DWI/DUI Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC6

Allegations

Police followed the client for several minutes, then initiated a stop only as the client pulled into a residence. The report alleged erratic driving, yet the pursuing officer acknowledged no violations after getting behind the vehicle. A second officer claimed an earlier infraction, but the recordings and paperwork did not support it. Our client declined roadside tests, and a high breath result was later reported, but the breath test itself was not recorded. We dissected the videos, built a timeline, and moved to suppress, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Stopped for alleged weaving after leaving a gathering, the client performed roadside tests after warning the officer about chronic knee issues. The officer indicated the client did fine, yet arrested anyway. A breath sample was taken even though no written consent was signed, and another officer offhandedly said the machine reads high before calling it a joke. We scrutinized the reports, the officer’s instructions, and the breath testing paperwork, challenged the field tests given the knee condition and mixed messages, and questioned the breath test’s reliability and consent. The case was reduced and resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 399th DC

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a parked vehicle after a night out and claimed a collision had spun the SUV around. Photos the client took afterward showed only a faint scuff, not damage consistent with a spinout. The report noted a refusal, a search warrant, and a subsequent blood draw after roadside tests. We scrutinized the timeline from stop to arrest, challenged how the sobriety tests were administered, and examined the warrant application and procedures. By pressing the inconsistencies between the narrative and the physical evidence, we negotiated straight probation on the felony DWI.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC12

Allegations

Stopped for alleged swerving, the client declined field sobriety tests because they were dizzy and disoriented from a prescribed kidney medication that causes severe dehydration. Despite that explanation, officers obtained a blood warrant. We gathered medical documentation confirming the prescription and side effects and tied those symptoms to what the officer claimed to see. With no roadside test results and a strong medical alternative to impairment, we pressed the state, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 2

Allegations

After a minor collision with a parked, unoccupied car, officers initiated a DWI investigation. The client admitted to drinking, completed field sobriety tests, and recalled stumbling, which we argued was consistent with post-crash stress and an airbag deployment. They refused a roadside breath test, and a blood sample was later taken at the jail. We reviewed the police and crash reports, emphasized the absence of injuries, and challenged the weight of the roadside exercises. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Officers responded to a single-vehicle crash into a barrier and conducted field sobriety tests before making an arrest. The client admitted to drinking and later provided a breath sample around 0.15. We dug into the police reports and testing records, evaluating how the post-crash conditions and airbag deployment could have affected the observations and the tests. We paired those concerns with mitigation from a clean history in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Following a traffic stop for a suspected speeding violation, officers noted an odor of alcohol and arrested our client for DWI. The client completed field sobriety tests and believed the performance was solid. No roadside breath test was given, but at the station two samples registered .12 and then .10. We dug into the reports and testing records, emphasized the inconsistent breath results and steady roadside performance, and presented a clean history in negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

After dozing off at the wheel, the client struck a barrier and officers conducted roadside sobriety tests at the crash scene. There were no open containers and the client made no admissions, but a later breath sample registered over 0.15. We emphasized how fatigue and the disorientation of a collision can compromise the reliability of field testing, and pointed out other gaps in the report. With no prior record, we pressed these issues in negotiations. The state reduced the charge, and we obtained deferred terms to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, CC1

Allegations

Police responded to a minor collision and opened a DWI investigation. Despite the client’s documented balance and mobility issues, the officer conducted field sobriety tests and later obtained a blood draw that came back high. We reviewed the videos, compiled medical documentation showing the tests were unreliable for her, and confirmed any vehicle damage was covered by insurance. We also provided character support and a concrete plan for continued sobriety. With that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge, sparing a harsher conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

Stopped for a turn signal violation, the client was investigated for DWI after a drive-thru employee reported possible intoxication. Officers performed eye and one-leg balance tests and skipped the walk-and-turn when the client reported dizziness. A breath test was administered later by another unit. We secured the videos and reports, highlighting issues with how the tests were conducted, the delay before testing, and questions about device operation. We also submitted proof of ongoing treatment, character letters, and relevant medical documentation. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was arrested after a traffic stop and charged with a second DWI. She provided a breath sample and, due to severe shaking, was taken for medical evaluation. We shifted the focus to rehabilitation, compiling proof of intensive treatment, sober living, consistent meeting attendance, and volunteer work. We engaged the prosecutor and prepared the client to address the court with sincere remorse and a concrete recovery plan. The state reduced the case to a lesser misdemeanor with credit for time served, avoiding probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL 15

Allegations

There was a minor single-vehicle crash into a neighborhood fence, and officers arrived to investigate. The client admitted to drinking, completed field sobriety tests, was arrested, and later gave a breath sample at the jail that read 0.16. We obtained the police reports and discovery, scrutinized how the roadside testing was conducted, and noted that no roadside breath test was given. We highlighted the short window between last consumption and the station test and challenged proof of impairment at the time of driving. The state dismissed the case.
