DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After an equipment failure caused the client’s wheel to come off and airbags to deploy, officers arrived and conducted field sobriety tests. The client reported two drinks, felt tired and in pain, and asked for clarification during tests the officer poorly demonstrated. We secured dash and body camera video and hospital records, then scrutinized the blood draw and supporting paperwork for protocol issues. Citing the crash dynamics, injuries, and questionable FST administration, we pressed the state on proof. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a final conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

After driving home from a restaurant, the client bumped a pole while parking at an apartment complex and tripped on a curb. Officers were already waiting at his stairwell, detained him, used a portable breath test, and later obtained a blood draw. He declined field sobriety tests due to a documented balance disorder. We scrutinized the basis for the detention at his residence, reviewed bodycam and call records, and showed why field tests would be unreliable for him. Coupled with his proactive classes and compliance, we negotiated a charge reduction and deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

The client was stopped after accelerating quickly from a turn, then detained when the officer claimed to smell alcohol. Field sobriety tests followed, the client declined a specimen, and a warrant blood draw later reported a result over .15. We pulled the dash and body camera footage, scrutinized whether the stop was supported, whether the roadside tests were conducted correctly, and audited the blood kit handling and chain of custody. We also secured an occupational license during the suspension. Leveraging these issues in negotiations, we obtained a charge reduction with a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CDC 2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an equipment issue, officers arrested our client on a felony DWI based on field tests and a later blood warrant. We pulled the videos and saw the tests were done while the client wore stiff new work boots and was not using corrective lenses, and the officer’s instructions were inconsistent. We also flagged problems with the warrant process and the blood draw procedure. We compiled those weaknesses and pressed the prosecution, which agreed to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

After a minor curb strike led to a stop, our client was arrested for DWI. They declined a breath test, and a blood draw was later taken under a warrant after a lengthy delay at a medical facility. We obtained the body and dash videos and saw the officer conducted only two field tests, moved to arrest quickly, and recorded them poorly. We compiled those flaws along with timing concerns about the blood evidence and pressed the weaknesses with the prosecutor. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

After a single‑vehicle crash, the client was arrested for DWI and reported a sudden blackout after a drink at a club, later finding property missing and a club patron at the scene. We moved quickly on the license case and obtained body‑cam, hospital, and bar-related evidence to probe possible drink tampering and test the state’s proof of driving and intoxication. We also scrutinized the blood‑draw advisements. The client completed courses, a victim panel, an evaluation, and gathered character letters. Leveraging these issues and mitigation, we negotiated a reduced charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police found our client in a parking lot after the vehicle hit a curb and blew a tire, with no crash, injuries, or damage to others. He received medical treatment, including Narcan. We secured discovery, gathered hospital paperwork, and obtained a detailed letter from his long-term, highly structured recovery program documenting compliance. We pushed the state on proving intoxication by narcotics and highlighted the absence of an accident along with the client's sustained rehabilitation. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, with the resolution crediting him for time already served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

The client was stopped for minor vehicle movement after leaving a bar and agreed to field sobriety tests despite a prior knee injury. A breath sample at the station reportedly read 0.141. We pulled dashcam and bodycam footage, scrutinized how the roadside tests were administered, and examined maintenance and procedural records tied to the breath device. We also compiled mitigation, including completion of alcohol education and meeting attendance. Leveraging these points, we negotiated deferred adjudication to avoid a conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

Police responded to a crash where the client clipped another vehicle and later wrecked nearby. The client acknowledged drinking, performed roadside tests, and was taken for medical clearance where a consensual blood draw was done. We obtained dashcam, bodycam, the report, and lab records, challenged the reliability of field sobriety testing after a collision, and scrutinized the blood work. We documented that no one was injured and supplied proof of insurance to address damage concerns. With that leverage, we negotiated straight probation on the first-offense DWI, avoiding jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police stopped the client after several 911 reports of erratic driving and arrested him for DWI. An open container was visible, and officers ran roadside tests even after he explained he is blind in one eye and was recovering from recent spinal surgery. He refused a breath test, so a warrant was obtained and blood was drawn at a hospital. We moved quickly to request the 911 audio and patrol video and collected medical records to attack the basis for the stop and the reliability of the tests. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a result of probation with no jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC10

Allegations

After bumping a curb while giving acquaintances a short ride home, the client was stopped, performed field sobriety tests, and was arrested. They consented to a blood draw that later came back over .15, and the case was filed as an enhanced DWI. We obtained the videos and lab records, scrutinized how the tests were administered, and emphasized key mitigators: minimal driving behavior beyond the curb, full cooperation, no prior record, and proactive steps like classes and character letters. Leveraging those points, we pushed back on the enhancement and negotiated a reduction in the charge.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

Stopped near a toll plaza after striking a barrier, the client was investigated on airport property for DWI. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and a later breath test reportedly registered over .15, leading to an enhanced charge. We pulled the video, police reports, and breath records, then built a mitigation package. The client complied with interlock conditions and completed DWI education, a victim impact panel, a substance-use evaluation, and multiple AA meetings. Leveraging that work and our negotiations, the state dropped the enhancement and reduced the charge, and we secured deferred probation.
