DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for speeding, officers had the client perform field sobriety tests and then obtained a consensual hospital blood draw that later came back over the limit. We secured the full discovery, including dashcam, bodycam, reports, and lab documentation, and probed the legality of the stop, how the tests were instructed, and the collection and handling of the blood. Leveraging those issues and the client's lack of prior record, we negotiated a deferred probation outcome that kept a conviction off the record.

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant with takeout, the client was stopped when officers responded to a caller reporting a firearm. During the encounter, the officer noted an open beer, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and arranged a blood draw at a clinic rather than a breath test. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop, and examined how the tests and blood draw were handled. Using those issues in negotiations, we secured straight probation on the first-offense DWI, avoiding jail and harsher penalties.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County

Allegations

Police found our client parked in the driver's seat with the engine running after she pulled over because she felt unwell. Officers marked a breath test refusal and later obtained a warrant for a blood draw taken hours after contact. We secured the body cam and all paperwork, reconstructed the timeline, and challenged whether she was operating a vehicle at all. We also attacked the reliability of a delayed sample and inconsistent advisements. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a brief lane drift while reaching for a fallen phone, our client was arrested for DWI. They refused a breath test, and a blood sample was taken. We pulled apart the officer's account, noting confusing field sobriety instructions from two officers, no eye test, and that the driving issue stemmed from retrieving the phone, not intoxication. We also moved quickly to protect the client's license. Confronted with these weaknesses, the state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Our client was found at the scene of a single-vehicle incident and arrested for DWI. Officers did not conduct field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was taken later at the station. We obtained the videos and reports, pressed the state on the lack of roadside testing, and scrutinized the circumstances of the blood draw. With that leverage, we negotiated to remove the high-BAC enhancement and secured a reduction from an enhanced DWI to a standard Class B. The client avoided harsher penalties and resolved the case on reduced terms.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

The client was stopped after making a U-turn and briefly driving the wrong way. After admitting to a few drinks, they completed standard field sobriety tests. They declined a voluntary blood draw, and officers later obtained a warrant and collected blood hours afterward. Our team dissected the reports and video, focusing on the instructions given during testing and the delay before the draw, and emphasized the client’s clean record. We used that leverage to secure a reduction to a lesser charge.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

After a stop for clipping a curb at a roundabout, police conducted field sobriety tests, arrested our client for DWI, and, after a refusal of the breath test, obtained a blood draw. We obtained the reports and evidence and moved quickly to pursue a veterans diversion track that fit the client's background. Our team coordinated the application, assembled the required records, and worked with the prosecutor to secure acceptance. The client completed program requirements, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

The client was found in a vehicle with a blown tire after a night out. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and, after consent, obtained a blood sample that the state later claimed was slightly above .15. We dug into the discovery, scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and analytical tolerances, and emphasized issues with the roadside testing along with the absence of any collision or injuries. The client completed alcohol education and an independent evaluation early. Using this mitigation and leverage, we secured a reduction to a lower grade offense with straight probation.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police responded to a minor crash in a drive-thru. The client was taken to a hospital, a blood sample was drawn under a warrant, and he remembered little of the night. We moved quickly on the license matter, obtained the discovery, and scrutinized the blood warrant, sampling procedures, and chain of custody. We also collected hospital records to question the reliability of intoxication observations made while he was injured and medicated. Leveraging these issues in negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was arrested for a third DWI. Officers ran roadside tests and drew blood, which later showed multiple substances. We scrutinized the reason for the stop, how the tests were given, and the handling of the blood evidence. We also documented recent treatment and strong family support to mitigate risk. With those challenges and mitigation on the table, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 7

Allegations

The client was accused of a second DWI after leaving a tense gathering where others tried to start a fight. They drove a short distance toward home and were stopped, with no specific traffic violation stated, and officers removed them from the vehicle. Because it was cold and windy, they declined roadside tests but later provided a breath sample at the jail. We challenged the basis for the stop and developed a necessity theme showing they left to avoid harm. With that leverage, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 1

Allegations

The client was contacted in a parking area after officers saw the vehicle ride up on a curb. She struggled with roadside tests and later provided a breath sample around 0.20. With a very old prior, the case was filed as a Class A second. We pulled the reports and video, examined how the tests were conducted, and built a mitigation package highlighting the long gap since the prior, immediate compliance with interlock, treatment steps, and the medication alcohol issue, plus strong character support. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received straight probation.
