DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

After a single vehicle curb strike, a passerby called 911 and officers arrived to investigate. The client admitted to a few drinks, declined roadside tests, and was taken for a blood draw under a warrant after a notable delay. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, and hospital records and scrutinized the timeline, the investigative steps, and the chain of custody for the sample. We also emphasized the absence of a traditional traffic stop and the client’s prompt compliance with bond conditions. With those issues on the table, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

Officers responded to a minor collision with a parked car. The client completed roadside tests and acknowledged having a few drinks earlier. They were later taken to a hospital for a blood draw amid questions about consent and delays. We obtained the videos, police reports, and lab records, and challenged the basis for the arrest, how the tests were conducted, and the handling of the blood sample. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution reduced the case to a lesser offense with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, D371

Allegations

Police responded after a single-vehicle crash. The client refused field sobriety and breath tests, and a hospital blood draw followed. We stepped in mid-case, pulled the full discovery, and reviewed body-cam, 911 audio, the blood paperwork, and a witness account identifying the driver. With a high lab result on the table, we scrutinized the warrant and collection process and pressed the state on proof of actual driving. Given trial risk, we leveraged those issues to secure straight felony probation on a shorter term, avoiding prison, and worked to set manageable conditions, including occupational driving privileges.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

The client faced a first offense DWI charge. We secured the discovery, examined the state's evidence in detail, and assessed it for weaknesses. We prepared mitigation materials and engaged the prosecutor to push for a non-incarceration outcome. Through persistent negotiation, the state agreed to a plea to probation rather than time in jail. The case concluded with straight probation and court-ordered conditions the client could complete while remaining in the community.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

Police responded to a dispute at an apartment complex and contacted the client near a parked vehicle that was still running. No officer observed any driving. The client declined field sobriety tests after reporting she had just been struck, and a blood sample was taken later at a clinic. We secured the bodycam, 911 audio, and warrant packet, emphasizing the absence of driving on video, the time gap before the blood draw, and issues with how testing was conducted. After targeted motions and firm negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for alleged lane drift, the client was arrested for DWI after roadside tests and a blood warrant. We obtained dash and body cam video and the lab files. The blood alcohol was well below the legal limit, though toxicology noted THC and alprazolam metabolites. We dissected the stop, the field test instructions, and the timing of the draw, and lined up expert input to contest any drug-impairment theory. When the prosecutor refused a reduction, we leveraged the low BAC to negotiate deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction on the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

Officers found the client stopped at an intersection with the engine running and began a DWI investigation. He performed field sobriety tests in rain and poor conditions, then consented to a hospital blood draw. We obtained the reports and body cam, scrutinized how the tests were administered, and highlighted the adverse testing environment. Leveraging those issues along with his cooperation and clean background, we negotiated deferred adjudication with nonreporting terms and no ignition interlock. Completing probation will keep a conviction off his record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Our client was found asleep in a fast-food drive-thru with the engine running. Officers noted slurred speech and slow responses, and a blood sample later reported about 0.21 BAC. We obtained and reviewed the body-cam, dash-cam, and lab documentation, then discussed realistic paths forward. Leveraging early compliance, including installing an ignition interlock and starting the required classes, we pressed negotiations. The prosecution agreed to waive the enhancement and reduce it to a first-offense level, resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop the client barely recalled, officers had them perform roadside tests and took a hospital blood sample after reading the statutory warning. We moved fast to request the license hearing and lock in the officer's account of why the vehicle was stopped. Our team then combed through the reports and blood-draw paperwork for procedural problems and inconsistencies. We laid those issues out for the prosecutor, pressed our position, and secured a reduction to a lesser DWI with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 3

Allegations

Following a late night traffic stop, our client was arrested for a first offense DWI. They said they did not pull over right away because they did not notice the patrol car at first and waited for a safer place to stop, and acknowledged having drinks earlier in the evening. We obtained the video and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the field sobriety testing, and addressed license-related consequences. Using those factors and mitigation, we negotiated a result the court accepted as deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

Police responded to reports of erratic driving and found the client unresponsive in a vehicle. The individual was taken to a hospital, where officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw, and an arrest followed later on a warrant. We obtained the police reports, 911 audio, and the blood warrant paperwork and scrutinized proof of operation, the basis for the warrant, and the handling of the sample. With a prior DWI increasing risk, we emphasized prompt compliance with interlock and bond conditions and no new violations. The state agreed to straight probation, avoiding jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Following a single-vehicle crash, officers contacted our client, who acknowledged driving and reported drinking earlier. The client refused a breath test but completed two roadside exercises, and the eye test was not administered. A warrant blood draw followed. We obtained the videos and lab records and uncovered a meaningful gap between a hospital screening number and the official crime lab result of 0.128. We used the limited field testing and the blood-result discrepancy to press the prosecution. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a final conviction.
