DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

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, 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.

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.

Charge

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.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The arrest followed a minor crash as the client pulled out of a service station. Officers reported an open container and conducted roadside sobriety tests before making the arrest. We moved quickly to collect the probable cause affidavit, crash paperwork, and video, and we scrutinized the officer's instructions and the testing conditions. We also highlighted the absence of injuries and raised questions about the reliability of the roadside testing in those conditions. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record if completed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

After leaving several social events, the client was involved in a minor traffic incident and crossed a median, drawing police attention. Officers administered field sobriety tests, then, after a refusal, obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We pulled the dash and body camera videos and dissected the testing instructions against NHTSA standards, while our team scrutinized the blood warrant, kit, and lab handling for weaknesses. With that pressure and the client’s proactive classes, we negotiated deferred probation. We also pushed to limit the term and conditions, keeping the client eligible for future nondisclosure.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The client was stopped for a suspected traffic violation and asked to perform field sobriety tests in a parking lot. After the tests, officers arrested the client and obtained a consensual blood draw. A search of the vehicle found nothing. We pulled all video and reports, challenged the basis for the stop, and dissected how the roadside tests were explained and conducted. We also scrutinized the blood collection and lab handling for procedural flaws. Faced with these issues, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

An officer lit up behind the client as they pulled into a residential driveway and gave no clear reason for the stop. The client admitted drinking earlier, declined roadside tests because of a prior knee surgery, and was arrested. A blood sample was taken later at a medical facility. We obtained the video and reports, questioned the justification for the stop, the claimed refusal, and the timing and handling of the blood draw. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

The client was stopped at a busy intersection after shifting from a left turn lane into a through lane and was arrested for DWI. Dashcam and reports framed the maneuver as unsafe, and the officer relied on balance clues from roadside tests. We secured medical records showing a recent cardiac procedure, prescribed medications, and longstanding balance issues to undermine those observations, and we litigated the legality of the stop. Using those weaknesses and mitigation, we pressed negotiations. The State reduced the charge and offered deferred probation, avoiding a final conviction.
