DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Following a minor rear end crash, the client was arrested after admitting to having drinks and completing roadside tests. They told officers about a pre existing ankle injury that affected balance, and a blood sample was taken. We secured medical documentation, dissected the officers' reports, and showed how the injury undercut the field sobriety results. Using those weaknesses, along with the client's clean record and the minor nature of the crash, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop just minutes from home, our client was arrested for DWI and the state alleged a BAC over .15 from chemical testing. A first-time offender, the client quickly installed an ignition interlock and kept it clean, then completed the required DWI education and a victim impact panel. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the testing procedures, and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. Combined with the mitigation we assembled, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Our client faced a second DWI accusation with enhanced penalties at stake. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, analyze the state's evidence, and identify pressure points in their case. We presented mitigation and negotiated directly with the prosecution, challenging whether the proof supported the enhancement. With that leverage, the state agreed to reduce the charge. The deal was structured as straight probation, sparing the client from the more severe consequences of a repeat DWI conviction.
