DWI/DUI Case Results in Tarrant, TX

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.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Following a single vehicle crash with airbag deployment, officers detained our client and began a DWI investigation. Field sobriety tasks were attempted while the client was handcuffed, disoriented from the collision, and still dealing with a prior ankle surgery that affected balance. A blood draw was later taken under a warrant. We collected medical records and injury photos, obtained the police and crash reports, and attacked the reliability of the roadside testing and the circumstances surrounding the draw. Leveraging those problems with the proof, we negotiated the case down and the charge was reduced.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

The case stemmed from a single-vehicle crash. Officers claimed intoxication and conducted field sobriety tests despite the client’s visible head injuries. The client declined breath and blood, and a warrant blood draw followed. We obtained and reviewed body and dash video, the crash and medical records, the warrant affidavit, and full lab documentation, attacking the reliability of the roadside testing and the blood handling. Using those issues in negotiations, we secured a probation outcome with required programs.

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.

Charge

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, 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.

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.
