DWI/DUI Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Officers contacted our client while parked with the engine on after a night of drinking, and he admitted having a few beers earlier that morning. He completed field sobriety tests and consented to a breath test well above the limit. We scrutinized the encounter in a parked vehicle, raised issues about operation and timing of consumption, and pressed the state on the reliability of the tests. We also documented months of ignition interlock use already in place. The case resolved with deferred adjudication probation and credit toward the interlock, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CC9

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an unsafe left turn across lanes, the client told officers they had consumed alcohol hours earlier. Field sobriety tests followed, but there was no breath or blood test. We dissected the stop and the testing, emphasized the lack of chemical proof, and negotiated a path focused on rehabilitation. The client entered a pretrial program with an ignition interlock, and we monitored progress while repeatedly requesting early termination. Once a clean period was documented, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Travis County, CCL3

Allegations

Police alleged our client was involved in a minor traffic contact near an active scene and then moved the individual across the roadway for field sobriety testing. The client admitted to drinking and reported not completing all of the tasks. At the station, two breath samples registered over .15 roughly an hour after arrest. We challenged the administration of the roadside tests, the basis for the initial contact, and the timing and maintenance records for the breath device. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

After a nighttime stop, officers arrested our client for DWI following a breath test reported over .15. Moments before the stop, the occupants had switched seats, creating a real dispute over who was actually driving. Years later, the old warrant resurfaced and we took over the case. We demanded video and testing records, scrutinized the officer's instructions and the device documentation, and pressed the state on driver identification. After we raised significant evidentiary concerns, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Class B

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #8

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after noticing the vehicle riding on a flat tire and arrested for DWI. The client denied drinking at the scene and declined the roadside breath test. There was no breath or blood sample, leaving the state with only observations and field notes. We pressed the limits of the stop and the reliability of the impairment evidence, and highlighted the absence of any chemical proof. After negotiations and early intervention, the prosecutor agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CC3

Allegations

Police responded to a call that someone parked and stumbled into a bar. Officers found our client inside and noted intoxication. The caller was never identified or produced, and the state relied on vague statements from staff. We zeroed in on the timeline, arguing they could not prove when any driving occurred as opposed to drinking after arrival. We pressed the missing witness issue and made clear we were prepared to challenge the evidence. Confronted with these proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

Stopped for swerving, our client admitted to drinking, attempted the field sobriety tests, and then consented to a breath sample. Yet the license paperwork listed the case as a refusal, creating a mismatch with the officer's reports. We collected the records, documented the discrepancy, and addressed weaknesses in the observations that led to the arrest. Using that leverage in negotiations, we steered the case away from a permanent conviction. The matter concluded with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, cc9

Allegations

After a collision, the client admitted to drinking and was arrested for DWI. Officers documented field sobriety tests and a breath test that read 0.08. We obtained the police reports and evidence and parsed each step of the stop and investigation. We emphasized the borderline reading and the absence of prior history. Through targeted negotiations, we persuaded the prosecutor to reduce the charge. The client accepted a reduction with deferred probation, avoiding a harsher outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #9

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, officers found our client unsteady and conducted roadside tests on uneven ground, including grass by a parking area. The client had just struck a pole, the airbag deployed, and there was a head impact, yet testing proceeded. A breath attempt failed, and a later warrant blood draw allegedly showed a high BAC. We obtained bodycam and 911 audio to document crash effects and compromised testing conditions that explained the balance issues. Combined with the client's swift completion of alcohol education and other compliance, we leveraged these problems with the evidence. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law, #9

Allegations

Police stopped the client after a minor parking lot maneuver. He admitted to drinking earlier and performed field sobriety tests. A roadside breath test, and a later test at the jail, each read 0.10. We secured the jail medical records showing extremely high blood sugar and documented diabetes, consistent with the balance and coordination issues the officer relied on. We challenged the weight of the FSTs and questioned whether the stop and observations fairly showed impairment. Confronted with those issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CCL8

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the driver was initially warned and allowed to leave. Shortly after, a minor rear-end collision at a light led to a renewed stop and a DWI arrest. The client declined field sobriety testing and a voluntary blood draw, so officers obtained a warrant, but the sample was taken hours after the driving. We scrutinized the reports and medical records, noting the delay and identification mistakes. Using these weaknesses in negotiations, we secured a reduced charge with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests, and officers took them to a hospital for a blood draw after checking blood sugar. We obtained medical records confirming diabetes and missed medication, which could explain some of the signs the officer noted. We dug into the basis for the stop and the handling of testing, and presented those issues to the prosecution. The matter was resolved through deferred probation.
