DWI/DUI Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

Officers responded to a minor parking lot bump and noted slurred speech, then had our client perform field sobriety tests despite knee arthritis and reliance on glasses. A breath sample registered around 0.15. We obtained the video and reports and emphasized the minimal nature of the contact, the client’s cooperation, and how his physical limitations undermined the field tests’ reliability. We also highlighted the age of the prior. After sustained negotiations, the charge was reduced to a first-offense DWI with deferred adjudication, minimal community service, and credit for time on the interlock.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Travis County, CCL6

Allegations

The client was contacted in a park after hours and declined field sobriety tests, explaining their footwear was slippery, then refused breath testing. Officers obtained a blood warrant after an unusually long process that appeared to involve a trainee and multiple location changes. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the refusal warnings, the delay before the draw, and the handling of the sample. Using these issues as leverage, we negotiated the case down and the charge was reduced.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

After a minor crash, officers responded and investigated for DWI. The client politely declined field sobriety tests and refused breath, and a warrant later produced a blood result around .18. We reviewed bodycam footage and the timing of the draw, then focused on mitigation given the strength of the lab number. We documented clean interlock compliance and proactive completion of alcohol education. The case was resolved with straight probation on a first offense, avoiding jail and letting the client move forward.

Allegations

After a first-offense DWI arrest, our client sought help to minimize the impact on their record and daily life. We obtained the case materials, evaluated the evidence, and compiled mitigation demonstrating accountability and steps taken after the arrest. We engaged the prosecutor and advocated for a community-based outcome. Through sustained negotiations, we secured a straight probation resolution. The client accepted probation and continued with daily responsibilities under supervised terms.
