DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

After a short drive to pick up items, the driver made a wrong turn, was stopped, and arrested for DWI. At the station, an evidential breath test reportedly read around 0.11. We zeroed in on potential problems with the breath testing, including whether two sequential samples were collected within tolerance and whether the observation period and instructions were properly followed. We also front‑loaded mitigation with alcohol education and consistent compliance. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Following a roadway incident, officers suspected DWI and arrested our client. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the lab report showing a 0.04 BAC, well below the per se limit, and reviewed the video evidence. We challenged any claim of impairment and pressed the State by preparing for a speedy trial. Confronted with a weak case, prosecutors agreed to dismiss after the client completed a brief educational panel. The case was dismissed and bond conditions were lifted.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop for suspected impaired driving, the client was arrested for a first offense DWI and officers documented an open container in the vehicle. The client refused breath or blood testing. We obtained dash and body camera footage and reviewed the field sobriety videos with the client, preparing to challenge the stop and the officer's observations. That work helped open the door to pretrial intervention, but a compliance issue led the state to withdraw it. We then negotiated deferred adjudication to avoid a conviction and custody risk.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Stopped for alleged swerving, the client performed field sobriety tests and was arrested for a second DWI. They declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We secured the dash video, the warrant affidavit, and the full lab packet, then challenged the basis for the stop, the administration of the FSTs, and the reliability of the blood testing. With those issues on the table and despite a prior on record, we negotiated a plea to straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

A traffic stop for a defective headlight led to a DWI arrest. The client performed field sobriety tests and declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a warrant for blood that was drawn several hours after driving. We secured the dash and body camera footage and showed the prosecutor that the video did not corroborate impairment and that the delayed blood draw made any retrograde extrapolation unreliable. We also challenged the basis for the stop and arrest. Confronted with these issues and our readiness to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client faced a motion to revoke misdemeanor DWI probation after multiple alcohol-related violations, including hot blows on an interlock, a positive UA, and later SCRAM alerts. They had already completed classes, community service, and payments. We gathered monitoring data and the probation file, distinguishing true positives from device issues and stressing there were no new offenses. We pushed for credit on prior custody and a narrow sanction limited to proven conduct. The State reduced its demand, and the court accepted a time served resolution, closing the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police approached the client while they were parked roadside, without lights or a traffic stop, then initiated a DWI investigation. Field sobriety tests were conducted and the client later consented to a blood draw. We scrutinized the basis for the detention, evaluated how the tests were administered, and obtained the blood-draw video and paperwork. We also documented early compliance with bond conditions, including arranging ignition interlock and alcohol education. Using these issues and mitigation, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

After leaving a bar, the client made a prohibited U-turn at a red light and was stopped. Officers conducted field sobriety tests, where balancing was an issue, and obtained consent for a breath test that reported a high result. We pulled the patrol video, examined how the tests were instructed and performed, and obtained the breath machine's maintenance and calibration records. We raised serious reliability concerns and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped after driving on damaged tires, the client was arrested for DWI following roadside tests. No breath or blood sample was taken, and the officer conducted the sobriety tests without an interpreter. We obtained the videos and emphasized the language barrier and the reliability problems those conditions created. Leveraging those issues, we secured pretrial intervention requiring an ignition device, classes, and compliance monitoring. The client completed every requirement, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the client admitted to drinking, attempted roadside sobriety tests, and consented to a breath test. We dug into the stop, the officer's instructions and observations, and the breath testing records. In negotiations we raised concerns about the adequacy and reliability of the state's proof and signaled we were ready to litigate. Faced with those issues and our posture, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

After a stop for speeding, our client was arrested for a second DWI following drinks at a bar while watching a game. Officers conducted roadside tests, and a later breath test registered well above .15. There was no crash, and the prior DWI was from many years earlier. We moved quickly to request the license hearing, obtained police reports, dash and body camera video, and breath-test maintenance records, and helped protect driving privileges with an interlock plan. With mitigation and focused negotiations, we secured a probationary outcome.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After the client’s car broke down on the shoulder, help arrived and police followed. Officers claimed to smell alcohol, conducted roadside tests, and later obtained a warrant for blood after the client declined a breath test. We pulled the body and dash cameras and focused on a critical gap in proof, that no one actually saw the client driving and the vehicle was disabled. We pressed that weakness in talks with the prosecutor and challenged the timeline around the blood result. The state agreed to reduce the case to a non-DWI offense with deferred probation.
