DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a rollover crash reportedly caused by another vehicle, officers found the client disoriented and unsteady while bystanders assisted. He completed field sobriety tests and later consented to a blood draw, which led to a first offense DWI charge. We documented the collision dynamics and the effects of shock from the wreck, and used those circumstances to challenge how the roadside tests were interpreted. Our team also addressed bond conditions by obtaining approval for portable alcohol monitoring since he did not have a car. With that mitigation and continued negotiations, the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after leaving a small gathering and admitted to having a few beers. A stuck window led to an exit from the vehicle, and roadside tests were performed. Officers obtained a warrant and drew blood hours later, which came back over the limit. We pulled the patrol video, scrutinized the delayed draw and the test instructions, and pressed those issues in talks with the state. They would not dismiss, but our leverage improved the terms. The case resolved with probation and no jail time.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for expired registration led to a DWI arrest. The officer noted an alcohol odor and claimed multiple clues on the roadside tests. At the station, hours later, a breath test read just over .15. We obtained body-cam and Intoxilyzer records and challenged the instructions, scoring, and the delay, noting the balance test was performed accurately. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred probation with interlock and classes, avoiding a final conviction if the client completes the terms.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was stopped for not maintaining a single lane after leaving a bar. He admitted to having a few drinks and did roadside tests, noting difficulty on the walk-and-turn and one-leg stand. He refused breath and blood testing, and no sample was ever taken. We secured the dash and body camera recordings, challenged the basis for the stop and the way the tests were administered, and emphasized how steady and coherent he appeared on video. With no BAC and shaky field evidence, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, our client was arrested on a second DWI. They refused a breath test, and a blood sample was drawn many hours later. We pulled the dash and body cam footage, which showed the field sobriety tests on a sloped roadside while the client wore heeled boots, and the client appeared clear and coordinated. We emphasized that speeding alone is not proof of intoxication and that the video undercut the officer’s conclusions. We also challenged the ability to tie a delayed blood result to the time of driving. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 277th DC

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision and conducted field sobriety tests, then arrested our client for DWI. The client declined breath testing, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. With prior DWI history elevating the stakes, we moved quickly to obtain all discovery, scrutinized the reports, video, and the blood-draw paperwork, and assembled mitigation documenting treatment efforts. After persistent negotiations with the prosecution, the case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped for an expired registration, the client admitted to having drinks earlier and was asked to perform roadside sobriety tests while wearing heels. She consented to a vehicle search and later provided a breath sample. We scrutinized the officer’s instructions and the testing conditions, arguing the footwear and setup made the results unreliable. In parallel, we secured a pretrial diversion agreement that required classes, monitoring, and community service. The client completed the program, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

After a night out, the client was involved in a traffic collision and was arrested for DWI. They remembered little of the encounter and reported concerns their drink may have been tampered with. At the station they declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a warrant for a blood draw. Our team obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the stop narrative, the warrant, and the lab paperwork, and readied suppression arguments. We emphasized the client’s clean history and prompt compliance after release. The state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

The client was stopped after leaving a bar, admitted to drinking, and was arrested for DWI. He believed he performed the field sobriety tests well and did not consent to a vehicle search or a blood draw. We investigated the stop, reviewed the reports and available video, and questioned the justification for the stop, as well as the handling of consent and any implied refusal. We also pointed out a later officer remark about the reason for the stop that conflicted with what was documented. Faced with those issues, the State agreed to place our client in pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped for driving without headlights after a recent vehicle service and was arrested for DWI. They admitted to having a drink, completed roadside tests, refused a breath test, and officers obtained a blood draw by warrant. We secured the dash and body camera footage, analyzed the sobriety testing instructions, and documented inconsistencies and confusion caused by the officer. When the lab result returned below 0.08, we pressed the state on probable cause and the lack of reliable impairment evidence, making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a stop for alleged swerving and failure to signal, our client admitted to drinking and was asked to do field sobriety tests despite an injured leg. The officer’s explanation for the stop shifted, and several officers arrived while a tow truck waited nearby. The client refused a breath test, and police obtained a warrant for blood. We reviewed the videos and reports, highlighting the shaky basis for the stop, the subjective testing on the injured limb, and whether required advisements were given. Using that leverage, we secured entry into a pre-trial diversion program, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped shortly after leaving a restaurant and arrested for a second DWI. The reason for the stop was unclear, and field sobriety tests were conducted while the client wore heeled boots, with disputed instructions. The client refused breath testing and later described a blood draw at the jail, while questioning whether the statutory warnings were given. We reviewed video and reports, challenged the stop, the testing conditions, and the timing and handling of any sample, and highlighted extended ignition interlock use on bond. The state reduced the case to a first-offense DWI with straight probation.
