DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for a turn violation following alleged speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. On video, they were polite and steady, showing only limited clues on the walk-and-turn and one-leg-stand. The officer noted watery eyes and an alcohol odor. The client declined both breath and blood testing, a warrant was obtained, and the lab reported a 0.139 BAC. We dissected the stop, the FST instructions, and the evidentiary chain, then leveraged our findings to secure pretrial diversion. After completing the program, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was found roadside with a disabled vehicle, and what began as a welfare check became a DWI investigation. Officers moved the client to a lot for field sobriety tests and later obtained a breath sample reported around 0.12. With no prior record, the client promptly complied with bond conditions, including installing an interlock. We obtained and reviewed the video and reports, documented the apparent mechanical issue and lack of crash evidence, and presented mitigation and treatment readiness. The state agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, our client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample around 0.14. We pulled the video and documented that the tests were given on a sloped roadside and that the client had a recent ankle injury, both factors that can skew performance. With no prior record but a high BAC, we advised against a jury trial and built a thorough pretrial diversion application, including prompt enrollment in recommended classes and interlock. The client was accepted into pretrial diversion.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 368th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped on a highway for traveling in the left lane, with no speeding or erratic driving observed. Field sobriety testing was repeated in bright sun, and the client disclosed an old knee surgery that could affect balance. A voluntary blood draw was refused, and a later warrant-based draw returned a result near the legal limit. We secured and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, challenged the legal basis for the stop, the test administration, and the visibility of required signage, and prepared a suppression motion. Coupled with proactive compliance and treatment, we negotiated straight felony probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was charged with a second-offense DWI after arriving at a scene where an officer engaged them without citing any traffic violation. They acknowledged having a few beers, performed roadside tests, declined a breath test, and later provided a blood sample. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinizing the basis for the initial detention, the officer’s instructions during the tests, and the timing and handling of the blood draw. Leveraging those weaknesses and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, our client was arrested for DWI and taken for a blood draw under a warrant after declining breath testing. The officer relied heavily on field sobriety exercises even though the client had a documented knee surgery that could affect balance. We obtained the video, reports, and warrant paperwork and challenged the basis for the stop and the weight the state placed on those tests. We also pressed for disclosure on the blood evidence and chain of custody. Faced with credibility and proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

Officers approached after the client remained stopped at a traffic light, then conducted a DWI investigation. The client performed field sobriety tests and a blood sample was taken at the jail. We obtained the videos, reports, and lab paperwork, and challenged the basis for the stop, the way the tests were administered, and the circumstances of the blood draw. We also pressed the state on its ability to prove a true second offense. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

After backing out of a parking space, the client was stopped almost immediately when an officer claimed the vehicle crossed center lines while reversing. Field sobriety tests were conducted, the client declined breath testing, and officers obtained a blood warrant. We secured dashcam video from the vehicle and compared it to the report, raising doubt about the stated reason for the stop and how the roadside tests were administered. We challenged the stop and the blood draw procedures, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police contacted the client after a brief driving incident near a store and made a DWI arrest. Field sobriety tests were attempted even though the client had chronic knee pain and ongoing memory issues, which affected balance and following instructions. A blood sample was taken, and the client did not recall consenting. We obtained the dashcam, bodycam, police report, any blood warrant and full lab records to examine collection, transport and testing. Using those weaknesses and the medical limitations, we secured probation.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 277th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI with a child passenger after an officer reported reckless driving and a near miss during a traffic stop. A family member retrieved the children from the scene. With no prior record, we moved quickly to gather the reports and available video, examine the arrest narrative, and identify leverage points. We emphasized the client’s clean history and addressed the state’s child-safety concerns in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and supervision, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

After a minor rear‑end crash, the client was arrested for DWI following field sobriety tests. They reported taking prescribed sleep medication after a sleepless night, and the blood analysis showed zero alcohol. We dug into the videos and lab reports and pressed the state on whether prescription use actually caused impairment at the time of driving. Using that leverage, we negotiated a diversion agreement with monitoring, testing, and classes. The client completed all requirements, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

A traffic stop for an expired registration led to a DWI investigation. The officer relied heavily on the eye test and noted some difficulty on the walk and turn, but there was no bad driving observed. The client refused breath testing, consented to a blood draw, and the result later came back below the legal limit with no drugs detected. We reviewed bodycam and reports, emphasizing the lack of impairment cues and a timeline that undercut any claim of a higher BAC while driving. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.
