DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

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 - 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 - 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.

Our client was arrested for a first-time DWI. We got involved early, highlighted their clean history and immediate compliance with bond terms, including installing an ignition interlock. We pressed for a non-conviction path and secured placement in a pretrial intervention program. Our team prepared the client for program onboarding, monitored requirements like restitution and ongoing interlock compliance, and maintained steady communication with the prosecutor. After successful completion, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a parking lot after a night out and made a DWI arrest. The reason for the approach was unclear. The client refused breath testing, and officers later obtained a blood warrant that came back high. We scrutinized the reports and evidence, pressed the state on the shaky basis for the initial contact and how the field tests were handled, and emphasized the client’s clean record. The client began recommended classes. After sustained negotiations, the State reduced the charge with deferred probation.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Williamson County, Leander Municipal Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, the client was cited for a Class C DUI. The officer noted a brief admission to recent marijuana use and found a vape device, but no field sobriety or chemical testing was performed and no arrest followed. We obtained the reports and discovery, scrutinizing the narrative and the claimed signs of impairment. We emphasized the lack of objective testing and the weak connection between the device and driving. After pressing these evidentiary gaps with the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding during a late night drive. After admitting to having a few drinks, the officer requested roadside tests and a breath sample, both of which were refused. At the jail the client consented to a blood draw, which the state later alleged was .15 or higher. We obtained the dash and body cam videos, statutory warnings, and the lab file, and pressed issues with the escalation of the stop and the handling and documentation of the blood sample. With that leverage, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged illegal U-turn, the client admitted to drinking. Officers administered field sobriety tests and a breath test that read over 0.15, resulting in an arrest. We obtained the patrol video, police reports, and breath-test records, then scrutinized the legal basis for the stop and how the tests were conducted. We raised evidentiary concerns and made clear we were prepared to litigate. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police approached our client while the car was parked on a residential street with the engine running. They initiated a DWI investigation and obtained a blood warrant. We examined the legality of the initial contact, the absence of observed driving, and the affidavit supporting the warrant. We also compiled mitigation and documented a clean record. After sustained negotiations, the State approved pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client pulled into a parking lot to rest after a long shift and was found asleep in a vehicle, then arrested for DWI with a prior on record. We obtained the blood records showing a 0.00 alcohol concentration and secured the body and dash videos. We documented a longstanding medical condition and prescriptions that explained any fatigue or unsteadiness, and emphasized that toxicology, if any, was consistent with therapeutic use, not impairment. After we presented this package and pressed the state on proof of loss of normal faculties, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a minor curb strike, our client parked at a hotel lot. Police arrived on a caller tip while the client was outside the vehicle. The client admitted to drinking but declined a roadside breath test, and no field sobriety tests were offered. A later blood warrant reported a high BAC. We obtained the videos, 911 audio, and warrant, stressing the lack of driving observation, the absence of SFSTs, and a documented knee issue explaining balance. With mitigation and monitoring compliance, we secured a reduction and deferred probation, avoiding a DWI conviction.
