DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Williamson County, Liberty Hall Municipal Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the officer said they smelled alcohol and performed roadside tests. Our client was cited, not arrested, and no breath or blood test was taken. Bodycam video included gaps in audio, and another occupant told police the alcohol in the car was theirs. The client also reported a history of concussions that can affect the eye test the officer relied on. We obtained the reports and video, highlighted these weaknesses, and negotiated deferred adjudication on the Class C DUI.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a speeding stop, the client was arrested for DWI based on roadside tests and a blood draw obtained by warrant. Notes indicated the HGN test was conducted with a bright light behind the officer, making it hard to track the stimulus, and the walk-and-turn occurred while multiple patrol lights flashed. The blood was drawn hours after the stop, and one collection tube appeared inadequately filled, raising reliability concerns. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate suppression. The case resolved with a negotiated term of probation, avoiding harsher penalties.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

The case began with a low speed rear-end collision after the vehicle ahead braked suddenly. The client acknowledged having a few beers, refused field sobriety exercises and a breath test, and a blood sample was taken later under a warrant. We obtained the dash and body cams and requested the jail blood-draw room video, then compared the reports to the footage, focusing on the long delay before the draw and claimed physical clues. Using those weaknesses as leverage in negotiations, we secured straight probation, avoiding jail and minimizing long-term consequences.

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 - 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 - 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, 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, 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.
