DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

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.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, court 2

Allegations

Police contacted our client while seated in the driver’s seat of a stopped car with hazard lights on after a dispute among companions. The officer claimed an odor of marijuana, conducted field sobriety tests, then repeated the tests at a station with a different officer, obtained a high breath reading, and still sought a blood warrant. We emphasized that no officer ever saw the car being driven, noted reported mechanical issues, and challenged the basis for duplicative testing and the warrant. After we pressed these problems with the state, the DWI was dismissed.

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, 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 - 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 - 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.
