DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

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 #3

Allegations

Police found the client asleep in a car that was parked in a drive-through after a night out. He was polite and cooperative, completed the roadside tests, and later gave a breath sample that was only slightly over the legal limit. We obtained the reports and video, underscoring that no driving was observed, the vehicle was stationary, and the result was borderline. We also documented steps he took to address alcohol and life stressors, and the risk to his job. Using those points in negotiation, we secured deferred adjudication.

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.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police found the client asleep at a traffic light with the car in park, performed field sobriety tests, and later obtained a station breath sample. The breath result was below 0.15. The client reported prescription anxiety and seizure medications and cold conditions during testing, factors that can affect roadside performance. We reviewed the video, breath-test records, and medical documentation, and challenged the officer's instructions and the device's reliability in negotiations. Leveraging those issues and the client's clean history, we secured deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction if conditions are successfully completed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court Law 3

Allegations

After a late night single vehicle crash triggered a 911 call, officers arrived well after the incident. The client performed field sobriety tests in heels on a dark roadside, then later gave a 0.15 to 0.16 breath test at the station. We reviewed the video, highlighted poor testing conditions and the long gap between driving and the breath test, and noted that the curve regularly causes wrecks. We also prepared to address ignition interlock log flags. After persistent negotiations, the state reduced the charge, removing the enhancement.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

Police were called to a parking lot after a minor vehicle contact. Officers performed only a pen and eye test while the individual remained seated, noted no head movement, then arrested for DWI and obtained a consensual blood draw. We obtained dispatch recordings, dash and body camera video, and lab records, and documented medical limitations that could affect any field testing. The blood result was very low and did not corroborate impairment. After we presented these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

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.
