DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped shortly after leaving a restaurant and arrested for a second DWI. The reason for the stop was unclear, and field sobriety tests were conducted while the client wore heeled boots, with disputed instructions. The client refused breath testing and later described a blood draw at the jail, while questioning whether the statutory warnings were given. We reviewed video and reports, challenged the stop, the testing conditions, and the timing and handling of any sample, and highlighted extended ignition interlock use on bond. The state reduced the case to a first-offense DWI with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an alleged rolling stop, our client was arrested for first offense DWI. They cooperated, completed roadside tests, and later provided a breath sample around 0.11 at the station. We obtained and reviewed the body and dash camera videos, challenged the basis for the detention, and noted problems with how the field tests were explained and conducted. We also pulled the breath machine’s maintenance and usage records to question reliability. Leveraging these issues, we negotiated a reduction to a non-DWI offense with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police contacted our client after they had already parked at a second location, and an arrest followed despite no traditional traffic stop. Reports cited an open container and breath tests over the limit. We centered the defense on the timing of any alcohol consumption versus actual driving and challenged the state’s ability to link impairment to operation. With trial approaching, we leveraged these issues to secure a reduction to obstruction of a highway. The resolution avoided jail exposure tied to the open container and eliminated any interlock requirement.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer claimed they had struck another vehicle, a claim that did not appear in the later report. Video and reports showed largely adequate performance on the roadside tests, with balance issues tied to documented medical treatment. The breath test registered high only after several attempts, raising concerns about instrument reliability and administration. We compiled these issues, challenged the basis for the stop and the testing, and negotiated a probationary outcome that avoided jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a 911 report of erratic driving. There was no crash or other vehicles involved, and an open container was alleged. The client admitted to having drinks and attempted field sobriety tests after telling the officer about documented medical limitations. A breath sample later read well over .15. We obtained the videos and reports, highlighted the limited driving observations, the impact of the medical issues on the roadside tests, and weaknesses in the open container proof. Using that leverage, we negotiated the case down to a reduced charge.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

After a traffic collision, our client was taken to a hospital where a blood draw later reported over .15. The client recalled only a couple of drinks and had a concussion with little memory of the event. We demanded full discovery, located the missing officer video, and pulled the lab’s underlying records. We showed that behavior on camera aligned with crash trauma and raised reliability concerns about the blood testing. With that leverage, the state agreed to a resolution of straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court

Allegations

After a traffic collision the morning after a holiday, officers investigated our client for DWI, pointing to an open container found among trash scattered by the crash. Body cam showed the first officer ready to let him go, field tests largely clean, then a supervisor arrived and retested him. A hospital blood draw came back well below the legal limit, and a later lab report showed only THC, with no proof of impairment while driving. We pulled the videos and lab materials, challenged probable cause and the toxicology, and set the case for trial. Faced with those problems, the state dismissed the felony DWI.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A routine traffic stop led to an arrest for DWI after the officer administered field sobriety tests and a breath test that read 0.12. The client had no prior record and was worried about job consequences. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the instructions and scoring on the exercises, and the breath device's maintenance, calibration, and observation period. We made clear we were ready to litigate suppression issues, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

Police were dispatched to a drive-through after a caller reported a possible intoxicated driver. The client was not asleep, was waiting for food, and spoke with staff when officers arrived. He admitted to having drinks, completed field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was taken. We focused on whether officers had reasonable grounds to detain and investigate, and on gaps in how the tests and blood draw were conducted. After pressing those issues with the prosecution and preparing to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash. Officers moved the client to a different spot to run field sobriety tests, then later obtained a breath sample that registered about 0.13. There were no other vehicles involved and the client had no prior record. We moved quickly to review the arrest paperwork, scrutinize how the tests were conducted and the circumstances of the breath test, and present mitigation about the accident and the client's background. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution approved pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash. Our client was found unconscious and taken to a hospital, where a blood draw later showed a BAC just under the legal limit. The officer’s DWI investigation occurred after hospital staff administered morphine, calling into question every clue he relied on. We pulled the bodycam, reports, and medical records to map the timeline and challenged the reliability of the evidence. After we set the case for trial and kept pressure on the state, the prosecution agreed to dismiss if two online classes were completed. The client finished them, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was accused of DWI with a child after an incident at a residence. While trying to get the children to safety during a dispute, the client briefly moved a vehicle to a nearby driveway, which was recorded by a bystander. There were no field sobriety tests, only a later blood draw. We obtained the video and body camera footage, scrutinized the lab work, and presented a necessity and minimal‑operation narrative. Faced with these issues and mitigation, the state reduced the charge and the client received straight probation.
