DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

Stopped for a broken brake light, our client declined field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. At the station, two breath samples registered .093 and .089. We obtained the dashcam and station video and emphasized that this was an equipment stop, with no roadside tests to show impairment. We also pulled the breath-testing records and pressed the state on proof of compliance and reliability at the time of testing. With limited impairment evidence and our challenges to the breath results, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

After a single-vehicle rollover, officers claimed our client showed signs of intoxication and had them perform field sobriety tests despite the client reporting significant back pain. At the hospital, police obtained a blood draw after medication was administered and later alleged an open container was found in the wrecked vehicle. We secured body-cam video and medical records showing serious spinal injuries and zero alcohol. We challenged the claimed odor, the validity of the field tests, and the timing and reliability of toxicology. We also noted the container likely shifted during the rollover. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A traffic stop in a downtown area led to an arrest after the client performed field sobriety tests and acknowledged recent drinking. A breath test registered at 0.08, and the client had no prior record. We gathered the reports and pressed the borderline reading and clean history in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to a dismissal path conditioned on completing a course and community service. We tracked progress to ensure everything was finished before the discharge date. After completion, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a multi vehicle collision, officers had the client perform field sobriety tests and then took them to a hospital for a blood draw. We dug into the police and medical records and pressed the state on whether the blood was drawn with valid consent and on the reliability of the roadside testing. With a prior DWI on file, jail time was a risk, so we focused on narrowing the evidence the state could comfortably rely on. The prosecutor ultimately agreed to resolve the case with straight probation.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court // cc2

Allegations

Stopped after maneuvering around a road hazard, our client was accused of weaving with a child secured in the back seat. They admitted drinking earlier, completed roadside tests, and later gave a breath sample at the station. Our review found two inconsistent breath results and no video of the actual test. We demanded dashcam and bodycam footage, breath test maintenance records, and challenged the basis for the stop. Confronted with those evidentiary gaps, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case from a felony to a misdemeanor and allow deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after clipping a curb, admitted to drinking, and performed field sobriety tests in high winds before a blood draw. We closely reviewed the evidence and police reports, focusing on how the wind and testing conditions undermined the exercises. We examined the blood evidence for compliance and consistency. We compiled these weaknesses and made clear we were prepared to challenge the arrest and the evidence in court. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Patrol lights appeared behind the client, two vehicles pulled over, and it was unclear who the officer intended to stop. The officer alleged signs of intoxication and an open container, conducted field sobriety tests, and later obtained a blood warrant. The client is anemic and fainted during the draw, and also had a recent arm injury that could affect balance. We challenged the stop’s legitimacy and argued the medical issues undermined the tests. After we pressed these problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The case began after another driver struck our client's vehicle and fled. The client pulled over and was outside the car when police arrived. Officers transported them to a different location for field sobriety testing, arrested them, and obtained a blood sample by warrant after a refusal. We challenged the basis for the investigation, focusing on the lack of direct observation of driving, the time gap, the relocation for testing, and the documentation surrounding the warrant blood draw. We pressed these issues in negotiations, presented mitigation, and secured probation in place of incarceration.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped after a lane change without signaling, the client cooperated with field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample at the station. We obtained the machine printout showing two valid results of 0.033 and 0.031, well below the legal limit. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the officer’s administration of the roadside exercises, and the attempt to claim impairment without any blood test. After we pressed these evidentiary problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Officers contacted our client while the vehicle was stationary and arrested for DWI after roadside tests. The client declined a breath test, and a blood warrant was obtained. We focused on whether the state could prove actual operation of the vehicle, scrutinized the administration of the field sobriety tests, and examined the timing and handling of the blood draw. We compiled these weaknesses and negotiated directly with the prosecutor. The charge was reduced and the client received credit for time served.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a signal violation, our client admitted to drinking and was given field sobriety tests. A breath sample was taken, reportedly over .15, and an ignition interlock was imposed. We obtained the videos, testing records, and police reports, then scrutinized the basis for the stop, how the sobriety tests were instructed, and the breath machine procedures. After sustained negotiations highlighting weaknesses in the enhancement, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC // ccl2

Allegations

Officers encountered our client standing beside a disabled scooter left in the roadway, keys present but the engine would not start. He admitted to drinking earlier, no field sobriety tests were administered, and he later consented to a blood draw. We attacked the State's proof of operation and intoxication at the time of driving, emphasized the hours-long gap between alcohol consumption and contact, and scrutinized the blood evidence. We also delivered mitigation, including treatment records, interlock compliance, and course enrollment. The prosecution reduced the case to a misdemeanor with straight probation.
