DWI/DUI Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped after a 911 report of swerving, the client explained they had reached down for a dropped water bottle. They denied drinking, but the officer noted an alcohol odor. The client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample at the station, which they understood to be on the lower side. We scrutinized the reports and evidence, stressing the limited driving facts from a third-party tip, the benign explanation for lane position, the clean record, and the modest breath result. The State agreed to pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Staff at a childcare facility reported that our client appeared intoxicated when arriving with a young child in the vehicle, and police made an arrest for DWI with a child passenger. Discovery later showed a high alcohol reading and a case built largely on staff observations and officer notes. We obtained the police reports and evidence, identified evidentiary gaps and procedural issues in how the investigation unfolded, and assembled strong mitigation from treatment and monitoring. We pressed those points in negotiations. The state filed a dismissal.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police were called after the client was found stopped in traffic and appeared to have dozed off from extreme fatigue after recent travel. He reported having a few beers earlier, but performed reasonably on field sobriety tests while officers repeated the eye test for several minutes. They pressed for a breath or blood sample without giving the required statutory warning. We scrutinized the stop, the FST administration, and the lack of warnings and presented those issues to the prosecutor. The client installed an interlock and began outpatient treatment. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A traffic stop led to a DWI investigation. Officers told the individual they seemed fine, yet a new officer was brought in to conduct field sobriety tests outside in cold rain, under bright lights, and with an additional flashlight in the eyes. The client declined a breath test, and a blood sample was taken later under a warrant. We dissected the testing procedures and environmental conditions, and highlighted the delay before the blood draw. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated deferred probation to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC// County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle incident where the driver struck a curb and officers were called. Field sobriety tests were given and the client refused a sample, but a blood draw was later taken at the jail under a warrant. Filed as a felony based on prior DWIs, the stakes were high. We obtained the police reports, warrant paperwork, and lab records, then raised concerns about the FSTs, the sufficiency of the affidavit, and the handling of the blood sample. Using that leverage in negotiations, the state reduced the charge and offered straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police responded to a single car crash after a passenger allegedly grabbed the steering wheel, sending the vehicle off course. The driver admitted to a few drinks, performed field tests, and no breath test was given at the scene, though a blood draw was taken later at the jail. We gathered statements about the passenger’s interference and scrutinized the state’s timeline and impairment evidence. After sustained negotiations and presenting our findings, the prosecution agreed to drop the DWI entirely.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police approached our client while the vehicle was parked at a residence after a caller reported swerving. Officers never observed any driving, yet had the client perform field sobriety tests multiple times with different officers, then obtained breath and blood. We reviewed the videos and reports and emphasized the lack of independent proof of operation and the problems with repeatedly administered FSTs. We challenged the basis for detaining and testing someone in a driveway and the reliance on an uncorroborated caller report. Faced with those issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated our client for DWI. The individual completed field sobriety tests but recalled little of the encounter. No roadside breath test was taken, and a later breath sample reportedly read above .15. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the stop and how the tests were administered, and raised questions about the procedures surrounding the breath result and our client's impaired memory. With no prior history, we leveraged these issues in negotiations and secured straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A traffic stop for a minor equipment issue led officers to investigate our client for DWI. They gave HGN, walk and turn, and one leg stand despite his documented joint and balance issues. After declining a breath test, a blood warrant was obtained hours after the last reported drink. We challenged the stop, the use of balance tests given his medical limits, and whether a delayed blood draw reflected his driving. We prepared suppression arguments and made clear we were ready to litigate. Facing those problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police conducted a welfare check in a parking lot and found our client in the driver’s seat with the engine running. No one actually saw him drive, so the state relied on inferences, field tests, and breath results around 0.16. We obtained all bodycam and breath-test records and highlighted that the two samples were close to the instrument’s variance limit, and that there was no direct observation of driving. We also presented mitigation that he pulled over to avoid continuing to drive. The state agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Police initiated a stop after observing the vehicle swerving. The driver admitted to drinking, an open container was visible in the console, and officers noted additional cans in the vehicle. Field sobriety tests were administered and a breath test was taken. Our team moved quickly, obtained the reports, and emphasized the client’s clean record and cooperation. We negotiated acceptance into pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction and setting the case up for dismissal upon completion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Officers found our client stopped at a light and asleep, then began a DWI investigation. The client woke, cooperated, refused field tests and a voluntary sample, and a warrant blood draw later came back over the limit. We reviewed all video, highlighting steady speech and movement at the scene, and scrutinized the timing and collection of the blood to curb its weight. Using that leverage plus proof of early classes and clean interlock use, we negotiated straight probation with a shortened interlock term.
