Our Track Record

100%

Success Rate on Public Intox Charges.

That is not a rounded number — 100% of clients we've represented on a public intox charge had their case dismissed or deferred.

That means everyone we've represented has been able to walk away with no criminal record.

First offense, prior record, out-of-state resident, arrested at home, arrested at a bar, arrested at a parade — the situation changes, the outcome does not.

What's Really at Stake

Don't "Just Pay the Fine." Go for a Dismissal.

Public intoxication is not a traffic ticket. It's a Class C misdemeanor — a criminal offense under Texas Penal Code § 49.02. Pay the fine and you're accepting a criminal conviction. Permanently.

That conviction follows you to every employer background check, every professional licensing review, every apartment application, and every security clearance — for the rest of your life.

The maximum fine is $500. The record is forever. That's the trade you're making.

We've represented psychologists, teachers, coaches, consultants, truck drivers — people who understood what a criminal record would do to their career. Every one of them walked away with the ability to keep a clean record.

Public intoxication case dismissed — actual court dismissal notice

Actual Dismissal Notice. Our #1 goal is to get you one of your own.

How We Win

The State Has to Prove You Were a "Danger." In Most PI Cases, They Can't.

Public intoxication in Texas isn't just about being intoxicated in public. The state has to prove something more: that you were intoxicated to the degree that you were a danger to yourself or another person.

That's a high bar. And in most PI arrests, the evidence doesn't come close.

Were you sitting at a parade? Walking to your car? Standing in a parking lot? At home when the police asked you to step outside? None of those things make you a danger to anyone.

Our attorneys pull the body camera footage, the arrest report, and the probable cause affidavit on every case. In case after case, we find the same thing: the arrest happened, but the evidence for "danger" doesn't exist.

That's not a guess. That's how the statute works. And it's why our dismissal rate is what it is.

How It Works

You Make One Call. We Handle the Rest — Including Court.

In most Texas courts, your attorney can appear on your behalf for a Class C misdemeanor like public intoxication. That means no missed workdays, no explaining to your boss, and no sitting in a courtroom full of strangers.

Here's what happens once you hire us:

Step 1

We take it from here.

You sign up, we file a letter of representation with the court, and your case moves to the attorney docket. From this moment on, we're the ones talking to the prosecutor — not you.

Step 2

We keep you in the loop.

We reach out regularly with updates — even when the update is "nothing happened this week." We may need you to jump through a couple bureaucratic hoops along the way, but we'll tell you exactly what to do and when. No guessing.

Step 3

It's over.

You get a call from us telling you the case has been dismissed. No conviction. No record. Like it never happened.
