DWI/DUI Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop just minutes from home, our client was arrested for DWI and the state alleged a BAC over .15 from chemical testing. A first-time offender, the client quickly installed an ignition interlock and kept it clean, then completed the required DWI education and a victim impact panel. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the testing procedures, and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. Combined with the mitigation we assembled, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Officers encountered our client after the vehicle became stuck on a parking curb and began a DWI investigation. Only the walk-and-turn test was conducted, and a blood sample was later taken. We obtained discovery, including the lab paperwork, and pressed the state on the limited field testing and the lack of any clear admission of drinking. With no prior record, we leveraged those gaps in negotiations. The case resolved with a plea to probation, avoiding jail and letting the client complete supervision in the community.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2

Allegations

After a single vehicle collision with a parked car, our client was arrested for a first offense DWI. They reported limited drinking and significant memory gaps, so we centered our defense on the blood evidence and requested the full lab file and chain of custody records. We raised concerns about potential drug involvement indicated by the memory issues and noted the absence of any injured party. With those issues on the table and ready to litigate, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding jail time and keeping terms as favorable as possible.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Denton County, 362nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

Officers encountered the vehicle on the roadside with a flat tire and noted an odor of alcohol. The driver declined field sobriety tests, and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw. We secured the dash and body cam footage, examined the advisements given, and combed through the blood collection and lab paperwork for procedural issues. We also presented mitigation, including the long gap since prior incidents and a structured treatment plan. Leveraging these points, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant, the client was stopped by police and asked to perform field sobriety tests. There was no roadside breath test. A hospital blood draw was taken under a warrant and later reported a result over .15. We obtained the discovery, examined the affidavit for the blood warrant, the administration of the roadside tests, and the chain of custody and timing of the hospital sample, and pressed the state on reliability. Following negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Our client faced a second DWI accusation with enhanced penalties at stake. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, analyze the state's evidence, and identify pressure points in their case. We presented mitigation and negotiated directly with the prosecution, challenging whether the proof supported the enhancement. With that leverage, the state agreed to reduce the charge. The deal was structured as straight probation, sparing the client from the more severe consequences of a repeat DWI conviction.
