Case Reduced

STATE OF TEXAS v. A.I.

A.I. was driving late one night when he allegedly caused his vehicle to leave the road and drive into a state building. A.I. allegedly caused significant damage to the state’s property and totaled his vehicle. Police quickly arrived on the scene and A.I. was accused of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI).

A.I. was visually intoxicated and was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) in Galveston County, Texas. A.I. was booked at the Galveston County jail. A.I. bonded out and called our office for representation.

We were hired on the case and immediately got to work. We requested the dashcam videos from all of the police cars on the scene. After analyzing A.I.’s story, the officers’ statements, the witness statements, the officer’s actions, and A.I.’s actions, we began poking holes in the state’s DWI case.

Before trial, because of our representation, the state offered to reduce the driving while intoxicated (DWI) case to “obstruction of a sidewalk.”

A.I. took the deal. A.I. served no additional jail time, does not have a DWI conviction, his driver’s license will be suspended, he did no probation, and he did no community service. Additionally, A.I. was never charged with the accident. A.I. never had to sit for a trial.

Blood test result of 0.306 BAC

Case Dismissed

STATE OF TEXAS v. C.M.

CM was driving down the road on a sunny weekend day when he rear-ended another vehicle. The other vehicle’s driver and passenger called the police and reported that CM was intoxicated and just caused an accident.

Police rushed the scene and, without getting CM’s side of the story, immediately began performing field sobriety tests on CM.

The police officer, who was young and new, performed only one of the three standard field sobriety tests and arrested CM for Driving While Intoxicated (“DWI”) in Galveston County.

CM bonded out and hired our firm to represent him on the Galveston County Driving While Intoxicated case.

We immediately got to work by requesting the dashcam arrest video, talking to witnesses, and reviewing the police report. Upon reviewing the police report, our office found fatal errors in the police officer’s report. Specifically, the Galveston police officer stated that he performed all three of the standard field sobriety tests and that CM showed signs of intoxication in all three tests. However, the arrest video clearly showed that the police officer only performed one test.

Armed with this ammunition, our firm negotiated a reduction of the driving while intoxicated case. CM pleaded “no contest” to reckless driving and received six months of deferred adjudication with no community service. If CM completes his six months of probation then CM will never be found guiltily of any crime and will be eligible to have the arrest and charges removed completely from his record.  Additionally, CM will never lose his driver’s license.
