CASE RESULT – STATE OF TEXAS VS R.S. – CLIENT CHARGED WITH DWI.
RESULT: CASE REDUCED TO SPEEDING.
R.S. was driving in Galveston County late one night when he was pulled over for speeding. The officer approached his vehicle claimed to have smelled a “strong odor of alcohol” emitting from R.S.’s breath. The officer ordered R.S. to exit the vehicle and attempted to perform field sobriety tests on him. R.S. was then arrested for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Galveston County, Texas.
R.S. was booked at the Galveston County jail, bonded out and called our office for representation.
We were hired on the case and immediately got to work. We requested the dashcam videos and audio recordings from the police car on the scene. After analyzing R.S.’s story, the officers’ statements, the officer’s actions, and R.S.’s actions, we began poking holes in the state’s DWI case. We saw the weaknesses in the state’s DWI case and set it for trial.
Before trial, because of our representation, the state offered to reduce the driving while intoxicated (DWI) case to speeding (a class c misdemeanor ticket. We negotiated a deal where R.S. pleaded no contest to the speeding charge and received one-day deferred adjudication on the speeding ticket. The case has subsequently been dismissed.
R.S. served no additional jail time, does not have a DWI conviction, his driver’s license will NOT be suspended, he did no probation, and he did no community service. Additionally, R.S. never had to sit for a trial. R.S. was not convicted of any offense.
