DWI Dismissed
My client was arrested for DWI in Austin, Texas by a Deputy Sheriff with the Travis County Sheriff’s Department. The officer stopped my client for weaving. The officer reported that my client had an odor of alcohol coming from his breath and bloodshot eyes.
My client is an ex-police officer, so he knew it would be in his best interest to REFUSE THE FIELD TESTS, ALL THE TESTS including the BREATH TEST.
My client admitted to drinking “2-3 beers.â€
We took the case to court and let the State know we were going to fight the case. Knowing they had a weak case, the prosecutor agreed to DISMISS THE DWI, with the understanding that if my client commits no new offenses over the next year and agrees to pay a small fine for a traffic ticket, the case can be expunged from his records.
