Driving While Intoxicated – DL Hearing DISMISSED

My client was involved in a collision in which three cars were hit. He was arrested in Austin, Texas for DWI by the Austin Police Department.

The officer reported that my client had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his breath. The officer reported that he had bloodshot and glassy eyes. The Officer said my client’s speech was slurred and he mumbled.

We appealed the so called “automatic” suspension of his driver’s license. We filed discovery requests and subpoenaed all the officers involved to justify our client’s arrest and the suspension.

We were successful in keeping our client’s license from being suspended. We were able to get his ALR Hearing DISMISSED.
