A DWI arrest threatens your license, your record, and your career. We know where these cases break.
Most firms plead DWI cases out. We have tried them to not-guilty verdicts in Collin County, won dismissals in Collin, Tarrant, and Dallas counties, and reduced others to charges that avoided a DWI conviction entirely. Call before you plead.

The clock on your license starts the night of the arrest.
A Texas DWI arrest opens two cases at once. The criminal charge moves through the court system on its own schedule. The license suspension moves through a separate civil process called Administrative License Revocation, and you have 15 days from the notice of suspension, usually served the night of the arrest, to request the hearing that contests it. Do nothing and the suspension takes effect on its own.
The conviction is the longer shadow. A DWI conviction surfaces in background checks, raises insurance rates for years, complicates professional licenses, and can end a commercial driving career. For clients with security clearances, board certifications, or immigration matters in motion, the conviction does damage the sentence never touches.
An arrest is not a conviction. The State still has to prove the stop, the tests, and the result beyond a reasonable doubt, and each of those has to survive scrutiny. The earlier we start, the more of the case we can contest.
Every DWI case has four pressure points. We test all of them.
A DWI file is a chain of decisions made at the roadside, in the station, and in the lab. A weak link anywhere changes the case.
The stop
An officer needs reasonable suspicion before the lights come on. We pull the dash and body camera footage and measure what the video actually shows against what the report claims. When the stop fails, the evidence that follows it can fall with it.
The field sobriety tests
Standardized field sobriety tests have strict administration rules, and roadside conditions, footwear, fatigue, and medical issues all distort the results. We break the video down against the testing standards the officer was trained on.
The breath or blood evidence
A number is only as good as the machine, the analyst, and the paperwork behind it. We examine warrant validity, instrument maintenance records, lab procedures, and the chain of custody on every blood draw. Test results can be challenged.
The ALR hearing
The license hearing is more than a fight over driving privileges. It can put the arresting officer under oath months before the criminal case is decided, and we use that testimony to lock the State’s witness into one version of events early.

DWI: the questions clients ask first.
Am I going to jail for a first DWI?
Will I lose my license?
I failed the breath or blood test. Is the case over?
Can a DWI come off my record?
The call is free. Waiting is not.
Evidence goes stale, witnesses move, and deadlines pass whether you have hired a lawyer or not. The earlier we start, the more we can do.
