DWI arrests in northwest Harris County may involve sheriff’s deputies, state troopers, or other law enforcement officers. After a traffic stop, an officer may ask you questions, conduct field sobriety tests, or request a breath or blood test. The arrest can lead to two separate matters:
Because these processes are separate, protecting your license does not automatically resolve the criminal charge.
Texas law generally prohibits operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. Police and prosecutors may use several kinds of evidence to try to prove a DWI charge. That evidence can include:
Our DWI attorneys may review whether the officer had a legal reason to stop you, whether they conducted sobriety tests correctly, and how they collected and handled breath or blood evidence.
A DWI conviction can lead to fines, jail time, probation, a driver’s license suspension, and other requirements. The possible punishment can increase when certain factors are present, such as a prior DWI conviction or other circumstances that make the offense more serious. A conviction may also affect your job or professional license.
The right defense in a DWI case depends on what happened during the stop, arrest, and testing process.
Our lawyers may review police reports, video, witness statements, test records, and other evidence for problems or inconsistencies.
