The first thing to bear in mind about Texas DWI law is the importance of applying for an occupational driver's license within 15 days of your arrest. Otherwise, you're faced with the prospect of a lengthy suspension whether or not you eventually defeat the criminal charges. At Laird Valdez, we handle all aspect of your legal problems related to a DWI charge, including protecting your right to drive while your DWI case is pending.
Although it's very difficult to negotiate an acceptable plea in a Texas drunk driving case, an aggressive approach toward developing your defense can lead to positive results in the pretrial and trial stages of your case. For example, we will examine the arrest reports, witness statements and police video to find indications that there was no legally sufficient reason to stop your vehicle in the first place.
We will also review the toxicology reports and field sobriety tests to spot weaknesses or inconsistencies in the evidence against you. We even use the administrative hearing on your temporary license as an opportunity to develop a record that can later benefit you at trial, especially in cross-examination of the primary witnesses against you.
Our experience with the defense of DUI charges can help people in a wide range of circumstances: first-time offenders, repeat offenders, juvenile or underage drivers, and people facing felony DWI penalties based on a serious accident or other aggravating circumstances.
