Can i get my DWI charged dropped ?

Answered by attorney Patrick Short
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Firm of Patrick Short
You will need to consult with an attorney to determine the merits of your case and how strong of a case the State of Texas has against you.  You also need to have an attorney request an ALR Hearing on your driver's license as this hearing allows a trial lawyer to gather the version of the facts that will most likely be testified to by the police officer(s) that arrested you. You should not discuss your case or do anything on social media about this arrest.  Keep your version of the facts to yourself until you have had the opportunity to discuss this case with a trial lawyer who does criminal law and DWI cases. The date you were arrested is important as there are time limitations regarding your ALR hearing.  I hope this helps you understand the importance of the ALR hearing. A lawyer will want to know the reasonable suspicion to detain you and the probable cause for arresting you.  You should do everything you can to remember exactly what you said to the officer and what was asked of you by the officer. You should also construct a timeline for yourself using your cell phone data in order to help support your version of the events.  And, if you did drink alcohol or take medications prior to your arrest, recall the times, quantity and if you had eaten.  If you have credit card statements for proof of eating, keep them as well as receipts for any alcohol. Hang in there, what seems insurrmountable often is not by a Texas Board Certified Criminal Trial lawyer by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Answered by attorney Nathaniel D Shafer

If I refuse a breathalyzer, what does the blood test they give me check for?

Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
DUI/DWI lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Depends. They will definitely look for alcohol, and then maybe drugs if it is close or under. Yes, they can still come after you for being intoxicated due to drugs or any combination thereof.
