Motion to Suppress Granted - .13 Breath Test and Stop Suppressed - Case Dsimissed Motion to Suppress Granted - .13 Breath Test and Stop Suppressed - Case Dsimissed

Houston, Texas - A Harris County Judge granted defense counsel's motion to suppress a .13 Breath Test and the stop which ultimately lead to a dismissal of client's Houston DWI case.

A Harris County Judge granted our motion to suppress the stop and motion to suppress the breath test today - the state was left with no option but to dismiss the Houston DWI case.  Houston DWI Lawyer, Dane Johnson represented client throughout the proceedings.

Client was stopped for failure to maintain a single lane in April 2008.  The officer testified that she had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath, red glassy eyes and her speech was fair.  After she allegedly failed the field sobriety tests, the Houston police officer arrested her for driving while intoxicated / drunk driving / DWI.  Client was taken to the police station and gave a breath test that resulted in scores of .12 and .13.

After testimony by 3 state witnesses and client, the Judge determined that the officer did not have a reason to stop client and that the breath test was coerced and therefore inadmissible.  The state then was forced to dismiss the DWI.
