Military career saved after Houston DWI Case Dismissed Military career saved after Houston DWI Case Dismissed

Houston, Texas - A long serving member of the military had her Houston DWI case dismissed, saving her military career.

After another vehicle crashed into her vehicle, a respected military member called the police to report the accident.  She had been out with friends and was on her way home.  Her car was totalled. 

When the police arrived at the scene of the accident, they focused their attention on investigating our client - a respected member of the military.  They did not seem to be interested in investigating the person that fled the scene of the accident, instead they began grilling our client about where she had been and how much she had to drink.  She fully cooperated and answered all of their questions.

They then asked her to do their field sobriety tests, which she did.  Fortunately for our client, the tests in this case were captured on video tape.  The officer wrote in his report that she failed all of the tests and proceeded to arrest her for DWI and then took her to the police department for more investigation.  Like many who are arrested for DWI, she declined to take a breath test because she does not trust the breath test machine.   

As stated before, fortunately the field exercises were on tape.  After reviewing the tape with the prosecutor and explaining the entire situation to the prosecutor, he agreed the case needed to be dismissed. 

If you or someone you know has been arrested for DWI, contact the Houston DWI Attorneys at Johnson, Johnson & Baer, P.C. to fight for you.  Our Texas DWI lawyers have over 50 years of combined experience.
