Understanding Texas DWI and DUI Laws
Texas Penal Code Section 49 governs offenses for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, whether by alcohol or drugs. Convictions can lead to:
- Heavy fines and court costs
- Possible jail or prison time
- Loss or suspension of your driver’s license
- Installation of ignition interlock devices
- Mandatory education classes
- Long-term criminal record affecting employment and insurance
Even a first offense can carry lasting consequences. For professionals and commercial drivers, the stakes are even higher.
What Makes Our DWI Representation Effective?
Unique Perspective: Steve Sears’s background as a Collin County prosecutor means he understands police procedure, prosecutorial tactics, and courtroom dynamics from both sides.
Field Experience: Direct participation in police field investigation training allows for advanced scrutiny of traffic stops, breath tests, and arrest protocol.
Aggressive Evidence Review: Every aspect of your traffic stop, field sobriety test, or chemical test is examined for errors, improper administration, and rights violations.
Strategic Negotiations: We know when to fight for dismissals or reductions—and when to negotiate for alternative sentencing.
Key Defense Approaches to DWI and DUI Cases
We analyze whether officers had legal cause to stop your vehicle and whether standard procedures were followed from detention to testing.
Our review includes breathalyzer and blood sample equipment, maintenance records, and operator certification to catch technical errors.
We assess if roadside tests were properly administered, challenge subjective officer interpretations, and consult expert witnesses where needed.
If license suspension is imminent, we guide you through the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process and fight for occupational licenses critical for work and family needs.
Special Focus—Professional Drivers & Enhanced Penalties
For professionals, such as CDL holders, educators, and medical staff, a DWI or DUI charge carries risks beyond criminal penalties, potentially impacting licensure and career prospects. We represent all clients, including professionals, with attention to collateral consequences and strategic planning for future stability.
