Briarcliff, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

CA DMV generally accepts no other state's classes. You can contact them and see if you can get a special waiver and approval for classes in the other state. You'll have to do the community service here, unless you return to court and obtain a court ordered change of probation terms to allow it elsewhere. If you decide to hire counsel for that, contact me. You can move out of state unless your sentencing and probation terms specifically prohibit it.

The gun case is largely dependent upon what happens with the DWI. If you have a CHL, then the only way to beat the gun case is to beat the DWI.  The strength of the DWI depends on (a) how you looked on the cops dashcam video (if there was one); (b) the station video (if there was one); (c) whether there was a breath test or a blood test; and (d) what you told the officer during the course of his/her investigation and arrest. If you look normal and sound normal on the videos, and there is no breath or blood tests, you should not plea guilty to it, in my opinion.  Your options with respect to the DWI is to plead guilty to it, or set it for trial. You can't get deferred probation in Texas on an alcohol case, so that is why the options are more limited than for some other type of cases. Often, the only way to avoid a conviction for a DWI charge is to take it to trial, and to win.
