Buchanan Dam, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

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.  

Not unless a motion to revoke probation has been filed. You better get down there immediately and get caught up immediately to lessen the chance they file a motion to revoke on you.

Is the case still pending (open)? Yes, it is possible to get Public Intox charges expunged under certain circumstances. Contact an attorney directly with your name, date of birth, and case location - they'll be able to look it up and tell you for sure.
