Cisco, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

If you were driving, and the blood labs come back with a controlled substance in your system, you could be charged with DWI. If that happens, feel free to contact me directly to discuss representation. I only do criminal defense. If you want to sue the police officer for assault, you would need to contact a civil attorney. Be prepared to pay the civil attorney a retainer fee and an hourly rate. Tristan LeGrande 281-684-3500 tristan@legrandelaw.com

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.  

It seems like two questions, if you have an attorney you should rely on the advice of counsel, if not, you should consider hiring an attorney. At your preliminary hearing you should not be asked about any pending charges unless you are actually sworn and testifying, and then, hopefully your attorney can keep that question from getting an answer. A skilled criminal defense attorney can help you.
