If an individual was charged with resisting arrest in 2009 and then faced DWI charges in 2012, are there serious circumstances?

Those are both misdemeanors. The DWI carries up to 6 months in jail and a $2,000 fine, unless the person blew .15 or higher.

I had 3 DUI back when they had the 10 year rule and I was over that so I wasn’t charged for a felony back then is this correct?

So if it was not a felony at the time it was charged years ago, it does not become a felony now because the law has changed. However, be aware that if you get another one - ever - you can be charged with a felony.

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.
