Specialized Practice Areas in DWI and Intoxication Defense

Lawrence Boyd concentrates his practice on technical aspects of Texas DWI law and administrative driver's license litigation:

• Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings: Challenging the automatic suspension of your driver's license following a breath or blood test failure or refusal, while using the proceeding to cross-examine arresting officers under oath.
• DWI and DUI defense: Defending individuals against first-time misdemeanor charges, underage driving under the influence, and repeat DWI allegations across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
• Felony DWI and intoxication assault: Providing formidable defense in high-exposure cases involving third-offense DWIs, accidents resulting in serious bodily injury, or intoxication manslaughter.
• Breath and blood test challenges: Scrutinizing the calibration, maintenance logs, and testing protocols of the Intoxilyzer instrument, as well as chain-of-custody defects in blood draw evidence.
• Field sobriety testing cross-examination: Exposing errors and non-compliance in the administration of NHTSA standardized field sobriety tests such as the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN), walk-and-turn, and one-leg stand.
• Occupational driver's licenses (ODL): Securing court-ordered essential needs licenses that allow suspended motorists to drive lawfully to work, school, and essential household appointments.
• Driver's license record restoration: Resolving DPS surcharges, license holds, and complex license reinstatement requirements to restore clear driving privileges.

Forensic Scrutiny and Landmark ALR Hearing Strategies

Winning a Texas DWI case often begins with the ALR hearing, which must be requested within fifteen days of arrest. Larry Boyd utilizes the ALR discovery process to subpoena police dashcam and bodycam videos, calibration logs, and police dispatch recordings long before the criminal case reaches a courtroom. By meticulously questioning arresting officers regarding the lack of reasonable suspicion for traffic stops or the absence of probable cause for arrest, he regularly uncovers critical contradictions that lead to preserved driving privileges and full dismissals of the underlying criminal charges in Dallas County courts.
