Aggressive Defense Against Texas DWI Charges

In Texas, a DWI arrest sets into motion two distinct legal battles: a criminal case in Midland County courts and an administrative driver license suspension proceeding with the Department of Public Safety. Trey Porter Law analyzes every step taken by law enforcement to uncover constitutional violations, including:

• Challenging traffic stops and probable cause: Scrutinizing whether patrol officers had reasonable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop or extend roadside detention.
• Attacking field sobriety testing: Exposing errors in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests administered on uneven West Texas terrain or in violation of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration standards.
• Suppressing breath and blood test results: Reviewing the calibration history of the Intoxilyzer instrument and uncovering chain of custody flaws or contamination in laboratory blood analyses.
• Defending felony and repeat DWI allegations: Providing aggressive representation against DWI with child passenger, intoxication assault, and third-time felony charges.

ALR Hearings and Occupational Driver License Protection

Motorists arrested for DWI have only 15 days from the date of arrest to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. Failing to do so results in an automatic suspension of your Texas driver license. Trey Porter Law uses the ALR hearing not only to contest the suspension but also to cross-examine arresting officers under oath before criminal trial. In cases where a suspension is enforced, the firm assists clients in obtaining an Essential Need Occupational Driver License, allowing Permian Basin workers to travel to employment and support their households.

Expunctions, Record Sealing, and Select Criminal Defense

In addition to intoxication defense, Trey Porter Law helps Texans clear their names and protect their reputations across a broad spectrum of criminal allegations:

• Expunction of criminal records: Erasing arrest records, mugshots, and court filings for dismissed charges or acquitted cases under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55.
• Orders of nondisclosure: Sealing qualifying criminal history from public background checks and prospective employers following successful deferred adjudication.
• Public intoxication defense: Defending Class C misdemeanor citations to prevent convictions on permanent records.
• Drug possession defense: Representing clients accused of misdemeanor controlled substance possession and prescription medication offenses.
