Corpus Christi DWI Defense Attorney

The Gould Law Firm provides aggressive defense for clients in Corpus Christi

In Texas, people who decide to drink and then drive are committing a serious criminal offense known as DWI (driving while intoxicated). Additionally, people commit DWI whenever they use unlawful drugs or prescriptions that alter their coordination prior to driving, or drive with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.

DWI Traffic Stops

When law enforcement has reason to believe that a person is operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, they will perform a DWI traffic stop. In order for law enforcement to perform this stop, they must have sufficient reasonable doubt that the driver is intoxicated. For example, if the driver is engaging in erratic driving behaviors or seen stumbling out of a bar and then driving, law enforcement will have legitimate probable cause and can stop the driver.

Once law enforcement has pulled the driver over for suspected DWI, they will look for further signs of intoxication. If they believe the person is intoxicated, they will ask the person to consent to a breath alcohol test. In Texas, people have the right to refuse breath tests, but will be subjected to enhanced legal penalties if they are convicted. If the person consents to the test and is found to have a BAC of 0.08% or higher, he/she will be arrested for DWI.

Additionally, during the DWI traffic stop, the driver will be served with a notice of driver's license suspension if he/she refuses the breath test or has a BAC of 0.08% or higher. From the day the driver receives the notice, he/she will have 15 days time to schedule an Administrative License Revocation hearing (ALR hearing) with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. Failure to schedule the hearing within 15 days will lead to the automatic suspension of the person's license for a set period of time as determined by the DMV.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST AROUND AND YOU CAN'T FIND BETTER
“My name is Cynthia, and my family recently hired the Gould Law firm to assist us on serious allegation. Mr. Gould & his assistant, Ozzie Ahumada, have been extremely helpful. Ozzie gave us his personal cell phone and he has been there every step of the way helping get my family member out of jail. I would highly recommend the Mr. Gould and his staff for all your legal needs!!!”

Cynthia Perez
WE ARE FOREVER, THANKFUL!!!
“It has been 3 years since The Gould Law firm reached an acquittal for my husband and every chance we get, we highly recommend their services. Mr. Gould and his team, literally saved my husband from spending the rest of his life behind bars for an allegation that was not true. While our legal system indicates we are innocent until proven guilty, the jury of public opinion differs from that statement when accusations of indecency with a child are thrown at you or the one's you love. Mr. Gould was simply magnificent when it came to defending my husband. His staff, helped prepare us for trial and although we knew the truth, your heart can't help but skip a beat when on the witness stand.... thankfully we knew how to look a the jury and answer truthfully. We are forever, thankful!!!”

Former Client
MR. GOULD REALLY FOUGHT FOR ME AND MY FAMILIES RIGHTS AND THEY WON MY CASE.
“My family needed an attorney ASAP and Mr. Gould was the only attorney that responded to my call immediately and I called at 7 o'clock at night. I called other attorneys but none ever returned my call. I needed help regarding a CPS matter and they even went as far as helping me with a legal matter that was going on at the same time. Mr. Gould and his staff kept in contact every day and even after court. Mr. Gould really fought for me and my families rights and they won my case. I've never seen an attorney in action like them. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Not once did they judge me for my past which many people do so do be afraid to contact them because they will get the job done and the results are great!!!!”
