Avoid These Common DWI Mistakes in Texas
DWI Do’s and Don’ts — Houston, Galveston, League City, Texas
While it may be too late to avoid a DWI charge, it is not too late to avoid the common DWI mistakes people make after they’ve been arrested and released.
If you have recently been charged with driving while intoxicated or with being behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs — there are no good reasons to keep waiting. Hire a lawyer.

How to Avoid a DWI Conviction
- Don’t try to handle the matter yourself. Even if you happen to be one of those people who can talk themselves out of almost anything — everything you say, unless first discussed with your attorney, could potentially make matters worse.
- Don’t assume they’ve got you “dead to rights.” As a former assistant district attorney in Galveston County, Tad Nelson knows from firsthand experience that prosecutors’ DWI cases are often far from airtight. Regardless of how strong you think their case against you is — hiring a lawyer can still help.
- Don’t wait too long to hire a DWI attorney. Once you’ve been charged with a DWI, you have only 15 days to challenge the automatic suspension of your license. In addition to its potential for saving your license, at least temporarily, the license suspension hearing also represents an excellent opportunity to start laying the groundwork for your criminal defense later.
- Mind your Ps and Qs while the case is pending. Hiring an experienced DWI defense lawyer like Tad Nelson may not do you much good if you are re-arrested or caught driving on a suspended license. Similarly, don’t assume that because you’ve talked to a lawyer it doesn’t matter if you also talk about the case with your friends or neighbors or business associates. Prosecutors can subpoena these people.

Thank you Tad Nelson for standing up for me and what is right, Tad Nelson is obviously well known and respected through out the court system as he spoke with authority and precisely to the assistant DA resulting in the dismissal of my case before the case went to trial. Thank you again. if you want it done call Tad Nelson
I hired them a while back for a DWI out in Harris County, they're good and if you need help with any kind of legal matter, give em a call. For a lawyer, Tad has a great personality so working with him should be easier than working with other lawyers.
He is the one lawyer that I can call and put my trust into. We’ve used him a couple of times, once for a family matter and another time for a troubled relative. He’ll help, tell you the truth with no sugar-coating, and will work for his salt. He’s a good guy and when you go to their office, they make you feel at home, like you’re part of the team. Good lawyers and great folks.
I've had the pleasure of working with Tad personally as a technology consultant for him in the past. We've eaten lunch and dinner together. I know that Tad is very dedicated to his clients and cares for them off the clock. He's definitely the lawyer you want on your side.
