Manchaca Criminal Defense, DWI, Assault & Drug Charges in Travis & Hays County
A criminal charge in Manchaca or South Austin moves fast. After a DWI arrest, Texas DPS generally requires an ALR hearing request within 15 days after the applicable suspension notice is served or received, and evidence retention periods also run. Mark Hull, with more than 20 years of criminal defense experience, and Allison Tisdale, a former Travis County DWI prosecutor, act promptly to address the ALR deadline, request evidence, and evaluate Fourth Amendment issues.

DWI and DUI in Manchaca and South Austin. Arrests on Old San Antonio Road, Brodie Lane, Slaughter Lane, and the IH-35 South corridor fall in either Travis or Hays County depending on where the stop happened. A DWI can create significant criminal-record and driver’s license consequences. Deferred adjudication may be available for some qualifying first-offense DWI cases under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 42A.102, but statutory exclusions apply, and some qualifying DWI dispositions may be eligible for an order of nondisclosure. Dismissal, reduction, deferred adjudication where available, and nondisclosure where available have different record consequences. Allison Tisdale is a former Travis County DWI prosecutor. That prior prosecutorial experience provides firsthand perspective on how criminal cases are evaluated and prepared, and it informs the firm’s review of evidence, procedure, and defense strategy.
Assault and family violence charges. An assault case in South Austin or Manchaca, including a family violence case, may continue even if the complaining witness later asks that the charge be dropped or declines to cooperate. A family violence finding carries collateral consequences beyond the criminal sentence: firearm rights, child custody, professional licensing, and immigration status. See how we defend family violence charges → The Hull Firm challenges the state’s evidence on assault cases from the Fourth Amendment analysis of the arrest through trial, with a former prosecutor on staff whose experience informs the review of the evidence.
Drug charges. Many drug arrests in Manchaca and South Austin begin with a traffic stop on IH-35, Old San Antonio Road, or Brodie Lane. The Fourth Amendment challenge to the stop and any search is often a central part of the defense. Penalty Group 1 possession under one gram is a state jail felony, and a conviction can create lasting record consequences depending on the disposition and available record-relief provisions. The Hull Firm requests the complete stop video, the search documentation, and the chain of custody on every drug case before evaluating the evidence against you.
