I can’t thank Cody Cleveland enough. I went through a stressful and emotional situation, and he stood by me every step of the way. He believed in me, fought for me, and got both of my cases DISMISSED. I am beyond grateful. If you need an attorney who truly cares and puts in the work, he is the one.

What’s the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?
Felony: Higher-level crimes (e.g., murder, aggravated assault, drug possession) are punishable by more than one year in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
Misdemeanor: Less serious offenses (e.g., DWI, assault, simple drug possession) with jail time under one year and up to a $4,000 fine.
Do I need a lawyer if I’m charged with a crime?
Yes. A criminal defense attorney can help protect your rights. They will ensure the prosecution has enough evidence against you to prove their case, negotiate plea deals, represent you in court, and offer you guidance.
What is bail, and how does it work?
Bail is a financial guarantee that you’ll return to court. It allows you to stay out of jail while awaiting trial.
What’s the difference between DUI and DWI?
Terminology varies by state. DUI means "Driving Under the Influence" (alcohol or drugs), while DWI means "Driving While Intoxicated." In Texas, only a minor (under 21 years old) can be charged with DUI. This is because minors are not allowed to have any detectable amount of alcohol in their system while driving. Adults in Texas are only subject to being charged with DWI.
What does "intoxicated" mean?
Texas law defines intoxication in three ways: (1) having an alcohol concentration over .08, or (2) not having the normal use of your mental faculties, or (3) not having the normal use of your physical faculties. Only one of these definitions needs to be present for a person to be deemed legally intoxicated.
Can I refuse a field sobriety test?
Yes, field sobriety tests are voluntary. However, in Texas, refusal of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests automatically gives law enforcement probable cause to arrest you.
