Pasadena cases go to Harris County. For workers in the refinery and petrochemical corridor along 225, a criminal charge can threaten a TWIC card, a CDL, and a livelihood — not just a court date.
Along the Ship Channel and Highway 225, employment often depends on credentials that a conviction can jeopardize: TWIC clearance, a commercial driver's license, site badging, contractor eligibility. A DWI or a drug charge is not only a criminal problem — it can end a career that took years to build.
That reality has to be part of the defense from day one. Some resolutions that look acceptable on paper are disqualifying in practice, and a plea that seems convenient can quietly cost you your ability to work. I look at the collateral consequences before we agree to anything.

Prior history affects exposure, but it does not decide the case. The State still has to prove this charge, and prior convictions can sometimes be challenged for enhancement purposes. Bring what you have and we will look at it honestly.
