Montgomery County Courts and Jail
Montgomery County criminal cases are centered in Conroe, the county seat. Misdemeanors are generally heard in the County Courts at Law and felonies in the District Courts. People arrested in the county are typically booked into the Montgomery County Jail in Conroe.
The I-45 Corridor and Lake Conroe
Many Montgomery County arrests come from stops on I-45, SH-242, SH-105, and FM 1488. On weekends, Lake Conroe adds a different charge: boating while intoxicated (BWI), which Texas treats much like DWI and which often involves Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens. Field sobriety testing on a boat or a dock raises its own questions about reliability.
Why Local Experience Matters
Montgomery County prosecutors have long been viewed as aggressive on DWI and drug possession, and blood warrants after a refusal are common. That makes an early review of the stop, the warrant, and the lab work especially important.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Woodlands arrest a Montgomery County case?
Most of The Woodlands is in Montgomery County, but part of the area extends into Harris County. The location of the arrest determines which county prosecutes the case.
What is BWI and how serious is it?
Boating while intoxicated is operating a watercraft while intoxicated. A first offense is generally a Class B misdemeanor, similar to a first DWI.
Can you handle my case in Conroe?
Yes. Leslie represents clients in Montgomery County courts from our Houston office.
What if I refused a blood test in Montgomery County?
Officers often seek a search warrant for a blood draw after a refusal. The warrant, the affidavit behind it, and how the blood was drawn and tested can all be challenged. You may also face a separate license suspension.
Should I talk to the arresting agency to explain?
No. Do not discuss the case with police or prosecutors without a lawyer; anything you say can be used against you.
