About Cody Cofer
I have tried and appealed cases as a prosecutor, Assistant Federal Public Defender, and a private attorney. I lead our trial‑tested criminal defense team in Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to protecting individual rights in both state and federal courts. I am double board certification—Criminal Law (2013) and Criminal Appeals (2024)—from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, placing me in an elite cohort of practitioners (less than 1%). I have successfully defended clients in high‑stakes matters including sex crimes, drug conspiracies, DWIs, murder, white‑collar offenses, and domestic violence. Peers and clients have recognized me consistently—earning inclusion on the Texas Super Lawyers list (2022–2025), AV Preeminent rating, and repeated recognition among Fort Worth Magazine’s “Top Attorneys.” Although our office is in Tarrant County, I handle complex criminal defense matters across Texas and in federal courts around the nation.

Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial
04/23/2025
Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...
