Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke our client’s deferred probation, citing multiple out of state arrests and minor traffic matters while the client was living elsewhere. With an active no bond warrant outstanding, we coordinated with probation, prosecutors, and the client’s out of state counsel to avoid extradition delays and bring the case promptly before the court. We pressed the state on the proof it could actually present at a revocation hearing and negotiated to drop the out of state allegations. The client admitted to limited technical violations, remained on deferred probation with an extension, and the warrant was withdrawn.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

Officers claimed the client ran during an attempted detention after a street encounter, leading to an evading charge. We gathered the reports and available video, then scrutinized the basis for the stop, the clarity of commands, and the brief on foot pursuit. We challenged whether the facts truly showed an intent to evade and emphasized the lack of aggravating factors. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the case and award credit for time already served, resolving the matter without additional jail time.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of sexually assaulting a minor after an incident at a private residence. We obtained the full discovery, including recorded statements, and scrutinized the timeline and details. Our team identified witnesses who were present and gathered mitigation showing the client’s steady school performance and strict compliance with court orders. We compiled that into a persuasive submission and pressed the state in negotiations. The matter was resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

Our client was on deferred adjudication when a felony motion to revoke was filed after several out‑of‑state arrests triggered a warrant. We coordinated with probation and out‑of‑state counsel, obtained records, and challenged what the State could actually prove. In negotiations we pushed to remove the most serious allegations and narrowed the case to minor traffic matters. After arranging a controlled appearance, the warrant was lifted and the judge continued the client on deferred probation with an extension rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was pulled over for alleged extreme speeding. Officers removed the driver, handcuffed them, and placed them in a patrol car, then searched the vehicle without asking for consent, locating a handgun in a backpack on the back seat. We secured the dash and body camera footage, which showed no consent to search, minimal questioning before detention, and jurisdictional problems with the stop itself. We built a suppression strategy around those defects and pressed the prosecution. Facing those issues, the state dismissed the unlawful carrying case.

Charge

Illegal Dumping of Trash

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law No. 4

Allegations

After learning of a warrant for an illegal dumping case, our client sought help. Police alleged he left several wooden pallets at a residential dumpster based on a single witness. We examined the evidence and found the identification rested on a single photo comparison and there was no reliable proof the debris met the weight threshold for the charged level. The client voluntarily surrendered and posted bond. We presented these issues and pushed the state on its proof, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Rockwall County, Rockwall Municipal Court

Allegations

During a domestic dispute, a third party called 911. Officers arrived, noted a loud argument and some damaged drywall, but the complainant told them there had been no physical contact. No arrest was made, and a Class C assault by contact citation arrived later by mail. We got involved quickly, requested bodycam and 911 records, and emphasized the absence of evidence of offensive contact. The complainant signed a notarized affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. At an early court setting, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 221st DC

Allegations

Officers said the client was speeding, immediately detained them, and searched the car without consent. A tiny container of THC wax was seized, but no admissions were taken and the dash video showed no radar or lidar, only pacing. We obtained the footage and reports, challenged the stop and the timing of the lights versus jurisdiction, and highlighted chain of custody and the lack of lab testing for the trace residue. With a suppression motion ready and the state facing proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the felony possession case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance (First Degree Felony)

Location

Bell County, DC 426

Allegations

Prosecutors pursued a first degree manufacture or delivery case and pushed for a custodial treatment condition as part of probation. We obtained and reviewed the discovery, built a mitigation package, and emphasized the client's serious medical limitations and need for housing stability. We engaged probation and the state about community-based treatment options instead of a lock-in program. After persistent negotiations leading up to court, the state agreed to straight probation. The client avoided incarceration and can address treatment in the community.

Charge

Felon in Possession of a Firearm

Location

Bell County, 426th District Court Bell

Allegations

Our client was charged with being a felon in possession. We scrutinized the state's file and engaged early with probation and the prosecutor. When a custodial treatment program was proposed as a condition, we countered with significant health limitations and a structured, community-based plan that met supervision goals without incarceration. After sustained advocacy, the state agreed to a noncustodial outcome, and the case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Bell County, 426th District Court Bell

Allegations

Prosecutors alleged our client was involved in the distribution of a controlled substance. During negotiations, probation pushed for an in-custody treatment requirement as a condition. We gathered medical documentation and detailed how custody would endanger the client's health, housing, and essential benefits. We engaged the prosecutor to confirm terms and advocated for a plan the client could safely complete. The matter concluded with a plea to straight probation.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the officer claimed an odor of marijuana, had the door opened, and searched without asking for consent. A small leftover pre roll was found, which the client had purchased over the counter as a legal hemp product. No arrest was made at the scene, but a misdemeanor case was later filed. We obtained the video, police reports, and lab paperwork, then challenged the search and the state’s inability to prove an illegal THC concentration. After we pressed these evidentiary and suppression issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.
