Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 4

Allegations

Our client was on felony probation and faced revocation after several failed drug tests tied to a long struggle with addiction. Before the violation, they had been asking for treatment and were accepted into a grant-funded, long-term inpatient program. We coordinated with the family and the provider, verified admission, and gathered mitigation showing genuine efforts to get sober. We pressed the prosecution to prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration and presented a structured treatment plan to the court. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Grapevine Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication at a transportation hub after a missed flight and a stressful day. The report alleged they were a danger to themself, but the videos and incident records showed they were responsive and moved along when asked. We obtained the recordings and paperwork, assembled therapy documentation begun right away, and submitted medical records of wrist injuries sustained during custody. We challenged whether the legal elements were met and presented the mitigation package. The prosecutor agreed to drop the case in the interest of justice.

Charge

Failure to Appear

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The case began when a missed municipal court date led to a warrant and a failure to appear charge. The client had moved out of state and was enrolled in a recovery program, making travel to Texas unrealistic. We compiled documentation of treatment and hardship, obtained a support letter, and pressed the court to recall the warrant. When bonding was required, we filed an attorney bond to bring the matter back onto the docket. With the warrant lifted and mitigation presented, the failure to appear was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bell County, 264th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case began after a prepaid salon appointment went sideways. When a refund was refused, a confrontation inside the shop was recorded on video and the state filed an aggravated robbery charge based on the display of a firearm. We reviewed the surveillance and communications the state intended to use, documented context around the disputed transaction, and built robust mitigation, including anger management coursework, spotless compliance on bond, and compelling character witnesses. After sustained negotiations, the charge was reduced and the court imposed a sentence of time served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Impeding Breath or Circulation)

Location

Bell County, 264th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested after a domestic dispute in which the complainant alleged choking. Our team scrutinized the timeline and saw the case was filed long after the alleged incident, overlapping with other proceedings. We obtained jail call recordings and messages between them that revealed shifting accounts and ongoing contact. We compiled those credibility issues and pressed them with the prosecutor, prepared to litigate. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a felony conviction and prison exposure.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Hays County, 428th District Court

Allegations

After a brief dating relationship ended, the complainant later alleged nonconsensual conduct and our client was charged. The report was delayed, and the timeline shifted between the initial report and a detective follow up. We secured the full discovery, including the probable cause affidavit, body worn camera, interviews, and cell phone media, then mapped a detailed chronology. Comparing each statement and file, we documented significant inconsistencies and no corroboration of force. We pressed these weaknesses and prepared to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Police alleged our client damaged a laptop during a disturbance at a public facility, leading to a criminal mischief charge based on the reported value of the device. We engaged early, gathered the incident materials, and opened negotiations with the prosecutor. Our team documented the client's active mental health treatment and advocated for a non-punitive resolution. We pressed the state on proof issues and presented mitigation. The prosecution agreed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Providing False Information and Forgery of Vehicle Registration

Location

Travis County, 460TH, DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Investigators executed a search warrant at the client's business during a probe into allegedly fraudulent vehicle registration and inspection paperwork, seizing electronics and ledgers. The case was later filed as falsifying information and forgery of registration. We got involved early, maintained contact with law enforcement, and compiled transaction records and context to explain the paperwork and the client's intent. After presenting that material to the prosecutor and challenging any inference of fraud, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Galveston County, CC2

Allegations

During a crowded weekend event, officers approached the client as he packed up a chair, seized his holstered handgun, and arrested him for unlawful carrying based on an allegation of intoxication. No breath, blood, or field sobriety testing was conducted, and the report referenced videos the state had not produced. We demanded all footage, challenged the evidentiary basis for intoxication, and made clear we were ready for trial. Prosecutors first sought a forfeiture of the firearm. We pushed back and protected his property. The state dismissed the case and the firearm was ordered returned.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after arranging a tow to retrieve a vehicle from a residence covered by the order. He planned to meet officers first and believed the protected party was not present, but the tow operator proceeded, the resident called police, and he was arrested. We reconstructed the timeline, documented his efforts to coordinate through third parties and remain off the property, and clarified the scope of the order. Faced with the lack of intentional contact, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

During a routine stop for a registration problem, an officer searched our client’s car and gathered a few crumbs of marijuana from the carpet, resulting in a misdemeanor possession case. We obtained the reports, scrutinized the basis for removing the client from the vehicle and expanding the stop to a search, and pressed the state on whether there was a usable amount. The prosecution acknowledged proof concerns but would not dismiss. We leveraged those weaknesses to eliminate any jail exposure and minimize financial penalties. The client resolved the case with a term of straight probation.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle

Location

Williamson County, General Sessions

Allegations

The client was accused of evading arrest in a vehicle after an alleged attempt by officers to initiate a stop. We obtained the discovery and mapped out the timeline, focusing on whether the client actually knew a lawful order to stop had been given. We also pressed the state on gaps in proof tying our client to the driver and on the intent element required for evading. After sustained negotiations and signaling readiness to litigate, the prosecution acknowledged the weaknesses and dismissed the case.
