Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony deferred probation when a traffic stop for a broken plate bracket led to a drug paraphernalia citation. Probation filed a motion to revoke and warrants issued. We moved quickly, notified the court, coordinated a plan for surrender and release, and requested the body and dash camera from the stop. We showed the only alleged violation was a minor Class C ticket and that the client had completed fees, classes, and service with only months left. The State withdrew the revocation and the court dismissed it, allowing the client to remain on supervision.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 204th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a prior DWI with a child passenger when a motion to revoke followed a probation check-in. The state claimed alcohol use and several positive ignition interlock readings within minutes. We secured device logs, vendor service records showing repeated swaps and calibration problems, and documentation that the client had reported malfunctions. We emphasized the inconsistent readings and that the allegations hinged on a single date. Confronted with unreliable evidence, the prosecution dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

While on felony deferred community supervision, the client was stopped for a license plate issue. The officer claimed to smell marijuana and a paraphernalia charge followed, prompting probation to file a revocation. By then the client had completed fees, classes, and service with only months remaining. We coordinated a controlled surrender, monitored bonds, and pressed prosecutors with mitigation and the minor nature of the allegation. The state withdrew the revocation, added a brief class and assessment, and the motion was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

Police responded to a call about intoxicated patrons and found our client in the driver’s seat of a parked car with the engine running while a rideshare was being arranged. The client declined to provide ID and refused field sobriety tests, was arrested, and a blood draw was taken under a warrant. We obtained and reviewed the bodycam and police reports, and secured proof of the rideshare request. Focusing on lack of operation and the stationary, legally parked vehicle, we challenged the basis for treating the client as a driver. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Our client was on deferred felony probation when a traffic stop resulted in a drug paraphernalia citation, triggering a motion to revoke. After warrants issued, we were hired quickly, coordinated a safe plan around reporting, and tracked custody and bond issues to keep the process moving. We opened negotiations with the prosecution, highlighting the client’s near perfect compliance, the low-level nature of the new citation, and a readiness to complete targeted programming. The prosecutor agreed to withdraw the revocation. The court dismissed the motion, continued probation, and added a brief class and assessment.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Fort Bend County, CCL-5

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after our client called 911 to deescalate an argument with a family member. Despite mutual pushing and the only clear injury being a minor cut to the client, officers arrested the client. We secured the 911 recording, bodycam, and reports, which showed no mention of any back injury at the scene, despite a later claim that an object had been thrown. The complainant also indicated they did not wish to prosecute. We presented the inconsistencies and lack of corroboration to the State, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Theft of Property (Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, D371

Allegations

The client answered an online ad for short term delivery work. He was directed to pick up industrial equipment with sealed checks supplied by a contact, then drop the items at a separate location. Believing the transactions were legitimate, he completed several runs and never kept any property. He was detained at a later pickup when a store linked a prior bad check to the same ring. We compiled the ad, text messages, receipts, and a timeline showing he was a hired driver with no role in payment. Confronted with the lack of intent to deprive and evidence of a third party scam, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Following a dispute with a former partner at a storage facility, our client admitted to a brief slap and was arrested for assault family violence. We secured the police report and dug into the evidence. The investigation showed the facility's surveillance did not capture any physical contact and photos documented no visible injury, while the state's case hinged on a pain claim alone. We presented those proof problems along with mitigation and our client's clean history. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 178th DC

Allegations

A dispute at a residence between two siblings turned physical, and our client was arrested on a felony family violence strangulation allegation. The client made no statement to police. We interviewed the eyewitness at the home, gathered photos and medical records showing a bite injury, and preserved relevant messages. We compiled a mitigation packet and highlighted contradictions in the complainant's accounts. After pushing for full discovery, witness lists, and a trial setting, the state could not secure its witness and dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Western District - Federal County, Western District of Texas (Waco)

Allegations

Law enforcement responded to a domestic dispute on federal property and arrested our client for misdemeanor family violence based largely on an initial statement and minor injuries. We secured the reports and pointed out the lack of corroboration and inconsistencies in the account. Engaging the prosecutor early, we negotiated pretrial diversion. Our team guided the client through anger management, a domestic violence program, and community service, and filed verified proof of completion. The government then dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Montgomery County, JP2

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic argument and returned later after another call. Officers noted the complainant had water on them and alleged our client had squirted it, leading to an arrest for a Class C family violence offense. We obtained the report, confirmed there were no injuries and that the state's case relied on minimal contact and an initial statement, while the complainant did not wish to proceed. The client proactively completed a brief anger management course. We presented this to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, CCC2

Allegations

A family argument that began in a car spilled into a parking lot, and officers arrested our client after labeling her the aggressor amid conflicting accounts. We obtained body camera and patrol car recordings that captured the complainant acknowledging she fell and a witness stating he saw only a verbal dispute. We compiled our client’s photos showing her own injuries and presented an affidavit of nonprosecution signed by the complainant. Confronted with these contradictions and evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.
