Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Stalking

Location

Dallas County, 291st Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested on a warrant after a former partner alleged he and another person pounded on her door, pointing to home security video. We got involved early and reviewed multiple phone recordings between the parties. Those recordings revealed shifting accounts and credibility problems in the complainant’s story. We built a clear timeline and presented the inconsistencies to the prosecutor. With no prior record and substantial proof issues, the state rejected the case before indictment, and it was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a DWI when a motion to revoke was filed after they lost employment, fell behind on fees, and their vehicle with the ignition interlock was repossessed. We gathered pay records, repossession notices, and other proof to show the lapses were the result of genuine financial hardship, not willful noncompliance. We engaged the probation office and prosecutor, outlined a plan to get back on track, and pressed the weaknesses in the allegations. The state dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was detained after a pedestrian stop that escalated into an arrest for Interference with Public Duties. We moved quickly to file discovery, demanding all patrol car and body camera footage and obtaining the officer’s report. Building a clear timeline, we challenged the basis for the detention and whether the client actually impeded any official duty. After pressing these weaknesses with the prosecutor and signaling suppression litigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

After a collision on a major roadway, our client pulled into a nearby neighborhood to get out of traffic and away from an agitated driver, then later contacted police and insurance. A detective opened a case for leaving the scene. We got involved quickly, obtained phone records, tow and insurance documentation, and mapped a precise timeline showing the client attempted to report and never tried to evade responsibility. We emphasized safety concerns and the disabled vehicle. The state reduced the charge and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, CCC2

Allegations

After a late-night domestic dispute at a residence, the complainant confronted our client while he was in bed. He pushed her away to create space, and a family member called 911. Body camera video and photos showed only minor redness, while accounts conflicted on whether there was a slap or a defensive push. We obtained the videos, reports, and recordings, and noted the complainant later told authorities she did not wish to proceed. Citing self-defense and credibility problems, we pressed the State at each setting until the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence after an alcohol-fueled argument. After returning a second time, officers arrested our client for assault based largely on statements taken at the scene. We got involved immediately, filed our appearance, and obtained the reports and recordings to evaluate the evidence. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution and reported she did not wish to proceed. We presented that to the prosecutor and highlighted the unclear recollections tied to intoxication. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

After leaving several social events, the client was involved in a minor traffic incident and crossed a median, drawing police attention. Officers administered field sobriety tests, then, after a refusal, obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We pulled the dash and body camera videos and dissected the testing instructions against NHTSA standards, while our team scrutinized the blood warrant, kit, and lab handling for weaknesses. With that pressure and the client’s proactive classes, we negotiated deferred probation. We also pushed to limit the term and conditions, keeping the client eligible for future nondisclosure.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for speeding as the client left a local festival, officers noted alcohol on the breath. The client admitted to having a few drinks, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample around 0.11. We pulled the dash and body-cam video and found problems with the eye test, minor deviations on the walk-and-turn, and a strong one-leg stand, plus questions about the posted speed. We compiled mitigation, including early completion of required classes, and pressed these issues in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication probation, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. They started field sobriety tests, then chose to stop, and declined a breath sample. Officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw, which later reported a BAC well over .15. We gathered the body cam and dash video, arrest reports, and the lab’s testing records, scrutinizing procedures and preparing to challenge weaknesses. We also guided the client through targeted classes and mitigation, emphasizing no prior record and no crash. With that leverage, we negotiated straight probation with shortened supervision and a reduced fine.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Harris County, 232nd DC

Allegations

Police contacted our client at a drive-thru after a payment mix-up, not a traffic stop. An off-duty officer claimed intoxication, conducted field sobriety tests, and later obtained a warrant for a blood draw, with a young child in the vehicle. We pulled every video angle, the offense report, the warrant, and the lab materials. Our review flagged problems with how the roadside tests were instructed and highlighted the thin basis for the initial encounter. We put those issues in front of the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to fight. The felony was reduced to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC6

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, officers arrested our client on suspicion of DWI and added an unlawful carrying charge when they found an unloaded handgun in the center console with magazines stored separately. We obtained the dash and body-cam videos and scrutinized the basis for the stop, the scope of the search, and how the weapon was handled and documented. We highlighted that the firearm was not loaded, not brandished, and its accessibility was disputed, and pressed the state on whether the elements of UCW were actually met. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 6

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor deferred probation when the state filed a revocation, citing a new arrest in another county, unpaid fees, a positive test early in supervision, missed testing, and incomplete service hours. We pulled receipts, program certificates, and a run of clean UAs that followed the first month. We also documented that a missed setting stemmed from a court closure and that the outside arrest remained unfiled. After meeting with the prosecutor and pressing those issues, the state scaled back the allegations and kept our client on probation under lighter terms. Charges reduced.
