Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Dallas County, The City of Wilmer Municipal Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a brief swerve, the client was cited for underage DUI. They acknowledged drinking and submitted only to a roadside breath screen, then were released the same day with a citation. No evidentiary breath test at a station and no blood draw were ever obtained. We secured discovery, scrutinized the stop and the quality of the proof, and made clear we were ready to litigate. Confronted with those evidentiary gaps, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 299TH, DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police alleged a road-rage encounter with a firearm, accusing our client of pointing a gun and making a threat on a roadway. Investigators used automated license plate cameras to link a car to our client, then showed the complainant a single driver's license photo rather than a proper photo array. We demanded full discovery, especially bodycam, and prepared to litigate a suppression of the identification. We also produced receipts showing the handgun the state fixated on was purchased after the alleged event, undercutting their theory. After repeated resets and sustained pressure, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, the client pulled over right away. When the officer ordered them out, the client asked why, and was arrested and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude. We secured the patrol report, pushed for the dash and body camera footage, and centered negotiations on the absence of any evasive driving. We made clear we were ready to litigate the elements and take the case to trial if necessary. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, CCCL15

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after sending electronic messages to the protected party. We obtained the protective order, pulled the message and call history from the parenting app and phone records, and mapped each alleged contact against the exact terms of the order. The timeline and content created proof problems for the State and showed significant mitigating context. We also documented the client’s prompt entry into inpatient treatment and kept the court informed. After presenting our findings and pressing the evidentiary issues with the prosecutor, the misdemeanor was dismissed.

Charge

Theft - Class A Misdemeanor

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

After an eviction, the former tenant left bags of belongings in the home for weeks. Our client, the landlord, documented notices to retrieve the items, the utility transfer back, and receipts from a hauling company that removed the bags. When the tenant later accused theft and a warrant issued, we coordinated a safe surrender, secured release, and obtained the police file. We compiled the eviction judgment, communications, and timing to challenge intent and show the civil nature of the dispute. After continued pressure, we resolved it with a small restitution payment and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Davidson County, Birch Bldg, Court Room 5C

Allegations

Police alleged our client left the scene after a single-vehicle crash. According to reports and video, the car was disabled and the client walked away from active lanes toward a safer area, no other vehicles or injuries were involved. We pulled the accident report and body and dash camera footage, then compared the officer's narrative to the timeline and location data. We pressed the state on whether they could prove a knowing failure to stop and report rather than a safety move. Faced with those issues, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police responded after the client’s car hit a curb at an intersection. He reported being diabetic, had skipped medication, uses a CPAP, and admitted to a few beers earlier. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and obtained a voluntary blood draw at the jail. We gathered medical records, documented balance issues, and flagged inconsistencies in the reported location. Leveraging those weaknesses in the stop and testing, we pressed the State in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after allegedly cutting off another vehicle. Without a license on hand, they declined balance tests due to longstanding leg and back issues, and completed only the eye test. At the station they submitted a breath sample that tested high. We obtained the videos and breath-test paperwork, examined the officer's HGN instructions, the observation period, and machine records, and paired that with proactive classes and character letters. That pressure led to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Guadalupe County

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving after a long day on the road. Officers noted red, droopy eyes and claimed balance issues on roadside tests, but there was no odor of alcohol and the client insisted on a blood draw. The state’s alcohol analysis later showed 0.00, then they delayed the case while sending the sample for drug screening. We obtained independent alcohol and 10-panel drug tests within days, both negative, and built a record explaining the fatigue. We pushed the prosecutor, challenged bond conditions that required an interlock, and pressed for dismissal. The state ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Intoxication Assault

Location

Tarrant County, D297

Allegations

After a two-vehicle collision, officers alleged our client was intoxicated and reported injuries to the other driver. The client provided a blood sample after arrest. We obtained the incident report, body and dash cam, 911 audio, and medical records. We pressed the state on the severity of the reported injuries and whether the crash actually caused them, and scrutinized the blood draw and the officer’s procedures. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution reduced the case to a lesser offense with deferred probation.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for aggravated robbery after a roadside encounter spiraled into a confrontation. The client reported being cut off, followed briefly to get a plate number, and captured video of the exchange before being chased and shot at. We obtained and presented that footage, engaged the investigating officer, and pressed the state on the lack of evidence supporting a robbery. When the complaining witness could not be produced, we set the matter to force a decision. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer reported the odor of alcohol and had them perform field sobriety tests. They refused a blood draw, and police obtained a warrant for the sample. Our team dug into the stop rationale, the officer's instructions on the tests, and the warrant process. We pressed those points in negotiations and documented the client's prompt bond compliance, including installing an ignition interlock. The State agreed to straight probation, keeping the client out of jail.
