Charge

DWI With Child Under 15

Location

Collin County, 199th District Court

Allegations

After a minor fender-bender, officers contacted our client while a child was in the vehicle. She refused a breath test, a warrant was obtained for blood, and roadside tests were cited to support arrest. We obtained the videos and lab records, scrutinized the stop and blood-draw procedures, and assembled a mitigation packet showing no prior record, prompt counseling and treatment, and compliance with bond conditions. Leveraging that work, we negotiated the felony down to a misdemeanor resolution with probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Prior Conviction)

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A domestic argument escalated to mutual pushing, and the next day the complainant called a different police agency than the one with jurisdiction. The client had already left and only learned of a warrant during a later traffic stop. Felony charges were filed based on an alleged prior. We obtained the reports, emphasized the delayed reporting, venue confusion, and inconsistencies between the initial account and later statements, and documented the complainant’s stated desire not to proceed. We pressed these weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, Taylor City Municipal Court

Allegations

A dispute in a store parking area escalated after another driver argued with our client. Voices were raised, the other man postured aggressively, and our client briefly made physical contact. No bodily injury was alleged, and a citation arrived later rather than an on‑scene arrest. We obtained the reports and available video, emphasized the mutual nature of the confrontation and self‑defense concerns, and pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. We secured deferred disposition with a brief class, and after compliance the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law, #4

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute after drinking. Officers arrived to find our client injured, yet arrested the client based on a statement the complainant gave while intoxicated. We documented the client's injuries and that the complainant initiated the physical contact, then challenged the reliability of the intoxicated statement. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. Confronted with credibility issues and weak evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Brazoria County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The client was on probation for reckless driving when a new arrest in another county triggered a motion to revoke in Brazoria. After transfer to local custody, we moved quickly to get the probation file, verify past amendments, and calculate jail credit. We opened negotiations with the prosecutor, pushing back on a full revocation or extended probation and proposing a limited sanction that recognized time already served. The State agreed to reduce the sanction, and the court credited all days in custody, closing the case with time served.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

The client was arrested out of state on a Texas warrant after investigators linked deposits and transfers to a bank account in her name. She reported that an acquaintance had accessed the account. We compiled bank records, statements, and surveillance showing the cash withdrawals and electronic transfers were executed by third parties, not our client. We submitted a detailed packet identifying those individuals and arranged full restitution to the complainant. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court at Law No. 14

Allegations

After a collision, officers administered roadside sobriety tests that, by the officer's own comments, were largely normal, then obtained a station breath sample near .12. The client had a shoulder injury, was sent to a hospital, and later learned a warrant would issue. We got involved immediately, secured the video, reports, and breath-testing records, and built a precise timeline from scene to station to hospital. We pressed the state on the mismatch between the observations and the number, the effect of documented injuries on testing, and gaps in processing. Confronted with those proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a single‑vehicle incident that caused minor property damage. Officers responded to a 911 call, noted indicators of impairment, administered field sobriety tests, and obtained a consensual blood draw following a breath test refusal. The result later came back well over .15, increasing exposure. We obtained the body cam, dash cam, 911 audio, and lab records, ensured bond compliance with an interlock, and front‑loaded alcohol education. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with straight probation and no jail time.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

The client was arrested on a felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We stepped in quickly, obtained the discovery, and dissected the officer accounts and timeline. We engaged the prosecutor early, pressed on whether the evidence satisfied the elements the State would need to prove at trial, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case, and the client did not have to return to court.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

The arrest followed a 911 call about a parked truck outside a residence. When officers arrived, our client was outside the vehicle, and there was no direct observation of driving. A blood draw later reported a high alcohol level, and bond conditions were imposed. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, and reports, highlighting gaps in proof that the client had operated the vehicle and pointing to inconsistencies in how the scene was documented. We added mitigation with classes and strict compliance. Confronted with these issues, the state reduced the charge.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Harris County, 263rd DC

Allegations

A patrol unit activated its lights behind our client on a crowded freeway near an active incident with multiple emergency vehicles. Dashcam video showed the client signaling, moving across lanes, then taking the first safe exit, turning on hazards, and stopping, where they complied. The officer labeled this as evading in a vehicle. We obtained the footage and reports and argued the state could not prove intent to flee and that a safe place to stop had not been available in traffic. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Galveston County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence and arrested our client for assault after an argument ended with a phone being thrown and a minor cut reported. Bond conditions imposed no contact and barred the client from venues needed for work. We moved quickly, obtained the reports and bond order, and engaged with the prosecutor. The complaining witness made clear they did not wish to move forward and that the injury was accidental. We relayed that position, pushed for a prompt resolution, and prepared to challenge the restrictions. The state declined prosecution and dismissed the case.
