Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

After a single vehicle incident, officers detained the client and, during the arrest, found a vape pen they believed contained THC. A felony possession case was filed off that discovery. We obtained the evidence and confirmed the contents of the cartridge were never sent for laboratory analysis, leaving the state without proof of identity or concentration of a controlled substance. We pressed that deficiency in negotiations and made clear we were ready to litigate it. Confronted with insufficient proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

After a single vehicle incident left the car in a roadside ditch, officers noted poor balance on roadside tests and arrested our client for DWI. It was filed as a second offense, even though the earlier arrest had been reduced to reckless driving. The client consented to a blood draw. We obtained the patrol video and sought the 911 audio to pin down how and when officers arrived, then showed prosecutors why the enhancement did not apply. We also pushed for a non jail outcome. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the case resolved on favorable terms.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, 296th District Court

Allegations

Police responded after a neighborhood crash and never observed the client driving. EMS took him to a hospital for a head injury, where a blood sample was drawn later. We obtained the 911 recording, the neighbor’s photos and video, camera footage, and all reports, and compared them with medical records. The evidence showed a shaky timeline between any driving and the blood draw, contradictions about where and what was struck, and paperwork issues by the officer. After we laid out these problems, the state dismissed the felony DWI.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Provide Information, Attended Vehicle (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Richardson Municipal Court

Allegations

After a minor contact in traffic, the client left without exchanging information and later received a citation at home. We moved quickly, secured home camera footage showing preexisting body damage, and collected proof of insurance and cooperation. We compared the available photos to the earlier damage and showed that the state could not reliably attribute any new harm to this event. Leveraging those evidentiary issues and a trial posture, we convinced the municipal prosecutor to dismiss the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash where responding officers reported confusion, poor balance and a car left in gear. The client declined a breath test and was taken to a hospital for a blood draw, which later indicated a high BAC. We obtained and reviewed all body cam, dash cam and lab records, reconstructed the timeline, and scrutinized the video and laboratory process. We assembled a comprehensive mitigation packet and pressed the prosecutor for leniency. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 262nd DC

Allegations

Officers stopped the vehicle for an equipment issue and arrested our client for felony DWI. He had been lying in the back seat while another person drove, but an officer claimed they swapped seats after hearing a popping sound. We pulled the dash and body cam, which showed dark rear tint, the windows ordered down, and a timeline that made any swap implausible. There was no footage of him climbing forward, and documented back injuries explained his performance on roadside tests. Faced with these problems and our readiness for trial, the state reduced the case to a misdemeanor with credit for time served.

Charge

Aggravated Criminal Trespass

Location

Davidson County, Birch Bldg, Court Room 5C

Allegations

Our client was arrested on an aggravated criminal trespass charge following an incident on private property. We secured the state’s file and dissected the arrest report line by line. We challenged whether the facts established knowing trespass and adequate notice, and made clear we were prepared to litigate those issues. After continued pressure in negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute at a residence and arrested our client for family-violence assault based on the complainant’s initial statement and claimed bruising on her arms. The client maintained the contact was accidental when he stumbled and denied any intent to harm. We jumped in early, filed our appearance and discovery requests, and moved to address restrictive bond conditions. We also opened dialogue with the complainant, who later told authorities she did not wish to pursue the case. After we presented these developments to the prosecutor, the state dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a two vehicle collision, our client called police to report the accident. At the scene the other driver admitted fault, yet officers focused on alleged intoxication. The client acknowledged drinking earlier and having a prescription medication, completed field tests, and was taken for a hospital blood draw. We scrutinized how the sample was collected and routed to the lab and the reliability of the roadside tests. Leveraging those issues and the fault dispute, we secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI based on field tests done minutes after the impact. She had suffered a panic attack, briefly fainted, and EMS documented blood pressure around 70 over 50. She voluntarily provided a blood sample and explained she had taken prescribed medication earlier, not alcohol. We compiled the EMS records and other supporting materials to show the tests were administered while she was unsteady from a medical episode. Confronted with that evidence and the weak impairment proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

The client was picked up on a probation warrant after multiple failed drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees while on deferred adjudication for felonies. Our team got in early, obtained the file, and opened direct talks with probation and the prosecutor to head off a contested revocation hearing. We highlighted the absence of new charges and a plan for employment and treatment. The State agreed to withdraw the revocation, impose a short county-jail sanction and add conditions with a limited extension. The client remained on deferred probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client was picked up on a warrant and transferred back to the supervising county after multiple failed drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees were alleged. There were no new criminal charges. We got in immediately, met with the client and the supervision team, and presented mitigation showing a plan for treatment and compliance. We pressed negotiations with the prosecution to avoid an adjudication hearing. The State agreed to withdraw the revocation, continue deferred probation, impose a short jail sanction, extend the term, and require completion of an outpatient program and fees.
