Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Police stopped our client for alleged erratic driving and arrested them for DWI. They admitted to drinking, attempted roadside tests despite an old Achilles injury and knee issues, and later gave a breath sample over .15. We dug into the videos and reports, highlighting how those medical limitations affected balance and pressing the state on missing roadside body-cam. The client completed alcohol education up front. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument that began when a ride home from a bar turned confrontational. At the residence, an object was thrown, injuring the complainant’s hand. We moved quickly to document the client’s clean history, coordinated an affidavit of nonprosecution from the complainant, and compiled proof of immediate engagement in counseling, classes, and support meetings. We presented this mitigation to the prosecution and pressed for a nontrial resolution. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a misdemeanor DWI when a motion to revoke was filed alleging travel outside the county, missed portable breath tests, and a diluted or positive alcohol screen. A warrant issued. We stepped in, coordinated with probation and the prosecutor, and arranged a controlled court appearance to avoid a jail booking. We negotiated a short probation extension with strict testing and documented compliance. After the client completed those terms, the state withdrew the allegations and the motion was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

A late-night stop for driving without headlights led to a DWI arrest. The officer noted an open container and red, glassy eyes, and the client admitted to a few drinks. He completed field sobriety tests, the breath test attempt failed, and police obtained a blood warrant. We pulled the video, reports, and lab records, scrutinizing the shift from breath to blood and the way testing was conducted. Emphasizing no crash and full cooperation, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a night of heavy drinking, a domestic argument escalated and a 911 call brought police. Our client was arrested and a strict no contact condition was imposed. We moved quickly, documented the complainant’s wish not to prosecute, and compiled supporting materials showing mutual intoxication, no documented injuries to the complainant, and no independent witnesses or usable video. We presented these weaknesses to the prosecution and stood ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

Our client was accused of scratching the paint on a vehicle outside a bar belonging to someone they had past conflict with. The complainant did not witness the act, and identification appeared to rely on assumptions or possible cameras. We pressed for all evidence tying our client to the damage and demanded documentation supporting the claimed repair or depreciation amounts. With no prior record and a willingness to make restitution, we leveraged the proof gaps to negotiate a reduction to a misdemeanor with probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention in a Motor Vehicle

Location

Dallas County, CDC7

Allegations

Officers attempted a traffic stop, and our client, worried about an old ticket warrant, kept driving and was later involved in a minor crash. He was charged with felony evading in a vehicle. We obtained the police reports and crash documentation and broke down the timeline of the attempted stop. The record left real doubt about whether he intentionally fled rather than simply panicked, and key details in the officers' accounts did not line up. We presented those problems to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

Following a night out, an argument at a home escalated. The other party lifted the client during the dispute, the client fell, and in fear threw several glass bottles, one causing a minor cut. Officers documented the scene and arrested the client for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We gathered statements, noted the complainant’s reluctance to pursue charges, and emphasized self defense concerns and the lack of serious injury. After we presented these issues, the case was no billed by a grand jury and the state dismissed it.

Charge

Accident Involving Injury

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a minor bump in a drive‑thru, the other driver alleged injury and police opened an investigation. Even though the client immediately reported the incident to insurance, officers obtained a warrant, seized the truck, and placed it on an evidence hold. We engaged early, repeatedly contacting the investigator and supplying the claim file and proof of prompt reporting and cooperation. After our submissions and continued pressure for review, prosecutors declined to file charges. The vehicle was released and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

After a traffic collision, our client was taken to a hospital where a blood draw later reported over .15. The client recalled only a couple of drinks and had a concussion with little memory of the event. We demanded full discovery, located the missing officer video, and pulled the lab’s underlying records. We showed that behavior on camera aligned with crash trauma and raised reliability concerns about the blood testing. With that leverage, the state agreed to a resolution of straight probation.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Police accused our client of reckless driving after a serious crash that left another vehicle on its side. The client was transported to a hospital and later reported a significant head injury with memory gaps around the event. We demanded full discovery, including the officer’s video, and scrutinized the reports to separate accident trauma from any proof of reckless operation. We emphasized a plausible medical episode and the lack of clear evidence of willful disregard for safety. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bell County, CC2

Allegations

Officers were called to a domestic dispute after an argument at a residence escalated. The complainant alleged our client struck them, and the report noted suspected intoxication, while our client consistently denied any physical contact. We obtained and dissected the offense materials, lining up the complainant’s initial statement against later accounts and flagging contradictions. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. With a reluctant witness and credibility problems, the state dismissed the case.
