Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

After a single-vehicle rollover, officers claimed our client showed signs of intoxication and had them perform field sobriety tests despite the client reporting significant back pain. At the hospital, police obtained a blood draw after medication was administered and later alleged an open container was found in the wrecked vehicle. We secured body-cam video and medical records showing serious spinal injuries and zero alcohol. We challenged the claimed odor, the validity of the field tests, and the timing and reliability of toxicology. We also noted the container likely shifted during the rollover. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bell County, Killeen Municipal Court

Allegations

A verbal dispute at a residence escalated when the client tossed a reusable water bottle that made minimal contact with a family member, who then called police. Officers arrested the client for Class C assault by contact, and there was purported cell phone video of the toss. Our team got involved early, requested discovery, highlighted the lack of injury, and compiled mitigation including proof of ongoing counseling. The complaining witness indicated no interest in prosecution. We presented this to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a prior DWI when the state filed a motion to revoke based on alleged noncompliance while the client was held in another jurisdiction. We gathered documentation proving continuous custody and pressed for full jail credit. Our team coordinated with the prosecutor and the court to seek a summons instead of a transport order and negotiated to narrow the alleged violations. At the hearing, the motion was reduced and the client received a sentence of time served. We also secured removal of the ignition interlock device.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

After swerving to avoid another vehicle, the client collided with a barrier and another car. Officers arrived well after the crash and began a DWI investigation. The client declined roadside tests, and a blood sample was later taken by warrant long after the driving. We pushed for full discovery and learned the state could not produce the core offense report and key materials, despite repeated requests. We highlighted the timeline problems with the blood draw and the discovery failures. Facing those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, the complainant alleged our client threatened them and claimed he spat on them. Deputies issued a Class C citation for assault by threat, and no physical injury was reported. We reviewed the incident reports and gathered subsequent communications showing the complainant did not wish to prosecute. We highlighted inconsistencies in the accounts and the lack of corroborating evidence, making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

The client hit a parked, unoccupied car after briefly looking at a phone, panicked, and left without leaving information. Police contacted them the next morning and impounded the vehicle while investigating, and the client initially gave incorrect driver details. We got involved immediately, routed all contact through counsel, and engaged both the investigator and the vehicle owner. We arranged restitution and coordinated a controlled meeting so any statement was carefully managed. With the loss addressed and no further action pursued, the investigation was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Police approached our client while dealing with a flat tire and initiated a DWI investigation. The client agreed to a blood draw at a hospital, which later came back at 0.00 for alcohol. Despite that result, the officer pursued a drug screen that dragged on for months without clarity. We secured the lab documentation, pressed for full discovery, and highlighted the weak indicators of impairment given the mechanical issue and how the roadside evaluation was handled. Meanwhile we monitored for any warrant activity and kept pressure on the reviewing attorney to make a charging decision. With no reliable evidence of intoxication, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Denton County, None

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash with a minor passenger, our client was charged with DWI with child. Hospital testing showed no alcohol and no opiates, only a prescribed anti nausea medication. We gathered medical records, timelines, and toxicology, and documented a seizure disorder that better explained the loss of consciousness. We delivered a comprehensive packet to the prosecutor and pushed for pre indictment review. The matter was submitted to a grand jury, which returned a no bill. The charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC6

Allegations

After a single-car crash, our client was taken to a hospital, where officers reported an admission to driving and obtained a blood sample around 0.11. The state leaned on an off-duty witness and physical indicators like airbag deployment to place the client in the driver’s seat. We obtained the police and medical records and highlighted contradictions about where the client was seated and the context of any statements made while injured. We challenged the reliability of the key evidence and pressed the case. The prosecution dismissed the matter.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

Stopped for a broken brake light, our client declined field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. At the station, two breath samples registered .093 and .089. We obtained the dashcam and station video and emphasized that this was an equipment stop, with no roadside tests to show impairment. We also pulled the breath-testing records and pressed the state on proof of compliance and reliability at the time of testing. With limited impairment evidence and our challenges to the breath results, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat (Felony)

Location

Coryell County, 52nd District Court

Allegations

A heated argument at a residence led to a complaint that our client made a serious threat, and a warrant was pursued. We got involved right away, coordinated a controlled surrender to avoid an unnecessary arrest, and obtained the timeline from texts and call records. The narrative in the report did not line up with the digital evidence we compiled. We presented those conflicts to the prosecutor and made clear the state would struggle to prove the allegation at trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felon in Possession of a Firearm (Investigation)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

Law enforcement agents executed a search at a family residence where our client was staying and seized multiple firearms that were owned by relatives. No arrest followed, and the electronics taken during the search were later returned. We were retained during the investigation, collected the warrant cover sheet and the itemized property list, and documented statements from household members about ownership and storage. We made clear that mere access did not establish control or possession. Authorities closed the matter and it was dismissed.
