Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, CC3

Allegations

While on misdemeanor deferred probation, the client faced a motion to revoke after a later DWI arrest in another county. He had otherwise followed all terms, and he ultimately completed that other case successfully. We gathered probation records, certificates, and court documents to show full compliance and resolution of the new case, and prepared for a contested hearing. We emphasized that an arrest alone, now resolved, did not justify revocation. The prosecutor dismissed the motion, preventing a conviction.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was accused of indecent assault after a brief encounter in a workplace restroom. The account was disputed, and there had been a pattern of mutual flirting and joking beforehand. We gathered digital communications that showed a different context, obtained surveillance video capturing the moments before and after the encounter, and charted significant inconsistencies between the complainant’s statements. After presenting these credibility problems and signaling we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court No. 5-F

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding on a motorcycle, the client was arrested for a third DWI. Officers noted an alcohol odor, but a burst six pack in the luggage explained the smell. Field tests were limited because of documented balance and eye movement issues, and a blood draw was taken. We compiled medical records, the police reports, and ignition interlock records from the client’s primary vehicle showing a clean sample shortly before the stop. Using that evidence, we challenged impairment and negotiated straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer claimed a swerve and noted an open container in the vehicle. Field sobriety tests were administered multiple times, despite the client's vertigo and other medical issues. The client consented to a breath test that returned inconsistent numbers, with a later reading near 0.12. We reviewed video, challenged the reliability of the tests, and emphasized the medical factors. The prosecution agreed to resolve the case with deferred probation.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Brazoria County, Surfside Municipal Court

Allegations

The client received a citation for minor in possession of alcohol during a patrol contact. There was no arrest, only a summons to court. We obtained discovery, examined the officer's narrative and the basis for the possession allegation, and identified leverage in the evidentiary weaknesses. We engaged the prosecutor early and pushed for a proportional outcome that minimized long-term impact. The case was resolved with deferred probation, positioning the client to pursue record clearance after completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

Stopped for swerving, our client admitted to drinking, attempted the field sobriety tests, and then consented to a breath sample. Yet the license paperwork listed the case as a refusal, creating a mismatch with the officer's reports. We collected the records, documented the discrepancy, and addressed weaknesses in the observations that led to the arrest. Using that leverage in negotiations, we steered the case away from a permanent conviction. The matter concluded with deferred probation.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #8

Allegations

Loss prevention detained our client after a shoplifting accusation, reported a brief struggle, and the client left before officers arrived. We engaged early, obtained the incident reports, and clarified what actually happened during the attempted detention. Our focus was keeping the case on the underlying misdemeanor theft and addressing concerns raised by the confrontation. We opened negotiations, emphasized accountability and cooperation, and pressed for a non-conviction resolution. The prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record while they complete the terms.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Milam County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic disturbance after relatives reported the client was intoxicated and throwing furniture inside a residence. The client was arrested for family violence based on statements taken at the scene. Our team engaged early, confirmed there were no prior incidents, and maintained respectful communication with the complaining witness. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor with context about the episode. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, D485

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding and arrested for felony DWI after the officer noted an alcohol odor and obtained a blood-draw warrant. He attempted field sobriety tests but disclosed extensive back surgeries with hardware that impair balance. We pulled the video, documented his medical limitations, and challenged the reliability of those tests for him. We also scrutinized the blood process and presented mitigation, including interlock compliance and a commitment to start AA. The case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

The client was stopped for swerving during a traffic encounter, and officers reported finding a handgun in the vehicle. An unlawful carrying charge followed based on that discovery. We obtained the police reports and video, dissected the basis for the stop, and scrutinized the sequence that led to the firearm being located. We flagged inconsistencies in the officer's account and challenged the legal basis for the search and the required elements. After firm negotiations and signaling a suppression fight, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Milam County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a disturbance at a residence, and our client was arrested after officers forced him to the ground during the encounter. He was highly intoxicated and remembered little. We obtained the police reports and parsed the arrest timeline, focusing on whether the state could prove he intentionally resisted given his condition and the chaotic scene. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.
