Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Speeding

Location

Killeen County, Killeen Municipal Court

Allegations

The client received a speeding citation after a routine traffic stop. We took over appearances in municipal court and managed the case timeline. Our team reviewed the citation and court records to evaluate the allegation and identify any leverage in negotiations. We pressed for a non-conviction outcome, emphasizing the client’s cooperation and willingness to resolve the matter responsibly. The prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon successful completion of the terms.

Charge

DWI - Class B

Location

Bell County, CC#2

Allegations

After a two car collision where another driver ran a light, officers investigated our client for DWI. Despite significant vehicle damage and reports of a head impact and a seizure condition, the officer required field sobriety tests, which the client struggled to perform before being transported for a hospital blood draw. We obtained the accident documentation and medical records to show how injuries and medical history undermined the roadside testing. We pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor, and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Travis County, DC403

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, our client was arrested for a felony DWI with prior DWIs. The client had recently been ill, was taking prescribed sedatives and cold medicine, and recalled little after the collision. They reported refusing chemical testing and could not remember any blood draw. We scrutinized the reports and challenged the reliability of the field sobriety evaluations in light of the medical factors and memory gaps, pressing the state on proof. Using that leverage and the client’s willingness to seek treatment, we secured a term of probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

Stopped at night for high beams, the officer reported an alcohol odor and an open container. The client performed roadside tests and consented to a blood draw that later came back over .15. We obtained and reviewed the videos, reports, and lab records, highlighting the limited driving issue and the client’s cooperation. The client completed a DWI class, a substance abuse evaluation, and a victim impact panel. Using that mitigation and our case work, we negotiated a reduced charge with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bell County, CC2

Allegations

After a serious crash where another driver ran a red light and T-boned our client, officers still treated it as a DWI. Despite airbag deployment and the client reporting a head injury and a seizure disorder, the officer insisted on roadside tests the client could not balance for, then sent them to the hospital for a blood draw. We secured the crash report, bodycam, and medical records, showing our client was the collision victim and that any balance issues were injury related. We challenged probable cause and the reliability of the field tests. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Illegal Dumping

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

During a home renovation, our client and others found their usual dumpster full and, late at night, left construction debris in a private commercial dumpster. Investigators traced the load to them through paperwork in the trash and surveillance, and the client provided a written statement. The next day they tried to retrieve the items for proper disposal. We documented those remedial steps, the client's clean history, and completion of an environmental compliance course. After presenting this mitigation, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Our client was accused after a heated exchange that someone reported as a terroristic threat. We obtained the police reports and evidence, scrutinized each statement, and charted a precise timeline. The accounts conflicted and the state could not show a specific, credible threat or intent. We set the case for contested hearings and trial, and pressed these weaknesses in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic incident and filed a family violence assault charge. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the state's evidence, and mapped out a litigation strategy, including setting the case for trial if needed. In negotiations, we emphasized the burden of proof and held the line on our client's rights. After the prosecutor conducted further review and we continued to advocate firmly, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, jp3

Allegations

After an arrest for public intoxication, our client was cited into a JP court. We immediately requested discovery, including body camera video, and pressed the State on whether the facts actually met the elements of the offense. The court initially offered deferred disposition, and later the prosecutor floated a dismissal if the client completed an alcohol awareness course. We declined to accept conditions, laid out our concerns with the evidence, and kept negotiating. The State agreed to dismiss the charge outright, ending the case with no conviction.

Charge

Theft (Felony)

Location

Bastrop County, 423rd District Court

Allegations

The client was flagged on a felony theft warrant while meeting with out of state authorities. Our team stepped in immediately, coordinated with officers, and pushed for a waiver to avoid unnecessary jail intake given serious medical needs. From day one the client maintained they had never been to the location tied to the accusation. We pressed the state for proof linking the client to the alleged property loss and challenged identification and venue. After sustained pressure and negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat - Causing Fear of Imminent Serious Bodily Injury

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

After a heated delivery dispute, the complaining witness came to our client's door with another person. The client, still inside her home, opened the door with a holstered firearm pointed downward and denied ever pointing it at anyone. Officers arrived later, so no officer witnessed the alleged threat. We engaged early, pressed for the phone-call recordings and any door camera video, and dissected the complainant’s statements against our client’s account. Confronted with credibility problems and thin corroboration, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Dallas County, Grand Prairie Municipal Court

Allegations

The client had an old public intoxication citation that surfaced in municipal court after it went into warrant status. We filed our appearance, obtained the file, and found the case was years old with thin discovery. We pressed the prosecutor on proof problems, including whether the elements of intoxication in a public place could be established, and demanded full discovery while preparing for trial. Faced with an aging case and evidentiary gaps, the state elected to dismiss. The client walked away with the charge gone.
