Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Denton County, 362nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

Officers encountered the vehicle on the roadside with a flat tire and noted an odor of alcohol. The driver declined field sobriety tests, and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw. We secured the dash and body cam footage, examined the advisements given, and combed through the blood collection and lab paperwork for procedural issues. We also presented mitigation, including the long gap since prior incidents and a structured treatment plan. Leveraging these points, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC2

Allegations

Police responded to a two-vehicle collision where our client was accused of rear-ending another car. Officers investigated impairment and a blood sample was taken. With a prior DWI on record, the stakes were high. We obtained the crash report and lab records, addressed interlock compliance issues, and presented mitigating facts about the client's work obligations and the passage of time since the earlier case. After persistent negotiations, the client accepted straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, the client was arrested for a second DWI. Video showed the officer relocating the scene to perform field sobriety tests, then calling a supervisor and wavering about whether there was probable cause before deciding to arrest. We obtained the recordings, dissected the HGN and other testing, and drafted a motion to suppress based on the shaky probable cause and testing irregularities. Confronted with these issues and our readiness to litigate, the state reduced the case to a first-offense DWI with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

After a first-offense DWI arrest, our client sought help to minimize the impact on their record and daily life. We obtained the case materials, evaluated the evidence, and compiled mitigation demonstrating accountability and steps taken after the arrest. We engaged the prosecutor and advocated for a community-based outcome. Through sustained negotiations, we secured a straight probation resolution. The client accepted probation and continued with daily responsibilities under supervised terms.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Travis County, 167th District Court

Allegations

After a rear-end collision, the client panicked and drove on briefly, then pulled over and waited. The other driver followed, emergency services were called immediately, and a passenger with minor injuries was transported for treatment. Despite this, a felony failure to stop and render aid charge was filed. We documented the quick stop, full cooperation at the scene, and the fact that aid was secured without delay, undercutting any claim of intent to evade responsibility. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant, the client was stopped by police and asked to perform field sobriety tests. There was no roadside breath test. A hospital blood draw was taken under a warrant and later reported a result over .15. We obtained the discovery, examined the affidavit for the blood warrant, the administration of the roadside tests, and the chain of custody and timing of the hospital sample, and pressed the state on reliability. Following negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was asked to leave a local gym after an allegation of indecent exposure, and detectives began calling and later visited the residence. Before any interview occurred, we got involved and became the point of contact. We prepared the client, gathered context about the incident, and challenged the accusation during discussions with the investigator. With no statement from our client and after our communications with law enforcement and the prosecutor, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Frisco Municipal Court

Allegations

A domestic argument at a home led to a 911 call and a Class C family violence charge after police took statements from several family members. The allegation was that our client pushed a household member and made offensive contact. We investigated the reports and gathered context showing the episode occurred during a mental health crisis, after which the client began treatment and stabilized. The complaining witness conveyed their aim was help, not punishment. We presented this to the prosecutor and challenged the case. The charge was dismissed.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a minor rear-end collision. When the other driver began shouting, our client had a panic reaction and left the area, leaving the vehicle behind. No injuries were reported. We moved quickly to gather the tow and dispatch records, document the client's anxiety history, and reconstruct the timeline showing immediate efforts to secure the car. We presented this context and the absence of injury to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

While driving for a delivery app at night, the client felt the car roll over an object in the road. Because traffic was heavy, they pulled over farther down to inspect the car and found no damage or blood. Passing back by later, they saw police activity in the area and worried they might be accused of leaving the scene. We were retained during the investigation, compiled the facts and monitored the case. With no evidence tying the vehicle to a collision, the matter was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after an argument at a home. Our review showed the complainant had swung a household item, the client acted to block and calm the situation, and a family witness supported that account. We documented language issues and inconsistencies in the initial report, raised self‑defense, and secured an affidavit of non‑prosecution. The client completed recommended classes and we submitted character letters and certificates. With that record in hand, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Appear

Location

Collin County, None

Allegations

A missed appearance on a municipal citation in Collin County resulted in a warrant and a separate failure to appear charge. We stepped in, contacted the court immediately, and arranged to recall the warrant and place the case back on the docket. We compiled records reflecting the client's ongoing mental health treatment and other mitigating circumstances. After negotiations and confirming the client's compliance moving forward, the prosecution dismissed the case.
