Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Brazoria County, 461st DC

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested after a traffic stop in another county for an alleged occupational driver’s license violation. Our team obtained the signed license order, driving log, and insurance documents, and compiled proof of full compliance with fees, classes, and testing. We pressed the probation office and prosecutors with that record and explained the travel was for essential obligations, not new criminal conduct. The State agreed and dismissed the motion to revoke, keeping the client on probation.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Atascosa County, Jourdanton Municipal Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a minor speeding violation, officers claimed to smell marijuana and searched the vehicle, locating a small pipe and other paraphernalia. Our client received a paraphernalia charge in municipal court. We obtained the reports and scrutinized the basis for the search and the connection of the items to our client, highlighting gaps in the evidence. We also presented mitigation and kept communication focused on a noncriminal resolution. The case was resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 221st DC

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a tense encounter at a fuel stop where another driver stared and held an unknown object. The client, who lawfully possessed a handgun, briefly displayed it upward to signal he was armed, never pointing it or making threats. Weeks later, officers served an arrest warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We moved quickly, monitored the filing, obtained discovery, and focused on the absence of pointing, injury, or contact and the clean history. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

After a single-vehicle incident, officers arrested our client for felony DWI based on observations at the scene. She asked for a roadside breath test, none was given, and the later blood test showed no alcohol. The lab reported only prescribed benzodiazepines consistent with long term treatment. We gathered pharmacy and medical records, explained tolerance, and pressed the state on the intoxication element. After sustained negotiations, the felony DWI was reduced to a misdemeanor, keeping a felony off her record.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Collin County

Allegations

After a minor crash, an officer ran a records check and saw our client listed as not eligible to drive, resulting in a suspended license case. We obtained the state driving history and confirmed the prior suspension had already ended before the incident, with only an administrative reinstatement step outstanding. The client promptly completed reinstatement. We compiled the eligibility printout and payment proof, presented it to the prosecutor, and pressed the weaknesses in the allegation. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, our client was hit with a motion to revoke after new allegations surfaced. We got involved immediately, cleared up the warrant and bond confusion, and coordinated a safe surrender to avoid unnecessary jail time. After obtaining the revocation packet, we showed the alleged violations stemmed from unproven new cases and that the client had been reporting and taking concrete steps toward compliance. We compiled proof of self surrender, appointments, and a support plan, and pressed these points with the prosecutor and court. The State dismissed the motion and the case was closed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence where he had been invited to stay. Reports show a third party arrived and displayed a firearm, a scuffle followed, and officers later claimed the complainant felt pain. We reviewed bodycam and statements and charted contradictions between the complainant, the third party, and the affidavit. We also documented permission to be there and that the complainant did not wish to proceed. With reluctant witnesses and credibility issues, the State dismissed.

Charge

Theft - Felony

Location

Comal County, 207th District Court

Allegations

An older felony theft case alleged the client took another person's payment card. Once we were retained, we obtained the discovery, compared the narratives in the reports, and compiled extensive medical records documenting ongoing surgeries and treatment needs. We presented a detailed mitigation package and pushed for a resolution that preserved access to care and avoided incarceration. The state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record while they complete probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Probation officers reported the client missed a required court setting, and a motion to revoke felony probation was filed. Our team obtained the probation file, violation report, and jail records to reconstruct what actually happened. We uncovered timing and notice problems with the alleged noncompliance and showed the state they could not prove a willful violation. After targeted negotiations and making clear we were ready to litigate, the prosecutor agreed to withdraw the motion, and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Travis County, 331st District Court

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when a warrant issued after an alleged missed probation check-in. We obtained the probation file, call logs, and scheduling notes, showing the client had asked to reschedule and that the lapse was not a willful violation. We compiled mitigating records to document treatment and ongoing efforts to comply. After presenting these materials and pressing the weaknesses in the allegation, the prosecution dismissed the revocation proceeding, keeping the client on probation and avoiding jail.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Harris County, CCCL14

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after a self‑checkout incident and police filed a misdemeanor theft charge. The accusation was price manipulation using discounted produce bags and incorrect barcodes, while the client maintained everything was paid and any mix up was unintentional. We demanded full discovery, obtained surveillance and register data, and compared it to the reports. The records did not clearly show intent and the loss figures varied. We prepared suppression and impeachment arguments, pressed those issues, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the State filed a motion to revoke after a new arrest and alleged technical violations. We secured the probation file and offense reports, then dissected each claimed breach against the conditions and available evidence. Our team pressed the prosecutor on proof issues and set the matter for a contested setting to force a hearing. After continued negotiations and our challenges to the allegations, the State dismissed the motion. The client avoided revocation and the case was closed.
