Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 11

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance and arrested our client for assault. The argument was verbal, and the complainant suffered a seizure, fell, and was revived with a nasal rescue medication while 911 was contacted. We quickly had restrictive conditions amended so the family could reunite. We submitted the complainant’s affidavit of non-prosecution and a sworn statement describing the medical episode and denying an assault. After we pressed those issues with the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After leaving a residence following an argument, the client had drinks and was later stopped for rolling past the stop line, with an officer also claiming a curb strike. The client provided two breath samples around .26. We obtained patrol videos, noted the arresting officer was being coached during field tests, and raised concerns about missing media from the client’s dashcam and the vehicle inventory. Leveraging these credibility and procedure issues, we pressed negotiations and the charge was reduced, resulting in straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash with the client’s car totaled and no other vehicles involved. The client reported no significant injuries, declined EMS transport, performed field sobriety tests, and was then taken to a hospital for a consensual blood draw. Officers noted an open container, and the client acknowledged drinking. We obtained the reports and video, challenged how the tests were conducted after a collision, and closely reviewed the consent advisement and blood handling. We leveraged those concerns in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and accepted a plea with credit for time already served.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, 428th District Court

Allegations

The client was on a long-running felony probation from an old case when a revocation was suddenly filed and a warrant issued after years of silence. Believing supervision had ended and having received conflicting notices, the client retained us to clarify the record. We gathered the full probation history, verified completed programs and payments, and secured a current status report from supervision. Using those records and the timeline gaps, we pressed the prosecution to narrow the allegations. The State agreed to reduce the case and accept time served, terminating probation that day.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police alleged our client damaged property at a private residence by breaking exterior windows and spray painting a wall. We obtained the reports and discovery, then scrutinized how the identification was made and what proof existed for each incident and the repair costs. There was no reliable video or eyewitness placing the client at the scene on the charged dates, and the documentation on damage and valuation was thin. We set the case for trial and pressed the State on those proof problems. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police found the client stopped at a light and conducted roadside sobriety tests in a nearby lot, then arrested and obtained a consensual blood draw at the jail. We pulled the videos and reports and focused on how the tests were administered and on medical issues with the client’s knee and back that affect balance. We emphasized immediate compliance with bond conditions, including installing an interlock, and negotiated with the prosecutor. The case resolved with a probationary sentence.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

The client was stopped for a traffic violation and, after roadside contact, was arrested. During the post-arrest interaction, the deputy noticed a handgun stored in the vehicle’s door pocket and added an unlawful carrying charge. We obtained the body-cam, dash video, and reports to map the timeline from the stop to the seizure of the firearm, and challenged whether the facts met the elements of UCW given the gun’s location and how it was discovered. After we presented these issues and signaled we were ready to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Harris County, 183rd DC

Allegations

Police sought our client on a Texas warrant alleging sexual assault after a social event. We engaged immediately, monitored his transfer, addressed bond and travel restrictions, and pulled the full case file, including exam reports, interviews, and recordings. Our investigation uncovered major inconsistencies in the complainant’s accounts. We also preserved an audio recording from that night reflecting consensual contact. We presented these credibility problems to the prosecution during grand jury review, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Waller County, None

Allegations

After a 911 caller reported reckless driving, officers found our client already parked and standing outside the vehicle. No officer saw any driving, and the client declined field sobriety testing and breath. Hours later a blood draw was done under a warrant at the jail, where the nurse hesitated and noted lacking proper sterilization supplies while drawing an incomplete set of vials. We demanded preservation of video, dissected the reports, and prepared to suppress the blood and any driving proof. Confronted with these defects, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

The case began after our client replied to an online ad and exchanged texts about a paid sexual act before going to a hotel, where officers detained him in a sting. He had no prior record and declined to give a statement. We secured the full text thread, police report and body cam, and analyzed how the conversation developed and what actually happened at the door. We built a mitigation package highlighting background and collateral job consequences and had the client start appropriate classes. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a conviction if completed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 9th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a dispute with a dating partner outside her workplace. She told officers he grabbed her arm and that a gun might be present, while he made statements about self harm. We obtained body camera and nearby video, and reviewed her statement noting he had never threatened her with the gun. We emphasized that no evidence showed brandishing or an intent to harm her, only himself. After sustained negotiations focused on accountability and treatment, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

An online post led our client to arrange a hotel meet for sexual services, but the contact was an undercover officer. After a brief exchange and payment, officers entered as part of a sting and arrested multiple individuals. The client had no prior history. We stepped in early, demanded the full set of messages and reports, and positioned the case with proactive mitigation, including decision-making courses and character letters. Combined with persistent negotiations, that work secured deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction.
