Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Police responded to a minor rear-end collision and arrested our client for DWI after noting slurred speech and inconsistent answers about where they were coming from. The report described poor performance on field sobriety tests, and a breath test registered just under .15. We secured discovery, requested breath-machine calibration records, and obtained officer materials. At the same time, we built a mitigation package with early classes and proof the property damage was addressed through insurance. Relying on the sub-.15 result, no injuries, and our mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Wilson County, County Court

Allegations

A tense family dispute at a residence over control of family property led to an arrest when relatives alleged minor injuries during a struggle over a phone. We obtained the bodycam video, 911 audio, and the complainants’ own recordings, then compared them to their written accounts. The materials showed pushing and filming by the complainants and significant inconsistencies about who initiated contact and who actually lived at the home. We presented those contradictions and the property context to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case for insufficient evidence.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor (Investigation)

Location

Wilson County

Allegations

The client contacted us during an active investigation for alleged sexual assault of a minor after detectives interviewed him and seized his phone. We immediately entered the case, notified investigators that all contact must go through counsel, and advised the client not to submit to a polygraph. Our team pressed the agency on the legal basis for holding the devices, sought clarity on any warrants, and highlighted credibility problems in the outcry, including conflicting allegations noted in a related CPS matter. With no corroboration beyond statements and sustained pressure, the investigation was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, \u200b437th District Court

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client learned a warrant had issued after alleged violations tied to a new arrest and missed conditions. We moved quickly to verify the timeline, obtain probation records, and collect proof of treatment, sobriety meetings, and steady employment. We set up a safe surrender with bond to keep them working, then met with the prosecutor to walk through a detailed mitigation plan and future compliance steps. Rather than revoke and impose jail, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication and continued supervision.

Charge

Theft (Aggregate $2,500 to $30,000) - State Jail Felony

Location

Harris County, 208th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of aggregate theft by a former bookkeeping client, who claimed funds were diverted over several months. When we were retained, the case was in warrant status after a missed setting tied to a child’s surgery and poor communication with prior counsel. We moved quickly to address the warrant, coordinated a safe appearance, and got the case back on the docket. Our team dissected bank records, messages, and valuation summaries, challenging weak entries and inflated totals. We negotiated a result centered on restitution and rehabilitation. The court granted deferred adjudication.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

The client was accused of resisting after officers tried to remove him from a seat during a late night encounter. The report claimed he tensed up and hesitated, but there were no allegations of striking, fleeing, or threats. We secured the bodycam and incident reports, built a precise timeline, and highlighted unclear commands and the lack of active force. We prepared to challenge whether the statute was met and pressed the issue in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the resisting charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Galveston County, 405th District Court

Allegations

Our client faced a felony motion to revoke probation after a misdemeanor allegation from an online sale dispute. We gathered probation records showing consistent reporting, clean tests, completed service, and all fees paid, and confirmed the supervising officer supported continued supervision. We obtained medical documentation of a recent mental health diagnosis. We stressed that the new case was unadjudicated and disputed, and the property was returned. After negotiations, the state dismissed the revocation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CC6

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, our client was arrested after the officer claimed to smell alcohol. The client acknowledged drinking earlier and politely declined field sobriety tests. No breath or blood test was taken. We obtained and reviewed the video, which showed steady speech and coherent responses, and we gathered medical documentation of balance issues to explain brief unsteadiness on exit. We emphasized the lack of poor driving beyond speeding and the absence of scientific proof. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client was accused of eluding when they continued past the lights to take the next exit. They turned on hazard lights, briefly tried the shoulder, then pulled into a lot where officers performed a high-risk stop. We obtained the police report, dashcam and body-cam video, which showed the hazards were on and the client was seeking a safe place to stop, not trying to flee. With no prior record and those facts, we challenged the state’s theory of intent and pushed back in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

Police encountered the client intoxicated in a parked vehicle, seated in the back seat and vomiting, and never observed any driving. He declined roadside testing, and officers later obtained a blood draw that the state said reflected a high BAC. We obtained the video and reports and pressed the gaps in proof of operation and the timing between any driving and the encounter. We reinforced our position with mitigation, including DWI education. Confronted with these issues, prosecutors dropped the enhancement, reduced the charge, and agreed to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

Police stopped our client after a reported traffic light violation. At the scene the officer escalated quickly, and when a breath test could not be administered, a blood sample was taken. We obtained the video, reports, and lab records, and worked up a mitigation plan, getting the client into AA, a repeat-offender DWI program, and a victim impact panel, along with character letters. We used that package in negotiations and pressed the State on the details of the stop and the testing. The felony was resolved with probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Brazoria County, 461st DC

Allegations

While on deferred adjudication for a felony drug case, the client faced a motion to revoke after a domestic dispute arrest triggered a warrant. We moved quickly, coordinated a controlled surrender and secured a bond to avoid a lengthy jail hold. Our team reviewed the misdemeanor case materials and obtained an affidavit of non-prosecution from the complainant. We also compiled proof of a strong compliance record, with fees paid and programs completed. With no independent basis to show a violation, the prosecution dismissed the motion to revoke.
