Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Travis County, 299th District Court

Allegations

The state filed a motion to revoke our client's misdemeanor probation, alleging violations of supervision terms. A warrant was issued. We obtained the revocation packet, compared each allegation to the actual conditions, and identified gaps and inconsistencies in the proof. We gathered records reflecting recent compliance and corrective steps. After presenting those materials and pressing the evidentiary problems with the prosecutor and probation, the state agreed to withdraw the motion and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

A domestic argument after drinking brought police to a residence. Both were detained, but our client alone was held after an offense report claimed hitting and pain. We pushed for body camera footage and 911 audio and obtained a later account from the complainant that disputed key parts of the report and clarified the sequence of events. We compiled those discrepancies and challenged the identification of a primary aggressor and proof of bodily injury. Faced with those evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After an argument in a vehicle following a night out, the client struck a car window, cutting his hand. The complainant called for medical help, officers arrived, and an arrest for family violence followed even though she reported no injuries. We obtained EMS and police records confirming the injuries were self-inflicted and that the complainant did not describe bodily injury. We also documented her lack of interest in prosecuting and the client's voluntary enrollment in counseling. We pressed the DA on the absence of an essential element and credibility issues. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The case began after a nighttime crash brought officers to the scene. The client, who had a prior DWI, performed field tests, declined a breath test, and a blood sample was later taken. We obtained the videos and lab records, documented the client’s proactive steps, including completing a DWI course, attending meetings, and strict interlock compliance, and prepared to contest the state’s proof while negotiating. Leveraging those mitigations and our readiness to litigate, we secured straight probation with no additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Our client was found asleep in a parked vehicle with the engine running after a long workday. He acknowledged having a few drinks, then officers ran him through field sobriety tests twice. He believed he passed, and the breath machine produced multiple failed attempts. We gathered the video and reports, challenged the reliability of the testing and the fact the encounter began with a parked car rather than observed driving, and pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense.

Charge

Theft (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 26th Judicial District Court

Allegations

During a home renovation dispute, the client was accused of taking a deposit without completing the job. We gathered contracts, messages, and payment records showing most of the work was performed and that a substantial portion of funds went directly to independent contractors, not the client. We addressed a missed court setting, got the warrant recalled, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor. The complaining party's representative confirmed they did not want to pursue the case. Framing the matter as a civil contract issue, not theft, we secured a full dismissal.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Garland Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a Class C family violence citation after a domestic dispute over a personal item. The complainant alleged a scratch, but officers noted no visible injury and relied mainly on her statement. We got involved immediately, sent our representation, and pulled the 911 audio, bodycam, and reports. The client provided text messages from the complainant undermining the accusation and intent. We set the matter for trial and challenged the sufficiency of the evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Racing on Highway

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for high speed, our client was accused of racing another car on a multi-lane road. The other driver repeatedly passed, merged in front, then slowed, and our client changed lanes and continued driving before both vehicles were stopped by police. He expected a speeding citation, but was arrested for racing. We scrutinized the officers' reports and pressed the state on proof of any agreement or coordinated race. With no credible evidence beyond parallel speeding and a disputed interpretation of events, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Late at night, the client dozed off at a traffic light and was arrested for a second DWI. They reported only a couple of beers after a long workday with little sleep, and declined a breath test. Marijuana was in the vehicle, but no separate charge followed. We obtained the discovery, emphasized the role of fatigue, and highlighted the absence of a breath result while pressing weaknesses in the observations. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to a plea placing the client on probation.

Charge

Fleeing a Police Officer

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Police accused the client of fleeing after an attempted traffic stop near a residence. The client maintained that no emergency lights or siren were activated. We obtained home security video showing the patrol vehicle trailing without lights moments after the client passed, then pressed for dash and bodycam and compared them to the report. The inconsistencies undercut the allegation that the client knowingly evaded. Using that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation with reduced financial terms, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a parking lot, not during a traffic stop. Field sobriety tests were conducted despite medical limitations, and the client initially refused a blood draw before officers obtained a sample several hours later. We emphasized the lack of observed driving, the delayed blood evidence, and issues visible on the testing video. After sustained negotiations built around those weaknesses and the client’s circumstances, the case was resolved with a term of probation.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was charged after a minor two vehicle collision where officers alleged they left before exchanging information. We moved quickly to collect the crash report, insurance confirmations, and repair estimates showing the other driver's damage was covered. Our team verified there were no injuries and arranged restitution for any out of pocket deductible. We delivered the documentation to the prosecutor and pressed for a noncriminal resolution. With the civil loss made whole, the prosecution dismissed the case.
