Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A traffic stop in a downtown area led to an arrest after the client performed field sobriety tests and acknowledged recent drinking. A breath test registered at 0.08, and the client had no prior record. We gathered the reports and pressed the borderline reading and clean history in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to a dismissal path conditioned on completing a course and community service. We tracked progress to ensure everything was finished before the discharge date. After completion, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Theft of a Firearm

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

Police alleged our client took a pistol from a parked vehicle during a residential job. Video and reports tied the client to the vehicle, yet officers did not locate the gun during their search. It was later recovered by the complainant after being let into the home, a sequence that raised evidentiary and recovery-chain questions. We dissected the timeline and recorded calls, pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor, and presented mitigation showing treatment compliance and steady work. The state reduced the case and the court ordered time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

Our client was arrested for a first-offense DWI after declining a breath test, and officers obtained a blood sample instead. We secured the police reports, video, and lab documentation and closely reviewed how the sample was collected and handled. At the same time, the client entered alcohol treatment and counseling, showing genuine remorse and a commitment to change. We compiled those efforts into a mitigation package for the prosecutor. The case resolved with straight probation, avoiding jail and allowing the client to move forward under supervision.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

A traffic dust-up led the client to briefly step out to check for a possible minor collision, then park nearby. An officer confronted them, pulled the client from the car, arrested them, and searched the vehicle, finding plant material in a passenger’s bag. The client is enrolled in the state compassionate use program. We gathered records, compared narratives, and challenged the legal basis for the arrest and subsequent search. We also highlighted irregularities in the officer’s paperwork and presented the client’s medical authorization. The prosecution agreed to dismiss the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

While driving to work, the client clipped the rear corner of another vehicle and, panicking and running late, left without exchanging information, believing the other driver might have continued on. He later accepted liability and his insurer covered the property damage. We gathered proof of restitution and his clean record, then presented that context to the prosecutor. After sustained negotiations emphasizing the minor nature of the impact and his cooperation, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Vehicle

Location

Bell County, 264th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Officers initiated a stop in a congested construction area and accused our client of evading in a vehicle. He explained he only accelerated briefly to clear a turn, then slowed and stopped as police moved in with guns drawn. He was arrested and a blood draw was taken after officers treated it as a refusal, while he struggled with hypertension and asked to calm down. We dissected the reports and timeline, stressing the congestion, his quick compliance, and no intent to flee. The case was resolved for deferred probation on the felony.

Charge

Stopping, Standing, or Parking on Main Traveled Way (Class C)

Location

Tarrant County, Arlington Municipal Court

Allegations

This case began with a traffic mix up near a crowded venue. After another driver repeatedly honked, the client briefly stopped, stepped out to check for damage, then pulled into a nearby lot where an officer made contact and issued a citation for stopping in a travel lane. We compiled the paperwork, clarified that there was no collision, and pressed for a non‑conviction outcome. The prosecutor agreed to a short deferral period with a nominal assessment. The client received deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC7

Allegations

A traffic stop for a registration issue led officers to question our client about alcohol, give roadside tests, and make an arrest. The breath test registered over 0.15. We obtained the dash and body cam footage and the breath records, closely reviewing the field test instructions and the machine’s maintenance. With a prior DWI and a suspended license, the stakes were high. We built mitigation, secured prompt interlock compliance, and documented steps toward lawful driving. Leveraging that and our evidence review, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding jail while the client completed supervision.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court // cc2

Allegations

Stopped after maneuvering around a road hazard, our client was accused of weaving with a child secured in the back seat. They admitted drinking earlier, completed roadside tests, and later gave a breath sample at the station. Our review found two inconsistent breath results and no video of the actual test. We demanded dashcam and bodycam footage, breath test maintenance records, and challenged the basis for the stop. Confronted with those evidentiary gaps, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case from a felony to a misdemeanor and allow deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

Following a minor two‑vehicle collision with no reported injuries, officers conducted roadside sobriety tests and later obtained a blood draw that came back around 0.12. The client reported only one to two drinks. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the blood‑warrant packet, highlighting communication barriers on the stop, the lack of obvious impairment on video, and defects in the affidavit supporting the blood warrant. Although the state focused on the crash, our pressure in negotiations led to a resolution for deferred probation rather than a conviction.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Bandera County, 198TH DC

Allegations

Police linked our client to a late night entry into a private property after an earlier encounter, later finding miscellaneous items in the vehicle. The client had been off prescribed medication, was in crisis over a family matter, and had little memory of the events. We gathered treatment records, documented years of sobriety, and showed immediate willingness to pay restitution. We highlighted the lack of purposeful planning and the client's cooperation after contact. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

The State filed a motion to revoke our client's misdemeanor probation on an older case. We obtained the supervision file and timeline, scrutinized the allegations against the available records, and gathered documentation showing recent compliance. We presented those materials and highlighted problems with the State's proof in discussions with the prosecutor, making clear we were ready to litigate. The State dismissed the motion, and the case was closed.
