Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a two vehicle collision, our client called police to report the accident. At the scene the other driver admitted fault, yet officers focused on alleged intoxication. The client acknowledged drinking earlier and having a prescription medication, completed field tests, and was taken for a hospital blood draw. We scrutinized how the sample was collected and routed to the lab and the reliability of the roadside tests. Leveraging those issues and the fault dispute, we secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

The client was picked up on a probation warrant after multiple failed drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees while on deferred adjudication for felonies. Our team got in early, obtained the file, and opened direct talks with probation and the prosecutor to head off a contested revocation hearing. We highlighted the absence of new charges and a plan for employment and treatment. The State agreed to withdraw the revocation, impose a short county-jail sanction and add conditions with a limited extension. The client remained on deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI based on field tests done minutes after the impact. She had suffered a panic attack, briefly fainted, and EMS documented blood pressure around 70 over 50. She voluntarily provided a blood sample and explained she had taken prescribed medication earlier, not alcohol. We compiled the EMS records and other supporting materials to show the tests were administered while she was unsteady from a medical episode. Confronted with that evidence and the weak impairment proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony and was arrested on a probation warrant after being stopped in another county. The alleged violations included multiple positive drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees, but there were no new charges. We moved quickly to meet with probation and the prosecutor, laid out a concrete plan to complete treatment and bring payments current, and pushed back against revocation. The state withdrew the revocation and imposed a brief jail sanction with a short extension. The client remained on deferred probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client was picked up on a warrant and transferred back to the supervising county after multiple failed drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees were alleged. There were no new criminal charges. We got in immediately, met with the client and the supervision team, and presented mitigation showing a plan for treatment and compliance. We pressed negotiations with the prosecution to avoid an adjudication hearing. The State agreed to withdraw the revocation, continue deferred probation, impose a short jail sanction, extend the term, and require completion of an outpatient program and fees.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Following a minor collision, police responded and the client was taken to a hospital after officers deployed a Taser. There was no on-scene arrest, and we got involved immediately to monitor for any warrant activity. We engaged early, tracked the case status, and communicated with the authorities about what actually occurred and the extent of any property damage. We emphasized the medical circumstances and the context of the encounter, and pressed the prosecutor on the proof needed to sustain the charge. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for expired registration led to a DWI arrest. The officer noted an alcohol odor and claimed multiple clues on the roadside tests. At the station, hours later, a breath test read just over .15. We obtained body-cam and Intoxilyzer records and challenged the instructions, scoring, and the delay, noting the balance test was performed accurately. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred probation with interlock and classes, avoiding a final conviction if the client completes the terms.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

After a traffic stop that began when the driver accelerated to reach a restroom, police arrested our client and first labeled it evading in a vehicle. Video review later undercut that theory, and the case was refiled as reckless driving. We obtained the body cam, dashcam, and reports, showing the client pulled over immediately and was never given sobriety tests or a breath test. We highlighted the officer's speed claim against vehicle limits and the lack of evidence of dangerous driving. With those credibility and proof issues on the record, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated when a family member advanced on our client. He raised a small side table to create distance, a scuffle followed, and officers arrested him after noting minor injuries to the other party. We got involved early, obtained the bodycam and reports, and emphasized his clean history and that he was attempting to deescalate rather than assault. We coordinated with the family about their preferences and had the client proactively complete an online anger management course. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Montgomery County, 359th DC

Allegations

Probation sought to revoke our client's deferred adjudication, alleging missed check-ins, gaps in calling the testing line, and a single drug test reported positive for codeine. We secured a bond and compiled records showing the client was current on payments and otherwise compliant. We documented the work schedule that explained the call-in issues and pressed probation on the reliability and context of the lone positive. With that record in hand, the court continued the case on deferred probation with added monitoring instead of adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a headlight issue, the officer said he smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle, locating a very small amount consistent with a single blunt. We obtained the police reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the claimed odor, and how the search was carried out. We emphasized the minimal quantity and absence of other incriminating factors while signaling readiness to litigate the search. The state agreed to straight probation, keeping our client out of jail.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client faced a motion to revoke after a new arrest triggered a warrant and higher bond. We immediately engaged the court and prosecutor to obtain the basis of the allegation and moved to address the warrant. Our team compiled proof of full compliance to date, including completed conditions, clean reports, and payments made, and emphasized there was no new conviction. We challenged the sufficiency of the alleged violation and kept pressure on the State. The motion was dismissed.
