Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Galveston County, 56th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a disturbance at a hotel lobby and arrested the client for public intoxication. During the booking inventory at the jail, they claimed to find two blue pills in a wallet, later tested as prescription amphetamine weighing well under a gram. We demanded all body cam and jail inventory footage and pointed out the lack of video documenting the alleged find. We also presented mitigation, including a clean observed drug test and strong character support. After brief drug and alcohol classes were completed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication for a state jail felony and was accused of violating probation after an out-of-state incident led to two new cases and a claim of unpaid fees. We obtained the probation file, pulled bank records proving all supervision costs and fines were paid, and documented that the out-of-state matters were disputed and unproven. We pressed the state with this record and filed targeted pleadings to address the allegations and the outstanding warrant. The motion to adjudicate was dismissed, the warrant recalled, and the case closed.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Dallas County, 292nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

After an arrest for solicitation of prostitution, our client remained in custody with an immigration hold. We met in jail, pulled the discovery, and opened communication with the assigned prosecutor. The state later proposed a deferred adjudication offer, which we rejected because any plea would jeopardize the client's immigration case. We coordinated with immigration counsel and held a firm dismissal-or-trial position while the evidence was reviewed. The prosecution ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Galveston County, Galveston Municipal Court of Record

Allegations

Our client was cited for Class C assault after an altercation at a public venue where an intoxicated patron confronted them while they were holding a child. The client admitted tossing an empty foam cup as the aggressor tried to lunge past a bystander, and moments later the aggressor punched that bystander, who needed medical care. We secured the venue's surveillance video and gathered witness statements showing the aggressor initiated the conflict and the cup caused no injury. We also documented the parallel case against the aggressor. Faced with this context and a clear self defense narrative, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, CDC1

Allegations

Police arrested our client in an undercover operation after they replied to an online ad for adult companionship and went to a hotel room provided by the decoy. We secured the full message thread, which showed vague language, a price point, and no explicit agreement for sex, along with repeated outreach from the undercover. We addressed the client’s after-the-arrest remarks and built mitigation with counseling records and character letters showing stability and remorse. After presenting the evidentiary gaps and mitigation to the prosecutor, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a medical call, our client was transported in an ambulance and later accused of indecent assault for allegedly touching a responder. We secured the EMS run data, hospital records showing rib fractures and significant pain, and statements describing the client strapped to a gurney during a bumpy ride. We highlighted discrepancies in the reports and, most importantly, the state’s inability to prove any sexual intent. We presented this package early and pressed the prosecutor on the evidentiary gaps. The DA dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was found asleep outside a convenience store. First responders checked on them, police arrived, issued a citation, and the client was briefly held before release. We obtained the police records and evidence, scrutinizing whether they posed a danger to themselves or others as required for the offense. We emphasized cooperation, no vehicle involved, and the absence of any disturbance or injuries. Through focused negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Eluding a Police Officer

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The stop began when an officer activated lights behind our client. Rather than speed away, the client turned on hazards, signaled, obeyed traffic controls, and drove a short distance to a familiar, well lit location to park, then immediately complied. We obtained the bodycam and dashcam, which confirmed the careful driving and calm surrender and captured remarks that undercut any intent to flee. We challenged whether the elements of eluding were met and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. Faced with weak proof of intent, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Galveston County, County Court at Law No. 1

Allegations

Police alleged the client damaged a pickup outside a residence after a tense personal dispute. We gathered the 911 call, body and dashcam, and the home surveillance video. The footage showed only a generic white truck and a figure who could not be identified, with no license plate captured. Repair photos or invoices proving damage or its value were never produced, despite the prosecution’s assertions. We pressed the identification gap and valuation issues and set the case for trial. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

After a roadside stop, the client was cited for driving while their license was allegedly suspended because of old tickets. By the time we got involved, they had paid the reinstatement fee and were working through those fines. We obtained the driving record and proof of compliance, then challenged whether any suspension was still in effect at the time of the stop. We presented those issues to the prosecutor and kept the pressure on. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Harris County, 488th DC

Allegations

After a low speed contact with a pedestrian near a crosswalk, police opened a failure to stop case. The client stopped at once, apologized, and tried to check on the person, who stayed on the phone, refused to engage, took a photo of the plate, and walked away before later reporting an injury. We stepped in early, halted further questioning, and gathered scene photos and a witness confirming the client repeatedly offered help. We showed prosecutors the evidence that aid was offered and declined. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

The client was accused after a passerby reported seeing activity in a vehicle and later provided a brief cell phone video along with the plate number. We secured the discovery and scrutinized the footage, which was captured through dark window tint and did not clearly show the alleged conduct or who was in the car. We highlighted these identification and proof problems and made clear we were prepared to fight them in court. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon completion.
