Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Credit Card Abuse

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The case stemmed from a prior stop where officers searched a vehicle and found a credit card bearing someone else’s name, then tied it to disputed transactions. When a court date was missed, a warrant was imminent. We stepped in, filed our appearance, got the setting reset, and pulled the full discovery. We examined the basis for the search and the overlap with other allegations from the same incident, and presented mitigation and a restitution plan. After persistent negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging unauthorized travel for work and an ankle monitor issue after police removed the device during a prior arrest. He was detained at an airport when a dispute led to a warrant check. We pulled the allegations, documented the employment opportunity, and explained the monitoring device dispute, showing the issues arose from supervision, not a new offense. We proposed treatment and pushed for a nonrevocation outcome. The state agreed to drop the action and the court dismissed the motion, securing his release.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

After a neighborhood dispute moved from social media into face to face encounters, our client was accused of harassment on a one sided report. We got involved early, contacted intake, and assembled the paper trail, prior call for service history, and video clips from both sides. Lining up the timeline exposed conflicting accounts and mutual confrontations that undercut the allegation. We put those contradictions in front of the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to fight it. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Fleeing a Police Officer

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

During a highway traffic stop, officers activated their lights. The driver eased off the accelerator and continued a short distance to exit and stop in a well lit area. Despite that, he was arrested for fleeing a police officer after a felony stop. We obtained the dashcam and bodycam, which showed he immediately slowed and stopped at the first safe location, with no evasive maneuvers. We used that footage and the officer's report to demonstrate the allegation was unsupported. The prosecution dismissed the fleeing charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was accused of violating terms after a pistol and a small amount of drugs were found at a residence during a move. We acted fast, seeking a bond and collecting affidavits. The family supplied firearm purchase records showing it was theirs, and property management confirmed the client no longer lived there. We documented the prior address change with supervision and attacked the proof of possession. Using that record, we negotiated a result that kept the client on probation rather than being revoked to prison.

Charge

Theft of Property (State Jail Felony)

Location

Hays County, 483rd District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of taking cash from a retail employer over a period of time by voiding cash sales, which an internal audit and security video allegedly tied to them. We obtained the discovery, including surveillance and point of sale records, and dug into how the loss totals were calculated. We highlighted valuation gaps, the client's steady employment, and gathered character letters and an apology, while arranging restitution. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to a deferred adjudication term, keeping a conviction off the record if completed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Police made contact with our client during a roadside incident and arrested them for unlawful carrying after learning a handgun was in the vehicle. The client immediately disclosed the firearm, which was secured inside a locked console safe and not readily accessible. We moved quickly, collected the arrest paperwork, and documented the secure storage and our client's voluntary disclosure. We presented that to charging prosecutors, who declined to file, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the client admitted not having a license. Officers placed him in handcuffs, obtained consent, and searched the vehicle, finding a pipe and a small baggie later charged as less than one gram. We pulled the body and dash camera footage, reports, and the lab results, then dissected the basis for the stop, the length of the detention, and whether consent was truly voluntary while restrained. We emphasized the minimal amount and clean history. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 408th Civil District Court

Allegations

A civil application for a protective order was filed against our client after a relationship ended. He had never been served and the applicant continued to take his calls. We secured the file, managed settings by Zoom when needed, and built an evidence packet of call logs, messages, and photos documenting ongoing, consensual contact and credibility problems. We laid this out to the attorney handling the matter and made clear we were ready to litigate. The application was dropped and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged choking. From the start, the client denied it and described a pattern of false claims. We gathered texts, recordings, and messages that undercut the accusation and exposed credibility issues. The state floated a dismissal conditioned on a permanent protective order, which we declined and continued to contest. After further negotiations, the client completed a short anger management class, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged speeding, the client exited at the next off-ramp and was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests and indicated willingness to provide blood, but a dispute at the hospital led officers to secure a warrant instead. We pushed for dash and body camera footage and scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and chain of custody. With no roadside testing and questions about the stop and consent, we applied pressure in negotiations. The prosecution reduced the charge, and the case resolved with a sentence of time served.
