Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bell County, 426th District Court Bell

Allegations

The state accused our client of felony possession after officers reported finding suspected narcotics. We obtained the reports and lab paperwork, challenged the basis for the search, and highlighted gaps in the chain of custody. We also presented mitigation, including the time our client had already spent in custody. Confronted with these issues, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge. The court imposed a sentence of time served, and our client was released.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged lane change without signaling, the client performed field sobriety tests in a parking lot and later provided two breath samples around 0.11. We secured the video and breath-test records, highlighting that the eye test was repeated several times and the report described the movement as almost unsafe. We pressed the state on reasonable suspicion, NHTSA compliance, and breath-machine procedures. Using the client’s cooperation and clean history, we leveraged these issues to secure a reduction to a lesser, non DWI offense.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Priors)

Location

Bexar County, 144th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a home, officers relied largely on the complainant’s account that our client pinned them against a counter and injured a wrist. The client reported he only removed their hands from him and then drove them for treatment. When we took over, we obtained discovery and reviewed the reports, bodycam, and medical records. We flagged a delayed outcry, contradictions between the initial report and follow up, and a potential motive tied to housing bills, plus evidence of medical aid. Faced with these issues, the state reduced the case, and we resolved it with deferred probation, keeping a felony off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Williamson County, 26th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of aggravated robbery after an incident reported to law enforcement. Our team obtained the discovery and carefully evaluated statements and reports. We challenged the sufficiency of the State's proof and questioned whether the evidence actually established the charged offense. Throughout negotiations we made clear we were ready to litigate those issues. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was arrested for a third DWI. Officers ran roadside tests and drew blood, which later showed multiple substances. We scrutinized the reason for the stop, how the tests were given, and the handling of the blood evidence. We also documented recent treatment and strong family support to mitigate risk. With those challenges and mitigation on the table, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

Intoxication Assault

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 7

Allegations

The case stemmed from a crash during a crowded street gathering. Several passengers were in the vehicle, and one suffered serious injuries. The client completed roadside tests and consented to a blood draw. We secured bystander video showing the injured passenger riding partly outside a window while the car executed a maneuver and then struck parked vehicles. Using that footage, the accident file, and the client’s clean history, we attacked causation and the state’s theory. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charges.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Harris County, 482nd DC

Allegations

According to reports, a dispute at a repair shop escalated when the client displayed a pocketknife and employees said they felt threatened. No one was injured and the event was not captured on usable video. We obtained the reports and identifications, then built mitigation with treatment records for alcohol use, documented mental health diagnoses, and a lack of violent history. We communicated progress to the prosecutor and pressed the weaknesses in corroboration. The state offered deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction while the client continues treatment.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

A traffic stop for speeding on a motorcycle ended in arrest after the client disclosed a handgun to the officer. The officer labeled him a gang member based on a motorcycle vest and treated the carry as unlawful, though it was not a prohibited place. We pulled the reports and video, challenged the basis for the stop and seizure, and attacked the claim of gang affiliation. With that leverage and trial prep, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a tire blowout caused a single-vehicle incident, officers noticed empty cans and put our client through roadside tests. He explained long-standing balance and respiratory issues, and an officer even remarked on his careful maneuvering to clear traffic. We gathered medical records, tied the crash to mechanical failure, and emphasized his clean history. Leaning on those points, we pressed for an alternative resolution. The state agreed to deferred probation with a class, interlock, and fines, keeping a conviction off his record if he completes the term.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Already on deferred probation for a felony drug case, the client faced a motion to adjudicate after he stopped reporting, missed a UA, and fell behind on classes when a family death and a housing move took him out of state. We obtained the violation packet, met with the prosecutor, and documented the reasons for the lapse. We got the client re-engaged, arranging third party drug testing and restarting required conditions. After multiple settings we pressed to avoid jail and adjudication. The case was continued on deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, CCC4

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an illegal turn, officers reported signs of intoxication and obtained a blood draw that came back very high. We pulled the dash and body cam, lab records, and the warrant materials. Our team flagged gaps in the affidavit and emphasized that the video did not match the extreme number. The client completed counseling and other proactive steps, which we packaged for negotiations. When the state would not offer deferred, we kept pressure on and resolved the case with straight probation, avoiding jail.

Charge

Injury to a Disabled Individual

Location

Harris County, 179th DC

Allegations

The case arose from a store incident where our client intervened after a youth confronted and struck the client’s child. A brief fight followed, security separated everyone, and police later alleged the client caused injury to a disabled individual. We secured surveillance and cellphone video, multiple police reports, and medical records for the child. We emphasized that the complainant initiated the violence, highlighted conflicting accounts, and framed our client’s actions as defensive. While prepared to try the case, we pressed these points in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation.
