Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence after an argument over a phone call. The client was accused of grabbing the complainant's wrist, and officers noted claimed bruising before making an arrest. We got involved early, gathered the reports, and documented that there had been no threatening or harassing contact afterward. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. With that and the context we provided, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #5

Allegations

After a crash, officers arrived to find our client outside the vehicle. He declined field sobriety testing, a judge authorized a blood draw, and his license was seized. With a prior on record, the case was filed as a second-offense DWI. We gathered the reports, video, and 911 records, and emphasized the absence of roadside tests and gaps in the timeline from the collision to officer contact. Leveraging those issues in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a lesser charge with straight probation.

Charge

Tampering with or Fabricating Physical Evidence

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

During a civil service attempt, a dispute drew police, and our client recorded the encounter on a personal camera. Officers later seized the phone and camera and filed a tampering charge, alleging the recordings were altered to impair the investigation. We pulled the full digital files, bodycam, and agency records, verified the footage integrity, and highlighted contradictions in the officers’ accounts, including their failure to search at the scene. After we pressed the state on intent and proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, cc9

Allegations

After a collision, the client admitted to drinking and was arrested for DWI. Officers documented field sobriety tests and a breath test that read 0.08. We obtained the police reports and evidence and parsed each step of the stop and investigation. We emphasized the borderline reading and the absence of prior history. Through targeted negotiations, we persuaded the prosecutor to reduce the charge. The client accepted a reduction with deferred probation, avoiding a harsher outcome.

Charge

Aggravated Assault - Serious Bodily Injury

Location

Hays County, 274th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and accused our client of causing serious bodily injury to a household member. The allegation was enhanced to aggravated assault based largely on statements taken at the scene. Our client had limited memory after being injured during the arrest, so we concentrated on what the state would need to prove the enhancement. We scrutinized the reports and injury documentation and pressed the prosecutor on credibility and proof problems. After sustained negotiations, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor MTRP

Allegations

The individual was facing criminal charges due to a probation violation related to the requirement of an ignition interlock device (IID). The breach occurred after consuming alcohol at a social event, leading to a positive IID test. Prior probation was for a DWI offense.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence, a caller alleged our client displayed a firearm and police later detained the client. We secured and reviewed body camera footage, a bystander video, and the client's own recording, then built a clear timeline of events. The materials did not corroborate any assaultive act or threat with a weapon and left key elements of the charge unproven. We presented those evidentiary gaps to the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

During a residential visit, a dispute led to a 911 report that our client had brandished a firearm, and he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We moved quickly to gather all recordings, pulling the client’s own camera footage along with body-worn video and third-party clips. Comparing those videos to the initial statements revealed major inconsistencies and did not corroborate any assaultive use of a weapon. We compiled a detailed timeline and challenged the credibility of the allegation. Confronted with the evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.
