Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Stopped for a wide turn shortly after leaving a venue, the client was arrested for DWI. Officers conducted field sobriety tests while the client wore slide sandals and used a roadside breath screen, then obtained a warrant for a blood draw after the evidentiary breath test was declined. We secured and reviewed dash and body cam video, noting the reported driving was not clearly shown and the test instructions were questionable given the footwear. We raised suppression issues and submitted early mitigation. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

The client was stopped after officers saw a traffic light violation and erratic driving. Signs of impairment were noted during field tests, including the eye test, and a subsequent blood draw came back just over the legal limit. There was no crash and no prior record. We pulled the videos, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the testing, and the lab paperwork, and signaled we were ready to fight if needed. The client also completed recommended classes early. Leveraging those factors, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record if completed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 204th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony drug case when a new arrest triggered a motion to revoke citing the fresh charge and unfinished community service. A warrant issued. We moved fast, opened direct talks with the prosecutor who filed the motion, and pressed the weaknesses in the new allegation, including the complaining witness’s stated unwillingness to cooperate. We also addressed the probation compliance issues and mapped a plan to cure them. After negotiations, the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 277th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI with a child passenger after an officer reported reckless driving and a near miss during a traffic stop. A family member retrieved the children from the scene. With no prior record, we moved quickly to gather the reports and available video, examine the arrest narrative, and identify leverage points. We emphasized the client’s clean history and addressed the state’s child-safety concerns in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and supervision, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class A)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence where the complainant said her wrist was grabbed. We moved quickly to address restrictive bond conditions and pulled the 911 audio, body cam, and photos. The videos captured officers debating who, if anyone, was the primary aggressor, and the injury images did not match the claims. The complainant did not wish to pursue the case. We presented these weaknesses to the prosecutor and arranged for the client to complete two brief classes. After we filed the certificates, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

The client was stopped for alleged swerving and questioned about impairment. They declined roadside tests and a breath sample, and officers later obtained a warrant for a blood draw. With two prior out-of-state DWIs, there was a real risk the case could be refiled as a felony, so we moved quickly, pulled the videos and blood records, and pushed to address it while it remained in misdemeanor court. We also guided the client through bond and license requirements and opened negotiations early. The case was reduced and resolved with a time-served disposition, avoiding further jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

After a minor rear‑end crash, the client was arrested for DWI following field sobriety tests. They reported taking prescribed sleep medication after a sleepless night, and the blood analysis showed zero alcohol. We dug into the videos and lab reports and pressed the state on whether prescription use actually caused impairment at the time of driving. Using that leverage, we negotiated a diversion agreement with monitoring, testing, and classes. The client completed all requirements, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 3

Allegations

The client was stopped after a 911 complaint from a road incident, and officers found a handgun in the glove box while also learning the license was invalid, leading to a UCW charge. We pulled the police reports, 911 audio, and body cam video and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the weapon's discovery. We also worked around scheduling issues and helped the client address license problems to show mitigation. Using those leverage points, we negotiated a reduction, and the case closed with a time served resolution in court.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police found our client in a parking lot after the vehicle hit a curb and blew a tire, with no crash, injuries, or damage to others. He received medical treatment, including Narcan. We secured discovery, gathered hospital paperwork, and obtained a detailed letter from his long-term, highly structured recovery program documenting compliance. We pushed the state on proving intoxication by narcotics and highlighted the absence of an accident along with the client's sustained rehabilitation. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, with the resolution crediting him for time already served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence, relying largely on the initial account and moving to detain him inside the home. From day one he reported that the other party started the altercation and that he only tried to prevent further harm. We scrutinized the officer's entry into the home and the thin basis for the arrest, and highlighted injuries and other evidence consistent with our client's account. The complaining witness later made clear she did not wish to proceed. Confronted with credibility and proof problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid (With Prior)

Location

Ellis County, None

Allegations

Following a roadside dispute, the client was stopped and charged with driving while license invalid with a prior after officers could not verify insurance and ran his information. The suspension traced to unpaid out-of-state tickets and administrative holds. We obtained his driving record, pinpointed the holds, and had the client clear them and pay the reinstatement fee, documenting every step. We delivered that proof to the prosecutor and pressed the weaknesses in pursuing a case where the license issues were being resolved. The state dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

A traffic stop for an expired registration led to a DWI investigation. The officer relied heavily on the eye test and noted some difficulty on the walk and turn, but there was no bad driving observed. The client refused breath testing, consented to a blood draw, and the result later came back below the legal limit with no drugs detected. We reviewed bodycam and reports, emphasizing the lack of impairment cues and a timeline that undercut any claim of a higher BAC while driving. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.
