Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Lampasas County, 22nd District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a low-level drug case when the state filed a motion to revoke based on a single positive UA and a period of missed check-ins. We stepped in quickly, coordinated with the court and supervision, and helped the client secure an inpatient treatment placement. We gathered proof of enrollment and progress, addressed the alleged absconding with a concrete compliance plan, and pushed back on any request for jail time. With that mitigation and commitment to treatment, the prosecution agreed to continue the case on deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Officers contacted the client while he sat in a parked truck at home after returning from a small gathering. He went inside to retrieve insurance paperwork and explained that longstanding ankle fusions made field sobriety tests impossible, yet the report marked it as a refusal. He declined a breath test and a hospital blood draw was obtained under a warrant after a blood sugar episode. We challenged the driving timeline, the purported witnesses, and the refusal notation, emphasizing his medical issues. The case was resolved with probation.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Grapevine Municipal Court

Allegations

After a fall at a busy airport, our client was arrested for public intoxication. Officers attributed the collapse to alcohol, even though no breath or blood test was taken. The client reported a significant medical condition and injuries from the fall, and had consumed a single drink earlier in the day. We gathered medical records, travel timeline details, and documentation of the injuries, and the client completed a voluntary education course. We presented the full packet and challenged the basis for the charge. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police arrested our client for DWI after a crash where they reported striking a deer and the vehicle ended up in a ditch. A blood sample was taken, but the client had a concussion and other serious injuries and remembered little of the event, and officers failed to get prompt medical care. We pulled medical records, compared them against the arrest timeline, and challenged the reliability of the field observations and blood draw context. We also documented proactive treatment and a clean history. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to straight probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation (DWI)

Location

Hays County, County Court at law #1

Allegations

While on misdemeanor DWI probation, the client faced a motion to revoke based on multiple positive tests, missed treatment, and falling behind on fees and service. We pulled the full probation file, UA logs, and program records to sort out what was completed and what was still outstanding. We showed that most DWI conditions were already done and assembled proof of renewed compliance with a plan to address the rest. After presenting this and pushing back on revocation, the state withdrew the motion and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated our client for DWI. The individual completed field sobriety tests but recalled little of the encounter. No roadside breath test was taken, and a later breath sample reportedly read above .15. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the stop and how the tests were administered, and raised questions about the procedures surrounding the breath result and our client's impaired memory. With no prior history, we leveraged these issues in negotiations and secured straight probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, 274th District Court

Allegations

Already on deferred probation for a felony drug case, our client was arrested on a warrant after probation alleged multiple violations, including positive tests, missed check-ins, and unpaid obligations. We obtained the probation records and scrutinized the basis for each allegation, identifying weaknesses and context the file ignored. We made our position clear in negotiations and prepared to contest the proof. The state dismissed the motion, avoiding revocation and leaving the underlying case intact.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute where the other party was injured. From the outset we built a self defense case. The client was the one who called for help, there was a recent protective order against the complainant from a prior incident, and the complainant later acknowledged initiating the altercation. We gathered those statements and documented that the injury was superficial. The State floated a probation offer, but we refused and pressed the credibility problems. Faced with that record, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

The client was stopped after making a wrong-way turn and quickly correcting with a U-turn. Officers noted alcohol use, the client refused field sobriety tests, was arrested, and a blood draw was obtained by warrant. With two prior DWIs, prison was a real risk. We examined the stop, the affidavit for the blood warrant, and every detail in the reports, emphasizing the limited driving behavior and the absence of test performance due to the refusal. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Travis County, CCL6

Allegations

The client was contacted in a park after hours and declined field sobriety tests, explaining their footwear was slippery, then refused breath testing. Officers obtained a blood warrant after an unusually long process that appeared to involve a trainee and multiple location changes. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the refusal warnings, the delay before the draw, and the handling of the sample. Using these issues as leverage, we negotiated the case down and the charge was reduced.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Collin County, Frisco Municipal Court

Allegations

Police found our client asleep in a parked car after a night out. The vehicle was off, and the officer noted the client did not appear intent on driving. The only assessment performed was an eye test, and there was no allegation of driving or other risky behavior. We pressed those facts with the prosecutor, emphasizing the lack of operation of a vehicle and minimal indicators of impairment. With no priors and thin proof on essential elements, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance and arrested our client at a residence. He consistently maintained that he did not strike anyone, and he had no prior history or protective order. We got involved immediately, obtained the case materials, and met with the prosecution to lay out the context of the argument and the limited severity of the allegations. We pressed for a full dismissal based on those facts and his clean record. The state agreed and dismissed the case.
