Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

Police were called to a parking lot after a minor vehicle contact. Officers performed only a pen and eye test while the individual remained seated, noted no head movement, then arrested for DWI and obtained a consensual blood draw. We obtained dispatch recordings, dash and body camera video, and lab records, and documented medical limitations that could affect any field testing. The blood result was very low and did not corroborate impairment. After we presented these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CCL-1

Allegations

The vehicle was found with hazard lights on and a flat tire, partially blocking a driveway, and officers contacted our client as they returned to the car. Field sobriety tests were given and the client struggled. A blood draw later reported THC but no alcohol. We pulled the body and dash videos, the report, and lab paperwork, and documented the client’s prescribed medications that affect balance and recent fatigue. We pressed the state on whether this proved impairment at the time of driving, and secured deferred adjudication to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bell County, 426th Judicial District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation for a drug case, the client faced a motion to revoke after a new arrest in another jurisdiction and disputed claims about community service and fees. We gathered proof of compliance, including completion certificates from inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, documentation of aftercare, and receipts showing fines paid. After a brief relapse, we secured immediate reentry into treatment and provided progress updates. Armed with this rehabilitation record, we pushed for a measured outcome. The court reduced the sanction and credited time served, closing the case without further jail.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

An online marketplace meetup went sideways when the client picked up a small household item and headed to withdraw cash, but the seller left before payment could be completed. A warrant issued and the case was filed. We got involved immediately, coordinated a safe plan to clear the warrant, and obtained discovery. We gathered proof of the cash withdrawal and framed the incident as a misunderstanding, with the client ready to make the seller whole. After negotiations with the prosecutor, the case resolved in deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

Police alleged the client took part in a robbery with others and that a co-participant displayed a gun. After the arrest, officers accessed a phone and cited text messages to claim she planned the incident. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the messages, and showed they were ambiguous and did not prove she aided, encouraged, or anticipated a weapon being used. We emphasized her clean record and that she never possessed a weapon. Using those points in negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge to reflect her limited role.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Montgomery County, 359th DC

Allegations

Following a traffic stop for speeding, officers said the client did not pull over immediately and filed a resisting or evading arrest charge. The client continued for a short period while calling a family member and looking for a safer, well lit place to stop, then parked and surrendered with hands visible. We dug into the offense report and timeline, emphasizing the brief delay, the safe-stop explanation, and the client’s immediate cooperation, all of which undercut any intent to flee. Using that leverage, we negotiated a probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

Officers were called to a residence for a medical issue, not a traffic stop. They found our client seated in a parked vehicle, conducted roadside tests, obtained a breath sample, and filed a first offense DWI. We reviewed the police reports and bodycam, which confirmed officers never saw any driving and contacted a stationary car. We mapped the timeline to show any alcohol indicators came after the car was parked, undermining proof of operation while intoxicated. After we pressed these issues and signaled we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Late at night, an officer came upon our client after a single-vehicle motorcycle wreck in heavy rain. Field sobriety tests were administered even though the client had just been injured. The client declined a roadside breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital hours later under a warrant. We reviewed the video and reports, highlighted the unreliable testing conditions, questioned the basis for detention, and emphasized the delay separating the blood result from driving. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor theft after an older work-issued laptop surfaced outside the workplace and an online listing mentioned a computer part allegedly tied to the same employer. We got involved early, opened dialogue with the investigator to manage any warrant issues, and compiled context showing the laptop was inadvertently packed with someone else’s belongings. We also challenged valuation, emphasizing the device’s age and minimal resale range. With weak proof of intent and questionable value, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court #5

Allegations

The client learned about an old misdemeanor theft warrant tied to a store incident where they had occasionally helped out, not as a regular employee. We pulled the reports and evidence and found multiple weaknesses, including a delayed complaint, gaps in the alleged timeline, confusion from a name change, and a missing recording of a witness interview that tended to implicate someone else. We put those issues in front of the prosecutor, pressed for an interest of justice resolution, and kept the pressure on. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County

Allegations

Police cited our client for public intoxication after a brief encounter outside a commercial area where officers noted signs of alcohol use. We gathered records and compiled proof of immediate counseling and regular sobriety testing. In negotiations, we highlighted the narrow scope of the incident and the client's clean history, and we were ready to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case, keeping the citation off our client's record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

During a domestic dispute, an argument over a phone was reported as an assault. The client promptly gave his statement to police, and a relative on scene supported that version. We secured the 911 audio, body cam, and the complainant’s phone recording, then lined them up against later interviews that conflicted with the original report. The complainant also later indicated she did not wish to proceed. Leveraging those weaknesses, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding jail and giving the client a path to resolve the case.
