Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a single‑vehicle incident that caused minor property damage. Officers responded to a 911 call, noted indicators of impairment, administered field sobriety tests, and obtained a consensual blood draw following a breath test refusal. The result later came back well over .15, increasing exposure. We obtained the body cam, dash cam, 911 audio, and lab records, ensured bond compliance with an interlock, and front‑loaded alcohol education. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with straight probation and no jail time.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CCL16

Allegations

The weapon charge arose from a traffic stop where an officer said a caller reported reckless driving and, after the stop, a handgun was found in the vehicle. We obtained the dash and body camera video and scrutinized the reason for the stop, noting the officer relied on an unverified tip and shifting observations amid other emergency activity on the roadway. We also challenged the basis for the vehicle search and the connection between our client and the firearm. After we laid out these defects and prepared a suppression challenge, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of Protective Order

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police alleged our client violated a newly issued protective order after returning to a residence and coordinating a child pickup. The order was a temporary ex parte order with vague language about prohibited locations, and the protected party was no longer living at the address in question. We moved immediately to vacate or modify the order, requested an emergency hearing, and documented lack of clear service and terms. We coordinated with the county attorney and the investigating officer to prevent an arrest and secured a written agreement maintaining the status quo. With the scope clarified and no willful violation, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Request for Assistance (911)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a domestic argument, our client was accused of interfering with a 911 call. The client consistently reported that the complainant left the home with a phone and no attempt was made to stop any call. We challenged the timeline using the state's records, showing any call occurred after the complainant had already left, which undercut the accusation. We also emphasized the lack of any effort to seize a phone or block access. Facing those evidentiary problems and a noncooperative complainant, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Fort Bend County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The case arose from a workplace encounter where the complainant alleged unwelcome touching. When contacted by investigators, our client explained there had been mutual flirting and acknowledged a hug, and he was later arrested on a warrant. We pulled the full discovery, compared accounts, and emphasized context that raised questions about intent, along with the client’s lack of prior record. Through sustained negotiation with the prosecutor while preparing to litigate, we secured a resolution to straight probation rather than a harsher outcome.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

Police were dispatched on a suspicious person call and found our client in a parking lot waiting for a ride and a tow, with the vehicle off. He told the officer he had no intention of driving. After a brief HGN, he was arrested for a second DWI. We dissected the officer's report, underscoring that no one ever observed driving and that transportation had already been arranged. At trial we pressed those points on cross and challenged the basis for the arrest. The verdict was Not Guilty.

Charge

Assault by Threat (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Garland Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued our client a citation for Class C assault by threat after a mental health crisis at a residence. The allegation was verbal only, there was no physical contact, and no one else was injured. We obtained medical records documenting self-inflicted injuries and prepared a mitigation package explaining the crisis. We emphasized the absence of evidence of a threat toward others and pressed the state on proof issues. After negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 182nd DC

Allegations

The client’s truck had run out of gas and was stopped in traffic with hazard lights on when an officer arrived. Dash video shows the client in the driver’s seat, then moving toward a gas can; a 911 caller had only reported a disabled vehicle, not driving. An open container was noted, the client refused breath testing, and blood was later drawn by warrant. We attacked the state’s proof of operation and intoxication at the time of driving, using the video and call audio to underscore those gaps. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with felony probation, avoiding prison.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

While on felony probation from a prior THC cartridge case, the client missed several check-ins and had outstanding community service, prompting a motion to revoke and a warrant. We confirmed all supervision fees were paid, collected documentation of his community service efforts, and opened direct talks with the prosecutor. We addressed the absences with context and mitigation, and proposed a constructive alternative to punishment. The state agreed to close the revocation upon a documented charitable donation to a local food bank. The motion was withdrawn and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Coryell County, Copperas Cove Municipal Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute where officers issued Class C assault citations to both people based largely on initial statements. At the first setting, no discovery had been produced, so we demanded the reports and set the matter for trial. We compiled the cross allegations and pointed out the thin proof of any intentional offensive contact. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we delivered to the prosecutor. We also provided a matching affidavit on the cross complaint. The state dismissed our client's case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

Police responded to a highway collision after another driver cut into our client's lane. Officers reported alcohol odor, the client admitted coming from a bar, declined roadside tests for safety, and later gave a station breath sample over 0.15. We obtained the crash report, video, and intoxilyzer records, scrutinizing the operator’s steps and the device’s maintenance, and emphasized that our client did not cause the wreck. With no prior record and full compliance on bond, we negotiated to avoid jail and secure probation. We also handled the license side, requesting the ALR hearing and guiding interlock and driving privileges.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

Officers stopped the client after a 911 reckless driving report. During the encounter, things escalated and the client was accused of resisting or evading, though the client later had little recollection of the exchange. We secured the reports and bodycam, mapped out the timeline, and scrutinized whether clear commands were given and whether there was any intentional obstruction or flight. We pressed the State on the gaps in proof and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.
