Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Theft of Service

Location

Bexar County, DC226

Allegations

The client was charged after a repair arrangement at a shop fell apart and the complainant claimed significant losses. We reconstructed the payment flow by reviewing receipts, messages, and account histories, and found the money ran through a third party account rather than our client's. We demanded the state produce bank records tying any deposits to our client's accounts and moved to subpoena the bank if needed. In court, the prosecution could not make that link. With that key element missing, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

Police stopped the client after a 911 report of reckless driving. At the scene the client refused breath testing, and officers later sought a warrant for a blood draw. We obtained the 911 and dispatch records, video from the stop, and the warrant paperwork, then scrutinized the basis for the stop and whether the draw was handled by the book. We raised the evidentiary weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate the suppression issues. The state agreed to resolve the case with straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.

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 - First Offense

Location

Galveston County, County Court at Law No. 1

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for a minor lane violation, the client was investigated for DWI. They acknowledged having a couple of drinks, attempted field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was later taken at the jail even though the statutory warning form marked it as a refusal. We obtained the videos and paperwork, challenged the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered, and emphasized the inconsistency in the blood draw documentation along with strong mitigation. The state agreed to resolve the case with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

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

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in Williamson County. We moved quickly to obtain the police reports and lab paperwork, then walked the state's evidence from seizure to testing to assess what could actually be proved at trial. We also prepared mitigation and background materials to provide context and reduce perceived risk. After presenting our analysis and submissions in negotiations, the prosecution chose not to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Carrollton Municipal Court

Allegations

Our client called police during a domestic argument. After the first response, the dispute continued, and during filming at close range the client knocked a phone from the other person’s hand. When officers returned, they viewed the clip and issued a Class C assault by contact citation. We entered the case, notified the court, and requested all discovery, including the video and reports. We also provided the complainant with a nonprosecution affidavit to complete. After presenting our position to the prosecutor, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Deadly Conduct (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police arrested the client after a domestic argument in a parked SUV. The complainant told officers an arm was caught in the window as the client pulled forward, while the client said he stopped immediately and left to avoid further conflict. We moved quickly to modify restrictive bond conditions and gathered statements from those involved. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we filed and presented to the prosecutor. We highlighted contradictions between the initial 911 account and later statements and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Denton County, 462nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

Facing a felony possession charge, our client came to us after police reported finding a controlled substance. We dug into the discovery and focused on how the item was recovered, whether the search that uncovered it was lawful, and if the state could actually link it to the client. We pressed inconsistencies in the reports and the strength of the lab proof. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution acknowledged the evidentiary problems. The case resolved with a reduced charge and straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, our client was investigated for DWI. They performed field sobriety tests and later had a blood draw after declining a breath test. There was no crash and no passengers, and the client made no admissions. We pressed for full discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the roadside exercises, and the blood-draw paperwork and procedures, and signaled readiness to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Our client faced a misdemeanor motion to revoke probation after the ignition interlock allegedly showed alcohol and caused a few lockouts. On one drive the unit gave a warning, then a pass, then a fail, then another pass, and the camera could not clearly confirm who was blowing. He had no new offenses, was near the end of probation, and had proof of completed classes and payments. We obtained the vendor logs, compiled his compliance records, and challenged the reliability of the readings. The State withdrew the motion and the court dismissed the case.
