Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a medical call, our client was transported in an ambulance and later accused of indecent assault for allegedly touching a responder. We secured the EMS run data, hospital records showing rib fractures and significant pain, and statements describing the client strapped to a gurney during a bumpy ride. We highlighted discrepancies in the reports and, most importantly, the state’s inability to prove any sexual intent. We presented this package early and pressed the prosecutor on the evidentiary gaps. The DA dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the client completed roadside tests, declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We obtained the body and dash videos and saw steady performance on the field tests with no crash or other aggravators. The lab reported a BAC of 0.096, only slightly above the limit. We scrutinized the timeline and reliability of that number and made clear we were prepared to litigate. Leveraging the favorable video and borderline result, we negotiated a reduction to obstruction of a highway with deferred probation, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, 396th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a collision and arrested our client for DWI after field sobriety tests. A hospital blood draw was taken under a warrant and later reported a high BAC. We pulled the videos, dissected how the tests were given, and examined the legality of the draw, confirming phlebotomist credentials, swab type, and the lab’s chain of custody. The client promptly installed an interlock and completed AA and repeat offender classes. With mitigation and evidentiary pressure, we secured straight probation, coordinated for supervision in the client’s home state.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Following a roadway incident, officers suspected DWI and arrested our client. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the lab report showing a 0.04 BAC, well below the per se limit, and reviewed the video evidence. We challenged any claim of impairment and pressed the State by preparing for a speedy trial. Confronted with a weak case, prosecutors agreed to dismiss after the client completed a brief educational panel. The case was dismissed and bond conditions were lifted.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was found asleep outside a convenience store. First responders checked on them, police arrived, issued a citation, and the client was briefly held before release. We obtained the police records and evidence, scrutinizing whether they posed a danger to themselves or others as required for the offense. We emphasized cooperation, no vehicle involved, and the absence of any disturbance or injuries. Through focused negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute after a night of heavy drinking, and our client was arrested for alleged strangulation. We obtained and reviewed 911 audio, body camera video, and the offense reports. The complaining witness later reported limited recollection and did not wish to pursue charges. She signed an affidavit of non prosecution that we presented to the state. After multiple settings, we used that affidavit and mitigation to negotiate deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction and jail in favor of counseling.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

Our client was accused of indecent exposure after a bystander reported activity in a parked car and provided a cell phone video with a license plate number. We obtained the footage and discovery, which showed only a vehicle with heavily tinted windows, recorded at a distance as it pulled away. The clip did not clearly depict any exposure or reliably identify the person inside. We emphasized these evidentiary gaps and the State’s high burden, and signaled readiness to challenge admissibility. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

After a collision with two parked cars, officers responded and opened a DWI investigation. The client reported he had been texting, showed clues on HGN and the one-leg stand, and no walk-and-turn was performed. He was taken to a hospital where a blood sample was drawn. Officers also located marijuana paraphernalia, but no separate charge followed. We pulled the full discovery, including crash and medical records, emphasized the limited field testing and post-accident context, and negotiated a resolution to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a collision, officers found an open container in the vehicle. The client was asked to perform field sobriety tests at the roadside right after the crash and airbag deployment, and the results were unfavorable. They refused a breath test, were taken to a hospital, and a blood sample was drawn by warrant that later came back well over .15. We reviewed the videos and reports, highlighted the post-crash testing conditions, months of clean interlock logs, and completed classes. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

After a late-night argument at a residence, officers responded and alleged our client kept the other party from calling 911, leading to an arrest for interference with an emergency call. We pushed for full discovery, including body cam, phone records, and 911 documentation, and spoke with the complainant. Both had been drinking and their accounts were inconsistent. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution and reported no ongoing safety concerns. Leveraging those facts, we secured deferred adjudication on the misdemeanor, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Dallas County, Garland Municipal Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding and an improper lane change, the client admitted to drinking. No field sobriety tests were given and no breath or blood sample was taken. We moved quickly, secured the police report, and assembled mitigation, including character letters and proof of early completion of an alcohol awareness class. We pressed the prosecutor for a resolution that avoided a conviction and negotiated deferred adjudication, allowing the client to complete conditions and keep a conviction off their record.

Charge

Duty on Striking Structure, Fixture, or Highway Landscaping

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Following a single-vehicle incident that damaged a roadside fixture, our client was accused of not completing the required duties after the impact. We gathered the crash report, dispatch logs, and emergency response records to reconstruct the timeline. The documentation showed immediate involvement by first responders and transport to a hospital, clarifying how the scene was handled. We emphasized the client’s clean record and other mitigating factors. Through focused negotiations, the case was resolved with probation.
