Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL12

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a traffic stop. They had been drinking earlier while taking prescribed medication and later woke up in custody with little memory of the encounter. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the state's evidence, reconstructed the contact from reports, and challenged the justification for the stop along with the handling of any field testing and blood analysis. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case, and the matter was closed with a sentence credited as time served.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

After a neighborhood dispute moved from social media into face to face encounters, our client was accused of harassment on a one sided report. We got involved early, contacted intake, and assembled the paper trail, prior call for service history, and video clips from both sides. Lining up the timeline exposed conflicting accounts and mutual confrontations that undercut the allegation. We put those contradictions in front of the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to fight it. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with a 911 Call

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police alleged the client blocked a 911 call during a domestic argument. We gathered and reviewed messages and recordings that showed the broader context of the dispute and credibility issues, then engaged the prosecutor with that material. When the state proposed dismissal tied to an overly broad protective order, we refused. We kept negotiating and secured a path to dismissal conditioned on an online anger-management course. The client completed it promptly, we presented proof in court, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Officers tied our client to suspected narcotics found inside an apartment during a move. We established the client had already reported a new residence and was not living at that location. The room where the item was discovered was used by multiple people. We compiled a notarized statement from a third party accepting responsibility, a letter from the property manager confirming non-residency, and documentation of the address change. After we challenged the ability to prove knowing possession, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged choking, leading to an arrest. We reviewed the State’s video evidence and gathered messages and recordings from the client that undermined key parts of the accusation. We presented these credibility issues to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The State suggested extra conditions we found unnecessary, and we continued to push back. After the client completed an eight-hour online anger management course, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged choking. From the start, the client denied it and described a pattern of false claims. We gathered texts, recordings, and messages that undercut the accusation and exposed credibility issues. The state floated a dismissal conditioned on a permanent protective order, which we declined and continued to contest. After further negotiations, the client completed a short anger management class, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged speeding, the client exited at the next off-ramp and was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests and indicated willingness to provide blood, but a dispute at the hospital led officers to secure a warrant instead. We pushed for dash and body camera footage and scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and chain of custody. With no roadside testing and questions about the stop and consent, we applied pressure in negotiations. The prosecution reduced the charge, and the case resolved with a sentence of time served.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a brief relationship ended, the client was accused of stalking based on claims of repeated contact and visits to a residence. We dug into the communications and obtained phone logs and messages showing the contact was mutual, including a long call where the complainant discussed meeting in the future. We built a detailed timeline and highlighted inconsistencies between the accusation and the communications. After presenting that to the prosecution and pressing the weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a minor crash when another driver pulled out, police investigated and questioned our client about alcohol use. He admitted to a couple of drinks, performed field sobriety tests on a sloped roadside shortly after the collision, and declined a breath test. No blood was taken. We pressed the prosecution on the reliability of tests done on uneven ground right after an impact and the complete lack of a chemical result. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated a resolution that avoided jail and resulted in probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The client was stopped in a construction zone for alleged speeding and arrested after the officer claimed signs of intoxication. Field sobriety tests were conducted on a muddy, sloped roadside, and the client had recent arm and leg injuries that affected balance. The client declined a roadside breath test, and a blood sample was taken later by warrant after a significant delay. We challenged the testing conditions, the basis for the warrant, and pointed to the officer’s own inconsistent statements about intoxication. The prosecution reduced the charge, and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Credit Card Abuse

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The case stemmed from a prior stop where officers searched a vehicle and found a credit card bearing someone else’s name, then tied it to disputed transactions. When a court date was missed, a warrant was imminent. We stepped in, filed our appearance, got the setting reset, and pulled the full discovery. We examined the basis for the search and the overlap with other allegations from the same incident, and presented mitigation and a restitution plan. After persistent negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication.
