Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of sexually assaulting a minor after an incident at a private residence. We obtained the full discovery, including recorded statements, and scrutinized the timeline and details. Our team identified witnesses who were present and gathered mitigation showing the client’s steady school performance and strict compliance with court orders. We compiled that into a persuasive submission and pressed the state in negotiations. The matter was resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

Our client was on deferred adjudication when a felony motion to revoke was filed after several out‑of‑state arrests triggered a warrant. We coordinated with probation and out‑of‑state counsel, obtained records, and challenged what the State could actually prove. In negotiations we pushed to remove the most serious allegations and narrowed the case to minor traffic matters. After arranging a controlled appearance, the warrant was lifted and the judge continued the client on deferred probation with an extension rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant, the client hit standing water and slid into a utility pole, bringing officers to the scene. Field sobriety tests were given and the client was arrested. There was no breath test, only a later blood draw, and the client had no prior record. We obtained the dash and body camera videos, the blood kit paperwork, and the lab records, then scrutinized the roadside testing and the gap between arrest and the sample. Through negotiations, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke our client’s deferred probation, citing multiple out of state arrests and minor traffic matters while the client was living elsewhere. With an active no bond warrant outstanding, we coordinated with probation, prosecutors, and the client’s out of state counsel to avoid extradition delays and bring the case promptly before the court. We pressed the state on the proof it could actually present at a revocation hearing and negotiated to drop the out of state allegations. The client admitted to limited technical violations, remained on deferred probation with an extension, and the warrant was withdrawn.

Charge

Injury to a Child/Elderly/Disabled Person

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

The case began after a child in our client’s care arrived at school with minor marks and reported being disciplined with water, prompting a CPS referral and an arrest. Our client denied any intent to harm. We obtained the CPS file, school report, photos, and interviews, and compared them against the initial police narrative. The accounts conflicted on key points and the documented injury was minimal. We highlighted the caretaking context and the client’s clean history while challenging proof of intent. The state reduced the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

The client was found in a vehicle with a blown tire after a night out. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and, after consent, obtained a blood sample that the state later claimed was slightly above .15. We dug into the discovery, scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and analytical tolerances, and emphasized issues with the roadside testing along with the absence of any collision or injuries. The client completed alcohol education and an independent evaluation early. Using this mitigation and leverage, we secured a reduction to a lower grade offense with straight probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

After a street stop involving an electric scooter, officers searched the individual and said they found a small amount of a controlled substance in a pocket. The client denied ownership. We secured the body camera footage and police reports, then scrutinized the reason for the stop, the basis for the search, and how the evidence was handled. We presented these issues along with mitigation showing a plan for stability. The state agreed to deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence where the complainant said our client grabbed her by the neck and impeded her breathing. The case was built largely on that initial statement. We investigated the scene narrative, tracked down others who were present, and compared their accounts with the report. Those witness statements described a loud argument and conflicted with key parts of the accusation. Using the credibility issues we identified, we negotiated deferred probation and kept a felony conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The client was arrested in Williamson County for unauthorized use of a vehicle. We moved quickly to obtain the reports and full discovery. After comparing the timeline and chain of possession, we raised evidentiary concerns about whether the state could prove knowing operation without consent. We paired that with mitigation showing the client’s cooperation while the case was pending. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, and the court credited time already served, closing the matter.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance (First Degree Felony)

Location

Bell County, DC 426

Allegations

Prosecutors pursued a first degree manufacture or delivery case and pushed for a custodial treatment condition as part of probation. We obtained and reviewed the discovery, built a mitigation package, and emphasized the client's serious medical limitations and need for housing stability. We engaged probation and the state about community-based treatment options instead of a lock-in program. After persistent negotiations leading up to court, the state agreed to straight probation. The client avoided incarceration and can address treatment in the community.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Bell County, 426th District Court Bell

Allegations

Prosecutors alleged our client was involved in the distribution of a controlled substance. During negotiations, probation pushed for an in-custody treatment requirement as a condition. We gathered medical documentation and detailed how custody would endanger the client's health, housing, and essential benefits. We engaged the prosecutor to confirm terms and advocated for a plan the client could safely complete. The matter concluded with a plea to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

After a minor crash, the client was found outside a running vehicle that had become locked with the keys inside. First responders checked on him, officers arrived, claimed an odor of alcohol, and had him perform field tests. He denied recent drinking and refused both breath and blood testing. We dissected the reports, built a precise timeline showing a gap between any driving and police contact, and challenged proof of operation and intoxication without a chemical result. Faced with those weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.
