Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After an equipment failure caused the client’s wheel to come off and airbags to deploy, officers arrived and conducted field sobriety tests. The client reported two drinks, felt tired and in pain, and asked for clarification during tests the officer poorly demonstrated. We secured dash and body camera video and hospital records, then scrutinized the blood draw and supporting paperwork for protocol issues. Citing the crash dynamics, injuries, and questionable FST administration, we pressed the state on proof. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a final conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument in a car, based largely on the partner’s claim of being struck. We dug in fast, securing doorbell video from a neighbor, phone logs showing repeated call attempts, and statements from witnesses who overheard the dispute. We compared that evidence to the complainant’s versions and documented major inconsistencies, along with messages he sent after the arrest. Faced with credibility problems and a noncooperative complainant, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a heated argument in a vehicle, relying mostly on the complainant’s account. We moved quickly, notified the court, obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, reports and photos, and addressed an emergency protective order. The case materials reflected admissions about damaging property and her own use of force, and her story shifted over time. She later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented along with documentation of separate pending cases affecting her credibility. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Montgomery County, JP3

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence after neighbors called 911 about loud arguing, and our client was charged with Class C family violence. Our review of the 911 audio and reports showed the case rested on a neighbor’s account while the complainant consistently said no assault occurred. We assembled an affidavit from the complainant, character letters, and proof the client completed counseling classes. We pressed the State on credibility and the lack of bodily injury and sought relief from restrictive conditions. The prosecutor ultimately agreed, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

Our client was arrested for DWI after a collision, with officers citing signs of intoxication and containers found in the vehicle. Because the client was taken to a hospital, no roadside field sobriety tests were done, leaving the case to rest on paperwork and statements. We pulled the crash report and citation history and compared them with the officers’ accounts, finding key contradictions, including a ticket alleging no headlights while witnesses reported seeing headlights just before impact. We emphasized those inconsistencies and the lack of standardized testing, and challenged probable cause. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Williamson County, 512th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of assaulting a healthcare worker during a chaotic hospital visit while in severe, documented pain. Our team obtained medical records detailing recent surgeries and chronic conditions, and we verified prescribed pain medications to explain monitoring test results. We scrutinized the police reports and framed the incident around the client’s medical crisis rather than an intent to harm. We also showed consistent compliance with bond conditions, including alcohol monitoring and drug testing. After persistent negotiation, the felony was reduced to a lower offense with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police were called after someone reported a vehicle door left open. Officers contacted our client in a parked truck with the engine on and hazards, then conducted field sobriety tests. He explained a bad knee that affected his balance, and later gave a breath sample over 0.15. We highlighted that the encounter began as a welfare check and that he was stationary when found. We pressed the reliability of the balance tests in light of his injury and the limited driving evidence. The state agreed to deferred adjudication, resolving the matter with probation terms instead of a conviction.

Charge

Lewdness

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #9

Allegations

The client was accused of lewdness after an alleged incident reported to police. Our team obtained the reports and any available recordings and dissected the accounts for inconsistencies. We challenged whether the conduct, as described, satisfied the elements of the statute and questioned the reliability of the identification and intent evidence. We presented these weaknesses to the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, Wylie Municipal Court

Allegations

During a store self-checkout, loss prevention detained our client, claiming a few low‑dollar items were missed. The client had already asked an employee to review the receipt and later received a refund for a duplicate charge that exceeded the alleged loss. We obtained the available surveillance and body‑worn camera footage, plus receipts and refund records, and demanded production of all angles. We showed the evidence did not prove intent to steal and that the valuation was unreliable. Facing those weaknesses and our readiness for trial, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The incident began at a medical facility, where our client, in severe pain and under active treatment, was taken into custody and accused of resisting arrest, search, or transport. We obtained the officer reports and bodycam, and compiled medical records documenting significant injuries, prescriptions, and mobility limitations. The footage and records raised serious doubt that she intentionally impeded officers or used force. We presented these issues to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

The client was pulled over after an alleged failure to maintain a single lane and admitted to having drinks. Officers conducted roadside testing, obtained a blood warrant, and later reported a high BAC. We gathered the patrol video, body cam, and the 911 recording that directed officers to the vehicle, and scrutinized the legality of the stop and the timing of the blood draw. Given the strength of parts of the evidence, we leveraged the issues we found, the client's cooperation, and clean history in negotiations. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, and the court accepted a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #9

Allegations

After a traffic crash, the client was taken to a hospital where an officer tried to conduct field sobriety testing in the ER. The client refused a breath test, but hospital blood drawn for treatment later indicated a very high alcohol concentration and a THC screen. We stepped in early, arranged a walkthrough and PR release, and secured compliance with counseling and a portable alcohol monitor. We compiled medical and mental health records and insurance documentation for the crash, then presented a strong mitigation package to the prosecutor. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.
