Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

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

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

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

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

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

The case began with a traffic stop where officers cited an air freshener or a minor equipment issue, then searched the vehicle without consent and claimed to find methamphetamine. We obtained and reviewed the dashcam, bodycam, and reports, comparing what was said to what actually occurred on video. The footage showed the stop lacked a valid legal basis and the search flowed directly from it. We filed a motion to suppress all evidence stemming from the stop and argued it in court. The motion was granted and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Our client was pulled over after a patrol unit tailed the vehicle, first citing an air freshener near the mirror, then a cracked light, then an alleged improper turn. Officers proceeded to search without consent and only afterward obtained statements. We obtained every bodycam, dashcam, and report and mapped the shifting reasons for the stop, along with footage showing the item did not obstruct the view. We filed a motion to suppress the stop and search and set it for hearing. Faced with those defects, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Medina County, Justice of Peace, Precinct 2

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to repeated welfare checks, and the client was arrested and cited for Class C assault by contact after officers alleged minor offensive contact with water. We obtained the police reports and video discovery and built context showing no injuries and that the detention stemmed from multiple calls rather than a clear assault. We preserved the client’s recordings and other items demonstrating how minimal the contact was. We presented those issues to the prosecutor. The complaining witness told the state they did not wish to proceed, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

An online sting led to brief text exchanges and an arrest at a hotel. The messages never spelled out specific sexual acts or a clear sex for money agreement, and in a recorded interview the client did not admit one. We obtained the reports, body cam footage, and the full text thread, then highlighted the missing elements the state needed to prove. We also presented strong mitigation and documented serious immigration consequences. After sustained negotiations focused on these evidentiary gaps, the prosecutor dismissed the case. No plea and no probation, with eligibility for expunction in time.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state moved to revoke after a new arrest for alleged possession of a small amount of narcotics at a local venue. The petition sought prison time. We pulled the full probation file, verified months of compliance and program completions, and gathered mitigation about a recent family loss and the client’s effort to address addiction. We met with the prosecutor, challenged the requested term, and advocated for a limited sanction. The court agreed to a reduced disposition and credited all custody as time served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was arrested based on the complainant’s statement and a brief remark in the patrol car about having put hands on them. We engaged immediately, tracked the matter before filing, and opened respectful communication with the complainant. The complainant later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We also assembled mitigation, including proof of ongoing counseling. Given the state of the evidence and our mitigation package, the prosecution declined to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance after a neighbor called 911, and our client was arrested after the complainant alleged choking and officers noted neck redness. Early on, the complainant was unwilling to cooperate. The client had cell phone video showing the complainant attacking and blocking the exit while the client pleaded to leave, footage officers refused to view at the scene. We preserved the footage, pulled apart the report, and pointed out the conflicts. With that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record if terms are completed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony probation near the end of the term, citing a rumored out‑of‑state theft warrant that was non‑extraditable and an earlier testing hiccup. We coordinated a planned surrender to control the bond process, pulled the probation records, and compiled proof of substantial compliance, including paid fees, completed classes, and recent clean tests. We challenged treating the out‑of‑state matter as a new offense and focused negotiations on what could be proven. The case resolved with a reduced sanction and credit for time served, securing the client’s release.
