Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court at Law No. 4

Allegations

Following a traffic stop, our client told the officer there was a firearm secured in the glove box. The officer searched the vehicle and recovered it, leading to an unlawful carrying charge. We challenged the basis for the stop and the scope of the search, noting the weapon was stored out of immediate reach and that there was no body camera audio to confirm key instructions. We reviewed the dash video and documented gaps in the evidence. After sustained pressure and suppression arguments, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 7

Allegations

The client was accused of a second DWI after leaving a tense gathering where others tried to start a fight. They drove a short distance toward home and were stopped, with no specific traffic violation stated, and officers removed them from the vehicle. Because it was cold and windy, they declined roadside tests but later provided a breath sample at the jail. We challenged the basis for the stop and developed a necessity theme showing they left to avoid harm. With that leverage, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence after a dropped 911 call. The client told officers there had been an argument and a slap, and was arrested for family violence even though no protective order issued and the parties resumed living together. We obtained the police reports, requested bodycam and the 911 audio, and documented that the case hinged on limited, disputed evidence. The complaining witness told prosecutors he did not want to proceed. We refused any plea requiring an admission and pushed for dismissal. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped for an expired registration, the client admitted to having drinks earlier and was asked to perform roadside sobriety tests while wearing heels. She consented to a vehicle search and later provided a breath sample. We scrutinized the officer’s instructions and the testing conditions, arguing the footwear and setup made the results unreliable. In parallel, we secured a pretrial diversion agreement that required classes, monitoring, and community service. The client completed the program, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Denton County, None

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an alleged wide turn, officers said they had an ongoing investigation and executed a search warrant at our client's home. The warrant relied on a confidential informant and included statements the client allegedly made during questioning. We obtained the affidavits, challenged the informant's reliability, and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the warrant's probable cause. We also raised Miranda and voluntariness issues regarding the statements. Facing these suppression arguments and evidentiary gaps, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Bodily Injury

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

After a heated moment at a recreational game, a confrontation in the bleachers turned into a brawl and our client was accused of assaulting two people. The client consistently maintained self defense. We obtained cell phone video of the melee and compared it to police reports and later interviews, highlighting gaps in identification and contradictions about who initiated contact. We secured witnesses who corroborated the client's account and prepared to litigate self defense. Confronted with inconsistent evidence and credibility issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A felony charge arose after a late-night hotel meet up that involved alcohol and several acquaintances. We obtained full discovery, including surveillance timestamps showing the client was in the room only briefly, and medical records that noted no documented injuries. We compiled major inconsistencies between the complainant’s initial account and later interviews, and highlighted timeline problems. We also reviewed the lab’s DNA materials and identified points to challenge in the documentation. After we prepared to bring these evidentiary issues to a hearing, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Continuous Violence Against the Family

Location

Travis County, 167th District Court

Allegations

Prosecutors filed a felony continuous family violence case after a domestic dispute at a residence. The complainant later alleged multiple incidents, but the initial arrest materials and photos showed no visible injury to her while documenting marks on the client. Only one police response was ever recorded. We compiled the 911 and body cam evidence, the complainant’s subsequent communications expressing she did not wish to pursue charges, and separate police reports showing she initiated later confrontations. Faced with these credibility and proof issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Travis County, 147TH DC

Allegations

The client was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon based on allegations about a firearm. We secured the police reports and discovery, examining how the item was located and documented. Our team analyzed whether the encounter complied with the law and whether the state could prove every element. We raised legal and evidentiary concerns with the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to challenge admissibility issues in court. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault with Bodily Injury

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6 (was transferred out of CC7)

Allegations

Police arrested our client after an incident where another person alleged injury. We pulled the police reports and available recordings and compared each version of events carefully. Our review exposed inconsistencies and weaknesses in how bodily injury was documented and corroborated. We presented those issues to the prosecutor and prepared to litigate, keeping pressure on at every setting. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 277th DC

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision and conducted field sobriety tests, then arrested our client for DWI. The client declined breath testing, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. With prior DWI history elevating the stakes, we moved quickly to obtain all discovery, scrutinized the reports, video, and the blood-draw paperwork, and assembled mitigation documenting treatment efforts. After persistent negotiations with the prosecution, the case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Probation sought to revoke our client’s deferred adjudication after a new misdemeanor arrest and a missed reporting date. We moved quickly, coordinated surrender and bond, and obtained the supervision file and arrest records. We compiled proof of substantial compliance, including completed community service and ongoing payments, and highlighted the limited, non-injury nature of the traffic incident underlying the new case. After presenting this mitigation and pushing for alternatives to revocation, the motion was dismissed.
