Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, our client was hit with a motion to revoke alleging contact with a protected party and small unpaid fees. The client had been following a standing custody order that allowed child-related contact, but probation paperwork contained conflicting language. We obtained the probation terms, the family court order, and the reporting history, then compared them line by line. We showed the prosecutor that the alleged violation stemmed from ambiguous conditions and that the fee issues were minor and curable. With those weaknesses exposed and no clear willful breach, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County

Allegations

Our client returned to a campsite to give a statement after a disturbance and was parked at the entrance when officers made contact. The first officer took statements and noted nothing unusual, but a later arriving officer claimed an alcohol odor, conducted field sobriety tests, and made an arrest. No one observed the client driving, the vehicle was stationary throughout. We highlighted the absence of driving facts and the inconsistent observations and obtained confirmation that the blood result was below the legal limit. Confronted with those weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

A family violence assault charge followed a turbulent breakup where the complainant reported bruising and showed a heated text. The client explained the messages were taken out of context from consensual rough intimacy. We collected the full text threads, prior call-for-service records, and medical paperwork reflecting self-harm, and built a clear timeline exposing credibility gaps. Using that leverage, we pressed the prosecutor and secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

After a single vehicle curb strike, a passerby called 911 and officers arrived to investigate. The client admitted to a few drinks, declined roadside tests, and was taken for a blood draw under a warrant after a notable delay. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, and hospital records and scrutinized the timeline, the investigative steps, and the chain of custody for the sample. We also emphasized the absence of a traditional traffic stop and the client’s prompt compliance with bond conditions. With those issues on the table, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Denton County

Allegations

Police contacted the client while parked at a park entrance to provide a statement about an unrelated disturbance. After a different officer initiated an alcohol investigation and made an arrest, a pat down of the passenger led to questions about weapons, and the passenger disclosed an unloaded pistol in the center console. We gathered the reports and highlighted that the gun was voluntarily disclosed and found only after the arrest, with no independent weapons basis. We also presented the blood result below the legal limit. The prosecutor dismissed the UCW.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

Stopped for speeding and lane drift, the client was arrested for DWI after roadside tests. We pulled the dash and bodycam and found the officer struggled with instructions and even acknowledged errors on the eye test. The client refused breath and blood, so police obtained a warrant and drew blood several hours later, showing 0.08. We emphasized the flawed test administration, the delay before the draw, and a recent concussion that could affect balance. Confronted with these weaknesses, the state agreed to deferred adjudication with standard terms.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after an altercation at a private residence. The other person showed no bodily injury, while our client was taken by ambulance with visible trauma. We obtained medical records, photos from the hospital and officers, and statements from witnesses who described the other party as the aggressor. We advanced a self defense theory and highlighted inconsistencies in the complainant’s account and the lack of corroborating evidence. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, CC5

Allegations

After a night out, the client pulled over near a roadside barrier when they felt sick. Officers arrived after a third party reported a major crash, then claimed an accident and later obtained a blood draw by warrant. The client recovered the car from impound with no damage and reported an open container in the center console. We gathered bodycam, the client’s photos from the tow lot, and the lab paperwork, challenged the accident story, and scrutinized the blood testing while presenting mitigation. The case resolved as deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Allegations

After a minor traffic stop for positioning at a stop line, officers conducted field sobriety tests and arrested our client for DWI, impounding the vehicle despite a sober passenger. No breath test was taken at the scene, and a blood sample was drawn. We obtained the police reports and bodycam footage and documented the client’s longstanding processing and eye conditions that can affect FSTs. The lab reported no alcohol in the blood. We presented this to the prosecutor, who declined to proceed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Motion for Early Termination of Probation

Location

Travis County, 427th District Court

Allegations

On deferred community supervision, the client asked us to seek early termination after completing program requirements and staying out of trouble. We drafted and filed a thorough petition and attached records showing compliance, fees, and classes. We opened dialogue with the prosecutor to identify and resolve any anticipated objections. While the motion was pending, we advised the client to remain current with all obligations and handled the court appearance. The court granted early termination, discharged supervision, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged illegal U-turn, the client admitted to drinking. Officers administered field sobriety tests and a breath test that read over 0.15, resulting in an arrest. We obtained the patrol video, police reports, and breath-test records, then scrutinized the legal basis for the stop and how the tests were conducted. We raised evidentiary concerns and made clear we were prepared to litigate. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC3

Allegations

Stopped moments after leaving a venue, our client was arrested for DWI. He gave a breath sample, then officers drew blood at the jail despite him not consenting. When the lab later reported a borderline 0.08, prosecutors floated a combined-intoxication theory even though no drug recognition exam was done. We pressed for the dash and body camera video and the full lab file, dissected the basis for the stop, and challenged the reliability and handling of the blood and toxicology. Faced with a weak stop, a rising BAC timeline, and shaky evidence, the state dismissed the case.
