Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation when a motion to adjudicate was filed, citing a missed test and multiple ignition interlock violations. We moved fast to arrange a safe surrender on the preset bond, minimizing custody time. Our team engaged pretrial to clear up SCRAM and portable monitor requests, advocated to have the existing calibrated interlock recognized, and documented battery-related flags. We gathered proof of completed classes and clean screenings and presented it to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the revocation and closed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Allegations

A former partner obtained a protective order and later accused our client of family-violence strangulation. There had been no 911 call or on-scene police response, and the client only learned of a warrant during a later traffic stop. We obtained the case file and scrutinized the basis for the charge, noting it rested on statements alone with no contemporaneous officer observations or other corroboration. We presented these evidentiary gaps to the prosecution and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

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

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 - 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

Public Intoxication

Location

Collin County, McKinney Municipal Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for public intoxication outside a nightclub after security escorted him out. We reviewed the body camera footage, evaluated the risks of trial, and prioritized keeping his record clean given his immigration concerns. We pressed the prosecutor for a path to dismissal and secured a conditional agreement. The client completed an eight hour alcohol awareness course and documented attendance at ten AA meetings within the required window, with no new incidents. At the next setting, we submitted proof of completion, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Montgomery County, JP4

Allegations

Police responded to a neighbor’s complaint near a residence and cited our client for public intoxication, later taking her first to a hospital and then to jail. We filed into the case, demanded the reports and bodycam, and focused on whether the state could prove she was in a public place or a danger to herself or others given the incident occurred on or near private property. We also documented her prompt mental health treatment and clean history. After pressing these issues with the prosecutor, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

Police charged our client with Class C assault by contact after a late-night roommate dispute at a residence. The disagreement began when the client tried to stop the other person from driving after drinking, and a brief scuffle followed with no bodily injury. Paramedics were called for a separate finger injury to a third party, but the citation focused only on the alleged offensive contact. We entered the case, demanded body-cam and reports, and highlighted the disputed accounts, lack of injury, and context. With the record too thin to prove the elements at trial and our team prepared to proceed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when the State filed a motion to revoke after a treatment provider discharged him because he attended sessions while traveling for work. We compiled emails with probation, proof of class participation, and payment records to show the noncompliance stemmed from program restrictions, not willful refusal. We met with the prosecutor and court staff, challenged the breadth of the alleged violations, and pressed for credit on prior custody. The State agreed to reduce the sanction, and the court resolved the case as time served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a heated argument at a residence, a 911 call led to our client’s arrest for family violence. With no prior record, the client reported confusion and blackout symptoms tied to a recent medication change. A stay-away order and drug testing followed. We gathered the surrounding context and pressed the self-defense angle while the client remained compliant. In negotiations, we secured a path to dismissal conditioned on completing a short online course. The state dismissed the case, ending the matter.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Vehicle

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged our client fled on a small motorized cart during an encounter and later tried to run, leading to a felony evading charge. We pulled the bodycam, dispatch logs, and written reports and mapped the timeline against the officer’s narrative. The video showed no clear, continuous pursuit with lights and sirens and raised real doubt about any intent to evade. We also challenged whether the device at issue fit the statute for a vehicle-based felony. Confronted with those evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Fort Bend County, Katy Municipal Court

Allegations

After a roadside confrontation, our client received a Class C assault citation alleging spitting. The officer never interviewed the client and issued the ticket days later based largely on a brief porch conversation with a third party. We requested the police report and 911 records, noted that the complainant did not seek charges, and underscored that any contact was disputed and unintentional amid a chaotic encounter. We engaged the prosecutor early, presented the evidentiary gaps, and negotiated deferred adjudication. The case resolved without a conviction.
