Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bell County, 426th Judicial District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation for a drug case, the client faced a motion to revoke after a new arrest in another jurisdiction and disputed claims about community service and fees. We gathered proof of compliance, including completion certificates from inpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, documentation of aftercare, and receipts showing fines paid. After a brief relapse, we secured immediate reentry into treatment and provided progress updates. Armed with this rehabilitation record, we pushed for a measured outcome. The court reduced the sanction and credited time served, closing the case without further jail.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation

Location

Hays County, 274th District Court

Allegations

The client was picked up on an old warrant from a domestic dispute involving a former partner. Officers alleged strangulation after noting the complainant’s red eyes, but there were no documented injuries, and both accounts reportedly aligned that the contact was a push during an argument. We scrutinized the state’s reports for any proof of impeded breathing and found the evidence thin. We compiled those weaknesses and credibility issues and presented them to the prosecutor. Unable to reliably prove the essential elements, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention With a Vehicle

Location

Brazoria County, 149th DC

Allegations

Police accused our client of evading in a motor vehicle after a traffic stop. He pulled over when the emergency lights came on, then inched forward to find a safer spot in a narrow lane, which escalated the encounter and led to an arrest. We obtained and reviewed the patrol car and body camera footage, radio traffic, and reports. The video showed no flight, no pursuit, and unclear commands while the officer initially stayed in the car. We prepared to challenge the intent to flee element and the reasonableness of moving for safety. After presenting these issues to the prosecutor, the felony was dismissed.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor theft after an older work-issued laptop surfaced outside the workplace and an online listing mentioned a computer part allegedly tied to the same employer. We got involved early, opened dialogue with the investigator to manage any warrant issues, and compiled context showing the laptop was inadvertently packed with someone else’s belongings. We also challenged valuation, emphasizing the device’s age and minimal resale range. With weak proof of intent and questionable value, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court #5

Allegations

The client learned about an old misdemeanor theft warrant tied to a store incident where they had occasionally helped out, not as a regular employee. We pulled the reports and evidence and found multiple weaknesses, including a delayed complaint, gaps in the alleged timeline, confusion from a name change, and a missing recording of a witness interview that tended to implicate someone else. We put those issues in front of the prosecutor, pressed for an interest of justice resolution, and kept the pressure on. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Fort Bend County, Katy Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after a confrontation in a crowded parking area. She was a passenger, stepped out to defuse an argument, and was struck by others before officers arrived. No field sobriety tests or breath tests were performed, and the other group left. We pushed for the officer’s reports and recordings, questioned whether the legal elements were met, and highlighted that our client was the one assaulted. The case concluded with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off her record.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

An online marketplace meetup went sideways when the client picked up a small household item and headed to withdraw cash, but the seller left before payment could be completed. A warrant issued and the case was filed. We got involved immediately, coordinated a safe plan to clear the warrant, and obtained discovery. We gathered proof of the cash withdrawal and framed the incident as a misunderstanding, with the client ready to make the seller whole. After negotiations with the prosecutor, the case resolved in deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Late at night, an officer came upon our client after a single-vehicle motorcycle wreck in heavy rain. Field sobriety tests were administered even though the client had just been injured. The client declined a roadside breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital hours later under a warrant. We reviewed the video and reports, highlighted the unreliable testing conditions, questioned the basis for detention, and emphasized the delay separating the blood result from driving. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transport

Location

Guadalupe County, County Court at Law # 2

Allegations

The case began as a welfare check during a mental health crisis at a residence. The client remained inside for a period, and when contact was finally made officers entered quickly, he was injured, and a misdemeanor resisting charge followed. We obtained a sworn statement from the spouse and medical documentation confirming a bona fide crisis, and closely examined the report’s description of any supposed resistance. We emphasized there were no threats to others and that any delayed compliance stemmed from a medical episode. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

Police were called to a parking lot after a minor vehicle contact. Officers performed only a pen and eye test while the individual remained seated, noted no head movement, then arrested for DWI and obtained a consensual blood draw. We obtained dispatch recordings, dash and body camera video, and lab records, and documented medical limitations that could affect any field testing. The blood result was very low and did not corroborate impairment. After we presented these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Officers encountered the client after a single-car crash while he tried to steer around an existing wreck marked by flares, with friends in the vehicle. He declined a roadside breath test and, after field sobriety exercises, was taken in for a blood draw conducted hours later. We obtained the bodycam, reports, and lab documentation, emphasizing the chaotic crash setting, the officer’s quick conclusions, and the long delay before the sample. We challenged chain of custody and analytical reliability. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser charge.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 3

Allegations

The client was involved in a traffic crash. Officers reported alcohol indicators and, while processing the scene, found a lawfully owned handgun and filed a UCW charge. We obtained the police reports, analyzed the elements, and showed there was no independent unlawful conduct with the weapon. We also highlighted that the UCW count depended entirely on an unresolved intoxication allegation. After sustained negotiations and notice that we were prepared to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the weapon charge.
