Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Our client was found asleep in a parked vehicle with the engine running after a long workday. He acknowledged having a few drinks, then officers ran him through field sobriety tests twice. He believed he passed, and the breath machine produced multiple failed attempts. We gathered the video and reports, challenged the reliability of the testing and the fact the encounter began with a parked car rather than observed driving, and pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense.

Charge

Theft (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 26th Judicial District Court

Allegations

During a home renovation dispute, the client was accused of taking a deposit without completing the job. We gathered contracts, messages, and payment records showing most of the work was performed and that a substantial portion of funds went directly to independent contractors, not the client. We addressed a missed court setting, got the warrant recalled, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor. The complaining party's representative confirmed they did not want to pursue the case. Framing the matter as a civil contract issue, not theft, we secured a full dismissal.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Garland Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a Class C family violence citation after a domestic dispute over a personal item. The complainant alleged a scratch, but officers noted no visible injury and relied mainly on her statement. We got involved immediately, sent our representation, and pulled the 911 audio, bodycam, and reports. The client provided text messages from the complainant undermining the accusation and intent. We set the matter for trial and challenged the sufficiency of the evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Racing on Highway

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for high speed, our client was accused of racing another car on a multi-lane road. The other driver repeatedly passed, merged in front, then slowed, and our client changed lanes and continued driving before both vehicles were stopped by police. He expected a speeding citation, but was arrested for racing. We scrutinized the officers' reports and pressed the state on proof of any agreement or coordinated race. With no credible evidence beyond parallel speeding and a disputed interpretation of events, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Late at night, the client dozed off at a traffic light and was arrested for a second DWI. They reported only a couple of beers after a long workday with little sleep, and declined a breath test. Marijuana was in the vehicle, but no separate charge followed. We obtained the discovery, emphasized the role of fatigue, and highlighted the absence of a breath result while pressing weaknesses in the observations. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to a plea placing the client on probation.

Charge

Fleeing a Police Officer

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Police accused the client of fleeing after an attempted traffic stop near a residence. The client maintained that no emergency lights or siren were activated. We obtained home security video showing the patrol vehicle trailing without lights moments after the client passed, then pressed for dash and bodycam and compared them to the report. The inconsistencies undercut the allegation that the client knowingly evaded. Using that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation with reduced financial terms, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a parking lot, not during a traffic stop. Field sobriety tests were conducted despite medical limitations, and the client initially refused a blood draw before officers obtained a sample several hours later. We emphasized the lack of observed driving, the delayed blood evidence, and issues visible on the testing video. After sustained negotiations built around those weaknesses and the client’s circumstances, the case was resolved with a term of probation.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was charged after a minor two vehicle collision where officers alleged they left before exchanging information. We moved quickly to collect the crash report, insurance confirmations, and repair estimates showing the other driver's damage was covered. Our team verified there were no injuries and arranged restitution for any out of pocket deductible. We delivered the documentation to the prosecutor and pressed for a noncriminal resolution. With the civil loss made whole, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 232nd DC

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a prior case when an out of state detention flagged a probation warrant for alleged violations, including failing to report, leaving the jurisdiction, unpaid fees, and a positive test that matched a prescribed medication. We obtained the violation packet, coordinated with probation and the court to lift the hold, and compiled records showing a valid prescription and documented housing and financial instability. We pressed the prosecutor on proof of willful noncompliance and presented the mitigating evidence. The State dismissed the revocation and the matter was closed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

After a dispute over a bar tab, staff called police. The client had already pulled over when officers arrived, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample under .15. We obtained the reports and any video, scrutinized how the tests were given, and emphasized her clean history and cooperation. We also lined up alcohol education and an evaluation to reduce conditions and pursue an interlock waiver. The prosecution agreed to deferred probation, preserving the chance to keep a conviction off her record.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging violations. We pulled the probation file, scrutinized the violation report, and compiled documentation showing meaningful steps toward compliance. Armed with that record, we pressed negotiations to narrow the allegations and to credit time already spent in custody. The state agreed to reduce the sanction. The court accepted a plea with credit for time served, and the matter was closed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, 428th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client faced a revocation filing after alleged violations tied to a separate incident. We engaged immediately with community supervision and the prosecutor, secured a fresh substance-use evaluation, and assembled records showing ongoing compliance and progress in treatment. We pushed for an outpatient plan rather than any custodial sanction and asked that punitive action be paused while we supplied documentation. After reviewing our materials, the State backed off and the court dismissed the revocation.
