Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

Following a family dispute over custody, our client was arrested on a felony stalking warrant based on a series of messages the complainant characterized as threatening. We pulled the full communication history from the co‑parenting app, mapped the timeline against existing family court orders, and separated emotional but lawful contact from anything the state might call harassment. We also documented the client's treatment efforts and sobriety. Using that mitigation, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction if completed.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court at Law No. 2

Allegations

Police opened a case after workplace chatter was reported as a mass violence threat. The client had never communicated any threat to the named person, who was unaware of it. After the detective tried to secure an admission, the client ended the interview and was later arrested. We obtained discovery showing only coworker statements, with conflicting details and no corroborating evidence. We challenged the lack of an imminent threat and credibility problems, pressed the case toward trial, and moved to ease bond terms. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After striking debris on the roadway, the client continued driving on a damaged tire and was stopped by police. The client acknowledged having a few drinks, completed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample over the legal limit. We focused negotiations on the fact that the unusual driving stemmed from a mechanical issue, not impairment, and noted that one of the officers present was in training during the roadside testing. We emphasized the client’s clean history and cooperation. The prosecutor agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Williamson County, DC 26

Allegations

The case stemmed from an incident at a residence where a firearm accidentally discharged, injuring our client's hand. A roommate reported that the gun had been pointed at them, leading to an aggravated assault charge, which our client denied. With no prior record and hospital treatment for the hand wound after the accidental discharge, we focused negotiations on lack of intent and safety concerns. We guided the client through addressing the warrant and court process while communicating with the complainant and the state. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to resolve the case with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a minor fender bender, our client exchanged insurance information and waited for police. Officers questioned the client about prescription medications, requested sobriety tests, and the client declined. The client consented to a vehicle search, which turned up nothing illegal and only a cup of water. The state relied on officer observations rather than a breath result. We obtained the videos and reports, underscored the minimal damage, clean search, medication issues, and lack of standardized testing. Faced with those weaknesses, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

Police responded to reports of property tampering after a section of fence was removed to access equipment on private grounds. Officers did not arrest at the scene, instead transporting the individual for a mental health evaluation. When the case was later filed, it sat with little movement. We audited the record, confirmed there was no active warrant, gathered documentation of the mental health episode, and pressed the prosecution for proof supporting the charge. Faced with an old file and strong mitigation, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Lampasas County, None

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client was arrested after a domestic dispute and the state filed a motion to revoke. We got involved quickly, coordinated with probation, gathered proof of strict compliance since release, and compiled counseling attendance records and other mitigation. We emphasized the disputed nature of the new allegation and the absence of clear proof of a willful violation. After sustained negotiations, the state dismissed the motion. The client stayed on track and avoided jail.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Lampasas County, CCL

Allegations

After a domestic argument, the complainant said our client tossed a lunch bag that struck him while he was filming on his phone. Police viewed the phone clips and took a brief statement, then made an arrest. We addressed those recordings in negotiations, documented that the complainant opposed a protective order and did not wish to pursue the case, and secured proof of the client’s immediate counseling compliance. We emphasized the lack of injury and the mutual nature of the dispute, undermining intent. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Comal County, None

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a minor registration issue, officers claimed an odor of marijuana and found a very small amount of plant material with retail packaging labeled THCA. The client consistently maintained it was a legal hemp-derived product, not illegal marijuana. We obtained the reports and video, scrutinized the basis for the search, and focused on the identity of the substance. We pressed the state to produce reliable lab testing and flagged methods that can convert THCA to THC. Without conclusive proof of illegal THC, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Fort Bend County, 240th District Court

Allegations

During a heated domestic dispute in a parking area, the argument turned physical and both parties made contact. Our client reported being struck and momentarily blacking out, and when she recovered she had a small knife from her vehicle in her hand. The complainant reported no injuries, and the allegation focused on brandishing. We obtained reports, identified potential bystander video, and documented the chaotic sequence and conflicting accounts. Using those weaknesses, we pressed the prosecutor to reconsider the charge. The case was reduced to a lesser offense, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, CC1

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was arrested for assault even though they insisted they acted in self-defense. We obtained the reports and highlighted that officers relied solely on the complainant’s account and ignored our client’s version, including prior incidents of aggression we documented. We raised those credibility issues with the prosecutor and made clear we were ready for trial. The state instead offered terms for dismissal, a brief online class and a few hours of community service. Our client completed them promptly and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence. From the start, the facts were contested, and the complainant later reported little to no memory of what happened. We documented our client's clean record, secured and presented proof of completed anger management counseling, and used those points in negotiations. The prosecutor agreed to dismiss the case after our client satisfied a charitable condition, bringing the matter to a close.
