Criminal Defense Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, officers alleged the client took a phone and prevented a call for help. We secured the bodycam and police reports, built a timeline, and compared the initial on scene statements to later write ups. The state’s theory of interference rested on a single, disputed account with little corroboration and no independent witness. We highlighted those proof problems and made clear we were ready for a contested hearing. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid (With Previous Conviction and No Insurance)

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

Police alleged the client was driving on an invalid license with a prior DWLI on record and without proof of financial responsibility. We obtained the state’s file, pulled the certified driving record, and compared it to the paperwork the officer relied on. We also collected documentation relevant to insurance status and suspension notice. After we highlighted proof problems and made clear we were prepared to litigate the case, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Invasive Visual Recording

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

The case arose from an allegation that a private intimate video was recorded and then shared without consent. Early reports suggested the clip was broadly circulated. Our team secured the device data and message threads, which demonstrated a limited transmission and added crucial context. We compiled that evidence, presented mitigation, and pressed the prosecution on proof issues. The matter was resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record so long as all terms are completed.

Charge

Invasive Visual Recording

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

The client was accused of invasive visual recording after investigators recovered an intimate video and related messages during a domestic investigation. We obtained the digital evidence, reviewed the clip in full, and compared it to the reporting officer’s narrative. Context from the message thread and time stamps undermined key assumptions about how and when the recording was made. We presented those evidentiary problems to the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the invasive visual recording charge.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was accused of an aggravated sexual assault. The state relied on a short video clip and the complainant’s later statements. We obtained the surrounding messages, including conversations with a third party, which undercut the allegation and showed shifting explanations for not contacting police. We matched those with the recording and highlighted material inconsistencies. We also documented the client’s steady employment and cooperation. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

After an emergency protective order was issued following a domestic dispute, our client was accused of violating it by making phone calls and sending texts to the complainant. We pulled the jail call recordings and messaging logs and compared them against the terms of the order. The communications were limited to child-related logistics and contained no threats or harassment. We organized this context and pressed the state on its ability to prove a knowing, prohibited contact. Faced with those proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Bell, TX

Allegations

After a late night ride, our client lost control of a motorcycle at a dead end. A bystander stopped to help, but when an officer approached on foot and asked for ID, the client, dazed from a head impact, panicked and left. The state filed a felony evading with a vehicle charge. We obtained and reviewed the video, compiled mitigation on steady employment and community service, and addressed restitution by confirming medical bills were paid through a civil settlement. After the presentence process, we secured deferred adjudication probation, avoiding a conviction.
