Criminal Defense Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

During a residential visit, a dispute led to a 911 report that our client had brandished a firearm, and he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We moved quickly to gather all recordings, pulling the client’s own camera footage along with body-worn video and third-party clips. Comparing those videos to the initial statements revealed major inconsistencies and did not corroborate any assaultive use of a weapon. We compiled a detailed timeline and challenged the credibility of the allegation. Confronted with the evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a fast food drive-thru with the vehicle in park. After roadside tests, they were arrested and later provided two breath samples over .15. We obtained the videos and breath records, noted the limited driving evidence, and compiled strong mitigation including early completion of alcohol education and a victim impact panel, plus a clean history. We pressed these points with the prosecutor and negotiated a reduction to a standard DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a no-contact order was issued in connection with a prior incident, our client was accused of violating it by allegedly reaching out to the protected person.

We then compared those terms to the state's evidence of contact and identified gaps and inconsistencies in their timeline and proof. We made clear we were ready to litigate those issues. The prosecution dismissed the case.
