Criminal Defense Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was asked to leave a local gym after an allegation of indecent exposure, and detectives began calling and later visited the residence. Before any interview occurred, we got involved and became the point of contact. We prepared the client, gathered context about the incident, and challenged the accusation during discussions with the investigator. With no statement from our client and after our communications with law enforcement and the prosecutor, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a minor rear-end collision. When the other driver began shouting, our client had a panic reaction and left the area, leaving the vehicle behind. No injuries were reported. We moved quickly to gather the tow and dispatch records, document the client's anxiety history, and reconstruct the timeline showing immediate efforts to secure the car. We presented this context and the absence of injury to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Travis County, Downtown Austin Community Court

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute after an argument at a residence escalated. Officers alleged our client punched and scratched a partner and kicked a family member who stepped in. The client reported acting in self defense after being restrained, and multiple witnesses confirmed both had been drinking and there was mutual combat. We gathered statements and supporting materials and presented them to the prosecutor. After negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation with classes and community service, keeping a conviction off the client’s record if completed.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

Security at a gated apartment complex reported our client in a restricted garage and linked them to a prior day encounter, claiming a weapon had been seen. Police contacted the client and later recovered a firearm from the vehicle. We moved quickly to gather context about why the client was there, addressed the security account with the prosecutor, and secured an offer to resolve the case through a short cognitive course. After the client completed the class and we submitted proof, the State dismissed the trespass charge.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for dim brake lights and a few miles over the limit, the client was investigated for DWI. They never admitted to drinking, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample that the state alleged was over .15. We obtained the police reports and discovery, questioned the basis for the stop and the administration of the tests, and highlighted the client's clean record. Through persistent negotiations and mitigation, the prosecutor agreed to pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bell County, 478th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police opened a stalking investigation after a tracking device was found on a former partner's vehicle, and a detective sought to question our client. We gathered the reports, digital records, and any device data the state claimed to have. Our review showed the case relied on circumstantial links with no direct proof of who installed the tracker. We pressed those evidentiary gaps, contextualized the relationship history, and negotiated with the prosecutor. The matter was resolved with deferred probation.
