Assault Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

Injury to a Child/Elderly/Disabled Individual

Location

Williamson County, 26th DC

Allegations

Our client was arrested for felony injury to a child after a household discipline incident led to claims of facial trauma. We moved quickly to address restrictive bond conditions, then obtained hospital records showing no serious injury and documented shifts in the complainant’s account. The family executed nonprosecution paperwork, which we presented alongside CPS updates. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the case to a misdemeanor with credit for time served, keeping a felony off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 299TH

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence that escalated when a firearm was allegedly involved. Police responded to a 911 call, documented visible injuries, and recorded bodycam video, and EMS memorialized statements the State intended to use. We obtained the footage and reports, clarified the sequence of events, and highlighted context that favored our client. The complainant later indicated they did not wish to pursue the case, which we used in negotiations. After sustained discussions with the prosecution, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off our client's record.

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

Officers obtained a warrant months after a domestic argument at a shared residence, then arrested our client. The charging paperwork listed a different offense date than the initial report, and the accounts of what happened were disputed. We compiled statements showing the complainant did not wish to pursue the case and documented the timeline problems. We moved to ease the no contact bond terms so the client could manage housing and negotiated a limited community service condition. The state dismissed the case.

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 450th District Court

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute when a spouse reported being pushed and mentioned a pair of scissors. We moved in early, secured the case materials, and compared the complainant’s account with that of a relative who was present. We challenged whether the facts actually established use or exhibition of a deadly weapon and pressed the gaps in the state’s proof. We also documented the client’s entry into inpatient treatment and compliance with bond conditions. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 450th District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument involving alcohol, alleging a pair of scissors was used as a deadly weapon. We got in early, tracked the grand jury setting, and pushed for complete discovery. While the client entered treatment and followed bond conditions, we reviewed the reports and recordings as they were produced. Our review exposed weak proof on how the alleged weapon was used and raised serious questions about the reliability of the initial account. We presented those issues and mitigation to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Travis County, 403rd District Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence when the client went to pick up personal items. Officers separated the parties after the complainant alleged her neck was grabbed. We secured the body camera video, 911 audio, and photographs, which reflected only mild redness, no transport by EMS, and conflicting accounts about who initiated contact. We leveraged those evidentiary gaps, the lack of significant injury, and the client’s commitment to counseling to push for a rehabilitative outcome. The result was deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Continuous Violence Against the Family

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

The client was charged after an ex-partner reported multiple incidents spread over time following the end of the relationship. The case relied largely on the complainant’s statements and a later phone seizure. We obtained the reports and relevant digital communications and compared them to the initial narrative. The timeline and details conflicted, and we documented the complainant’s outreach to third parties about pressing additional accusations. We brought those credibility problems to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Allegations

At a school campus, a staff member pulled our client from class for a meeting with an officer. The client panicked and ran. The staffer chased and tackled him, later claiming injury, and prosecutors filed Assault on a Public Servant. We secured campus video and reports showing the client never struck anyone and that contact began with the staff member’s takedown. We challenged whether the elements of assault were met and raised serious questions about the employee’s authority to use force. The state dismissed the case.

The communications and timeline raised credibility concerns about the accusation. After we presented those issues to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.
