Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Bell County, 264th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a dispute at a residence where the client was accused of threatening another person with a weapon. The accusation relied heavily on a single version of events that changed over time. We gathered text messages and third party accounts that undercut key details and showed a motive to exaggerate. We organized those inconsistencies, challenged the lack of corroborating evidence, and made clear we were ready to litigate credibility at hearing or trial. The prosecution agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police alleged our client took money through a payment app to buy event tickets and never delivered. We obtained the app records and message history and showed that one transfer lacked any intent to defraud, narrowing the case to a single transaction. We arranged for restitution to be paid up front and pressed the State on proof of intent at the moment of the transfer. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge and recommend a short jail term. The court credited the client with time already served, and the case closed the same day.

We emphasized mutual injuries and the complaining witness's wish not to prosecute and pressed the State on the reliability of the initial account. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle

Location

Bell County, CC2

Allegations

Officers alleged our client left the scene after a minor collision that resulted in vehicle damage. Months after the incident, an arrest warrant issued and the client was taken into custody. We scrutinized the police report and case file, focusing on whether the elements of the offense were actually met. We presented our analysis to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate the issues. The state dismissed the case.

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.
