Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after officers contacted him in a hotel lobby and sidewalk area following a reported disturbance at a nearby restaurant. We obtained the officers' bodycam and asked the location to preserve its surveillance. The footage showed he spoke clearly, walked normally, and repeatedly said he was not leaving, contradicting the report that claimed he was a danger to himself or others. We highlighted those inconsistencies and pressed the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police stopped the individual after minor traffic infractions and made a DWI arrest. At roadside the officer performed only the eye test, the client declined balance tests because of a leg injury, and later refused a breath sample. A warrant blood draw registered about 0.098. We secured the video, noted differences between the roadside explanation and the report, and highlighted test limitations and the timing of the draw. Facing those issues, the prosecution reduced the charge to Obstruction of a Highway with deferred probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 379th District Court

Allegations

While on felony community supervision for a prior drug case, the client was cited twice in another county for driving with an invalid license, and probation also alleged two positive UAs. After a warrant issued, we got a bond set and arranged processing through the satellite bonding office to minimize custody time. We met with the prosecutor and probation, presented recent clean tests and proof of enrollment in the class needed to regain a license. The court accepted our proposal, reinstating the client on deferred adjudication with heightened testing instead of adjudication.

Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court.

Allegations

An injury to an elderly individual allegation arose after a confrontation near an open area where a man confronted our client and a companion, threatened violence, and initiated contact. We canvassed nearby homes and secured video showing the complainant push first and later grab our client. When we compared the footage to police reports and witness statements, the stories did not match. Using those credibility problems, we pressed the prosecution to reduce the case to a lesser charge with deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

After a multi-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI and documented an open container in the vehicle. We dug into the police paperwork and crash details, focusing on how the investigation was conducted and the fact there were no reported injuries or added charges from the wreck. We highlighted the ambiguity around who possessed the container and pressed the state on proof of impairment versus accident dynamics. Through negotiation, the case resolved in a plea to probation, allowing the client to complete terms in the community.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, the client pulled over right away. When the officer ordered them out, the client asked why, and was arrested and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude. We secured the patrol report, pushed for the dash and body camera footage, and centered negotiations on the absence of any evasive driving. We made clear we were ready to litigate the elements and take the case to trial if necessary. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after allegedly cutting off another vehicle. Without a license on hand, they declined balance tests due to longstanding leg and back issues, and completed only the eye test. At the station they submitted a breath sample that tested high. We obtained the videos and breath-test paperwork, examined the officer's HGN instructions, the observation period, and machine records, and paired that with proactive classes and character letters. That pressure led to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After striking roadside construction, the client parked and went into a nearby business. Officers arrived on a report of erratic driving, noted open containers, and arrested for public intoxication after the client acknowledged drinking and later produced a marginal breath result at booking. We obtained the evidence, reviewed bodycam, and challenged whether the required danger to self or others was supported. We also documented the client’s immediate entry into treatment. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a reduced municipal charge with deferred probation and a lowered fine, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police responded after the client’s car hit a curb at an intersection. He reported being diabetic, had skipped medication, uses a CPAP, and admitted to a few beers earlier. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and obtained a voluntary blood draw at the jail. We gathered medical records, documented balance issues, and flagged inconsistencies in the reported location. Leveraging those weaknesses in the stop and testing, we pressed the State in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for aggravated robbery after a roadside encounter spiraled into a confrontation. The client reported being cut off, followed briefly to get a plate number, and captured video of the exchange before being chased and shot at. We obtained and presented that footage, engaged the investigating officer, and pressed the state on the lack of evidence supporting a robbery. When the complaining witness could not be produced, we set the matter to force a decision. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 12

Allegations

Following a minor crash, officers approached the client in a parked vehicle and made a DWI arrest. The client had limited memory of the event, did not complete standardized field tests, and a breath result was reported near an elevated threshold. We obtained the reports and video, reviewed everything with the client, and gathered strong character letters from supervisors and coworkers. The client also completed recommended alcohol education up front. We leveraged these steps in negotiations, addressed proposed monitoring conditions, and secured a plea to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC6

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an alleged traffic violation and contact with a curb, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests, and a blood draw was performed under a warrant. We secured the videos and warrant paperwork, compared them to the report, and flagged weaknesses in the basis for the stop and arrest. At the same time, we lined up mitigation, including a DWI class, a victim impact panel, character letters, and an application to veterans treatment court. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.
