Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

Police found the client asleep in the driver’s seat at a fast-food lot after leaving a gathering. She admitted drinking, performed field tests, and later gave a 0.13 breath sample at the station. With a prior DWI on record, she faced enhanced penalties. We obtained body and dash camera video, scrutinized how the tests were conducted, and pulled maintenance logs for the breath machine. We also challenged whether the vehicle was actually being operated and assembled mitigation documenting treatment and sobriety efforts. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County

Allegations

A bar altercation escalated when an intoxicated patron who had been asked to leave returned, grabbed our client by the neck, and pulled him into a car. Security intervened, and our client sustained a concussion and an eye injury. We got involved during the investigation, halted an in‑person interview, compiled medical records and witness statements, and sought any available video. After we presented the self‑defense evidence and credibility concerns to the investigator, the matter was not referred for prosecution and was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL11

Allegations

Officers found our client in a drive-thru and conducted field sobriety tests after he acknowledged having drinks. He declined a breath test, and blood was later drawn under a warrant. We moved quickly to request an ALR hearing to protect his license, then obtained the video and discovery once the case was filed. The client completed recommended alcohol education and provided character letters, which we packaged for negotiations. Leveraging the discovery alongside mitigation, we secured a charge reduction and straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC2

Allegations

After a late-night single-vehicle crash, officers found the client beside a disabled car with airbags deployed. No field sobriety tests were conducted and no breath sample was taken, only a post-arrest blood draw. We dug into the police reports and available footage, scrutinized the basis for the arrest and the handling of the blood evidence, and emphasized the absence of roadside testing. We also guided the client into proactive classes and gathered strong character references. With those issues and mitigation on the table, the State offered deferred adjudication.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 15

Allegations

The client learned of a misdemeanor warrant while traveling and called us. We confirmed it arose from alleged damage to store property when a checkout screen cracked, and the client had already offered to pay for it. We coordinated an expedited bond process, secured the reports, and raised restitution, the clean record, and immigration concerns with the prosecutor. With context documented and restitution ready, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

The client was stopped moments after starting to drive into a parking lot, after a citizen reported he was unsafe to drive. He performed field sobriety tests while another officer searched the vehicle, and later consented to a breath test around 0.12. We obtained the videos, dispatch audio, and reports, and pressed the reliability of the tip, the timing of the detention, and the warrantless search conducted during testing. After presenting those problems, we negotiated a reduction from the original DWI and resolved the case on favorable terms.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was arrested after a bar altercation where officers reported he threw the first punch. Our team obtained surveillance and body-worn camera video and spoke with witnesses. Lining that up against the written report exposed significant inconsistencies. The footage showed the other individual initiate contact and escalate the fight, while our client acted defensively and later needed treatment for an eye injury. We presented these contradictions and our self-defense theory to the prosecutor and prepared for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

Stopped after an officer claimed the vehicle crossed a line while exiting a highway, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined balance tests, refused a breath test, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. We obtained discovery and focused on the legality of the stop, arguing there was no reasonable suspicion to initiate it. Citing binding appellate case law, we litigated a suppression issue. The court agreed the stop was unlawful, leaving the state without key evidence. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Officers claimed our client possessed a controlled substance after an item was recovered by third parties before police arrived. We secured the lab results, which showed an amount far below what was first reported. We also determined the surveillance video cited by investigators was from the wrong location, and that multiple civilians handled the item with no clear chain of custody. We organized these defects and made clear we were prepared to litigate them. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

The case began when an item believed to be drugs was found in a space accessible to children, and a minor briefly came into contact with it. The state relied on a single surveillance clip and a loosely documented handoff of the item. We obtained and reviewed the videos and showed the footage did not depict the incident as reported. The chain of custody was incomplete, no drug test of our client was ever performed, and lab findings did not align with initial claims. After we compiled these defects and pressed the prosecution, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a late night domestic incident at a residence. The client went to an on again, off again partner's home and entered through a window, and a brief struggle followed before officers arrived. The partner told police she did not want to prosecute and declined to provide photos, yet a felony burglary charge issued with a no contact order and GPS monitoring. We got involved immediately, moved to modify bond conditions, and obtained an order permitting peaceful contact. After we highlighted the complainant's unwillingness to participate and the lack of corroboration, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a family-violence case when a motion to revoke alleged failures to report and incomplete classes. We were retained shortly before a setting, pulled the revocation filings, and met the client in custody to sort out what happened. We showed he had completed the required program, highlighted a clean record with no new violence, and noted the complaining witness no longer sought punishment. In court, we pressed these points with the prosecutor and the judge. The State agreed and the court terminated probation satisfactorily, so the motion to revoke was dismissed.
