Assault Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Aggravated Assault - Family Violence (Serious Bodily Injury)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute after our client had already called 911 and waited outside. Later, the complainant claimed a broken foot and serious injury, elevating the case to a felony. We attacked the credibility of that claim by compiling the client’s 911 account, social media posts attributing the injury to a separate skiing incident, and photos showing her moving normally soon after. We pushed for medical records and highlighted inconsistencies between statements and video clips. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Responding officers to a domestic dispute arrested our client after the other party pointed to a facial mark and blamed her. We got involved immediately and compiled the client’s messages, videos, and call logs documenting prior volatility and her efforts to seek help. A third party on the phone during the incident reported statements consistent with the mark being self inflicted, and there were no injuries consistent with striking. We organized the contradictions in the complainant’s accounts and the absence of corroboration. After we laid out these credibility problems to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument at a residence led to an allegation of assault family violence. Officers relied on an initial statement, but we obtained home surveillance showing the complainant grabbing for a holstered firearm and our client using a single open hand strike to break contact and retreat. We secured that clip, compared it to the reports, and highlighted the self defense context and minimal injury evidence. The complainant later told authorities she did not wish to pursue the case. Confronted with that record, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested the client even though he was the one who called 911 reporting he had been struck. We obtained the 911 audio, body cam video, and the offense report. The footage and statements did not align, her account of the contact and injuries shifted, and a later protective order narrative conflicted with what was said on scene. We highlighted those contradictions and the context of a brief phone struggle that had already ended. Confronted with these credibility issues and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

Police responded to a 911 call after a domestic argument and arrested our client for assault based on superficial facial scratches. The client reported only a brief push, and the other person told officers they did not want prosecution. We requested the body camera video and highlighted investigative gaps, including how officers characterized the incident and seized a wedding ring as the supposed weapon. We prepared a sworn statement route for the complainant and pressed the DA on the weak evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case, and we moved to have the ring returned.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Officers arrested our client after a domestic dispute when the other party reported an assault. We got involved immediately, requested the police file and video, and preserved text messages and other communications that put the allegation in context. The client provided character letters and strictly followed bond and no contact conditions while we engaged the prosecutor. The complaining witness later signed a non-prosecution affidavit and declined to cooperate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Filed. Felony

Allegations

An argument at a home escalated when our client tried to gather belongings and leave, and the complainant blocked the doorway before contacting 911. Officers arrived, documented no visible injuries, and let the client depart. Despite that, a felony family-violence strangulation allegation was later pursued. We engaged early, pre-indictment, and obtained the bodycam, 911 records, and reports. Those materials showed the lack of injury and on-scene statements that undercut the claim. We presented the problems to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

Allegations

The client called police to have his pregnant partner leave after a dispute at a residence. Officers saw a red mark on her hand and arrested him for assault on a pregnant person. We acted pre-indictment, secured the reports, body-cam and 911 audio, and showed he was the one seeking help. The materials aligned with his account that contact happened as he shut a bathroom door while being followed, pointing to an accidental injury. The complainant also expressed she did not want prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After an argument at a hotel parking lot following a night out, a bystander called 911 and officers arrested our client for family violence based on the initial statement and minor scrapes reported. We moved quickly, requesting body cam, 911 audio, and reports, and sought any hotel surveillance before it could be overwritten. The complainant later submitted an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we delivered to the prosecutor, and we documented the client’s counseling efforts and character references. Faced with shaky evidence and no cooperation, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 399th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a dispute at an apartment complex. Discovery showed a neighbor confronted the client while he was managing two dogs, put him in a chokehold, and advanced again after he broke free. The client fired a single shot into his own vehicle to create distance and left. We obtained and reviewed bodycam, reports, and interviews, which conflicted on who started the fight and where the gun was aimed, with some accounts even disputing a shot. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence with Prior Convictions

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to an arrest for felony assault family violence, based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. Our team obtained the 911 audio, body and dash camera footage, and the reports, then compared each version of events. The complainant later expressed no desire to prosecute, and her account shifted across contacts. There was no independent corroboration such as photos or medical records to support the allegation. We laid out those credibility problems to the prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal

Allegations

The client was arrested after a domestic argument with an ex, where a brief hand-to-neck contact was reported. Prosecutors filed a felony strangulation charge based on that allegation. We obtained the case file, documented the context and brevity of the contact, and challenged whether the proof supported the elements alleged. We kept steady pressure in negotiations and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution ultimately dismissed the case.
