Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Deadly Conduct (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

After a road rage encounter, the other driver later claimed our client displayed a handgun; there was no stop that day. A warrant followed, the client was picked up during an unrelated stop, and bonded out. We obtained 911 audio, bodycam and statements, and probed timing and credibility issues in the delayed complaint. We pressed a statutory argument that mere display without discharge is not use of deadly force in this context. Diversion was denied at the complainant’s request, but we leveraged these issues to negotiate deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

Officers issued a public intoxication citation to the client while he was already in custody following an incident. The paperwork offered only conclusory language and did not show that, at the time of citation, he was in a public place or posed a danger to himself or others. We obtained the reports, highlighted the timing problem and the absence of concrete observations, and put the state on notice that we would challenge the elements in court. We kept pressure on the case through negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 290th DC

Allegations

After the client was arrested on a years old probation warrant, the family called us. He had received deferred terms long ago but never completed intake because no one directed him and notices never reached him, compounded by a clerical error on his date of birth. We met him in jail, filed to set bond, secured release with GPS, and moved to allow work. We pulled court and probation records, showing the lack of notice and his law abiding stability since. Confronted with these issues, the State dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client was served with a motion to revoke after an alleged violation tied to a new arrest. We obtained the signed probation conditions and identified that there was no explicit requirement to self report an arrest, undermining the claimed violation. We also moved to correct an overbroad no contact condition that would have triggered a technical breach. Throughout, the client complied with supervision, checked in as directed, and completed an evaluation and class. Faced with these issues and proof of compliance, the prosecution dismissed the motion.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Our client was accused of reckless driving after an officer claimed he fishtailed leaving a gas station and pulled into a nearby complex. We secured the patrol car video and bodycam and compared them to the narrative. The footage showed a slow, short movement with no swerving, excessive speed, or danger to others. We compiled those discrepancies and presented them to the prosecutor, arguing the elements could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Faced with video that undercut the allegation, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Fleeing or Eluding a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

The incident began after the client left a gas station and pulled into a nearby gated complex. An officer said emergency lights and a loudspeaker were used and accused the client of eluding and reckless driving. We secured dash and body camera footage that showed no high speed driving and only a brief distance before the vehicle was parked. We emphasized the lack of a prolonged pursuit, the confusion at the gate, and presented mitigation, including character letters and a voluntary course. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication on the fleeing charge, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Discharge of a Firearm

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Police were called to a neighborhood after reports of gunfire during a small gathering at a rented home. Officers alleged the client fired a 9mm into the dirt, a neighbor said they saw it, and two casings were recovered, while another person fired a rifle that chipped concrete. We obtained the 911 call and bodycam, tested whether the spot met the public place element, and compared witness claims to the video. We emphasized that the gun was secured before contact and that no one was threatened or injured. With targeted mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

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

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

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

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

Unsafe Speed (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

During a highway stop, the client was cited for unsafe speed. Our team immediately requested the patrol video, the officer's notes, and all supporting speed evidence. When key discovery was still missing, we set the case for a contested setting and made clear we would challenge the proof. With incomplete evidence and pressure mounting, the prosecution dismissed the charge. The result kept a moving violation off the client's record.
