Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

Stopped for a turn signal violation, the client was investigated for DWI after a drive-thru employee reported possible intoxication. Officers performed eye and one-leg balance tests and skipped the walk-and-turn when the client reported dizziness. A breath test was administered later by another unit. We secured the videos and reports, highlighting issues with how the tests were conducted, the delay before testing, and questions about device operation. We also submitted proof of ongoing treatment, character letters, and relevant medical documentation. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Attempt to Take an Officer's Weapon

Location

Bexar County, DC437

Allegations

The client was arrested after a tense encounter with police and accused of trying to take an officer's weapon. We secured the reports and video, then zeroed in on the legality of the initial detention and the escalation that followed. Our team filed a motion to suppress and challenged whether the evidence met the elements of the offense, including intent and any actual control over the firearm. After presenting these issues and signaling readiness for a hearing, the prosecution dismissed the case before trial.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Police reported finding suspected narcotics following a detention that escalated into a search. We dug into the police reports and case evidence, reconstructed the timeline, and flagged weaknesses in the stated basis for the search and in how the substance was handled. We prepared a motion to suppress and set it for a hearing. After we laid out these problems and signaled we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Police reported finding narcotics and alleged our client intended to deliver. We obtained reports, video, and lab documents and focused on how the substances were discovered. The search sprang from a tenuous basis, and key steps in establishing probable cause and tying the items to our client did not hold up. We pressed the prosecutor with these evidentiary problems and signaled we were ready to litigate a suppression issue. After reviewing our challenges, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention (On Foot)

Location

Bexar County, CC1

Allegations

During a police encounter, the client allegedly ran from officers and was arrested for evading arrest or detention on foot. The case was filed in a misdemeanor court. We opened discussions with the prosecutor, focused on the circumstances of the attempted detention, and pushed for a non jail outcome. After negotiations, the state agreed to straight probation rather than seeking jail time. The client entered the plea in court and began a one year term of probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was arrested after a traffic stop and charged with a second DWI. She provided a breath sample and, due to severe shaking, was taken for medical evaluation. We shifted the focus to rehabilitation, compiling proof of intensive treatment, sober living, consistent meeting attendance, and volunteer work. We engaged the prosecutor and prepared the client to address the court with sincere remorse and a concrete recovery plan. The state reduced the case to a lesser misdemeanor with credit for time served, avoiding probation.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Bexar County, Helotes MC

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police issued our client a Class C assault citation despite no injuries and conflicting accounts. We immediately requested the body camera video and reports. The footage showed only brief, disputed contact and even uncertainty by officers about whom to charge. The complaining witness later signed a sworn affidavit of non-prosecution, which we provided to the state. We pressed the weaknesses and prepared for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Following a domestic incident at a residence, officers arrested our client on an allegation of impeding breath. We moved quickly to modify bond so the family could maintain limited, peaceful contact. Our team assembled a mitigation packet with medical documentation of a panic episode, evidence of an adverse medication reaction, and multiple character letters. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented. Before any indictment, the prosecutor reviewed our materials and dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

Officers arrested our client for DWI after a single vehicle incident that damaged a roadside sign. The file included field sobriety testing, a breath result just over the legal limit, and statements indicating alcohol use. We reviewed the video and reports, documented what was and was not supported, and built mitigation around the client's clean record and cooperation. In talks with the prosecutor, we pushed for a non intoxication resolution. The charge was reduced to obstruction of a highway with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

After a caller reported possible impaired driving in a neighborhood, the client was stopped. The officer noted an odor of alcohol but said the client passed field tests, which were also complicated by knee and hip issues. We secured the reports and prepared to challenge the basis for the stop, the reliability of the third-party tip, and the testing. While we pressed the case, the state failed to file in a timely manner. We moved for dismissal due to delay, and the court granted it, closing the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 207th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation for a prior DWI, our client moved out of state after receiving approval to transfer supervision. Soon after, that approval was rescinded due to an administrative error and the client was ordered to report back within an unrealistic window, which he could not meet. A warrant issued and he was extradited with no new charges. We gathered the probation email trail, filed for bond, and met with the court liaison and prosecutor. Demonstrating the violation was not willful, the state dismissed the motion to revoke and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL 15

Allegations

There was a minor single-vehicle crash into a neighborhood fence, and officers arrived to investigate. The client admitted to drinking, completed field sobriety tests, was arrested, and later gave a breath sample at the jail that read 0.16. We obtained the police reports and discovery, scrutinized how the roadside testing was conducted, and noted that no roadside breath test was given. We highlighted the short window between last consumption and the station test and challenged proof of impairment at the time of driving. The state dismissed the case.
