Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

After a single vehicle accident, officers conducted field sobriety tests and arrested our client. At the station, a breath test registered over .15. We obtained the police reports and video, scrutinized how the roadside tests were given and whether the breath test was properly obtained. We also moved quickly on the license case and guided the client to begin recommended classes early. Using those mitigation steps and the evidentiary issues we raised in negotiations, we secured deferred probation, avoiding jail time and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

The client discovered a years-old municipal citation for drug paraphernalia and an outstanding warrant. He maintained it was identity misuse, consistent with a prior episode where someone used his information. We entered an appearance, obtained the file, and demanded body cam and citation records. We challenged the stale case, the unserved warrant, and the absence of reliable identification linking him to the incident. After sustained pressure and review of the evidence, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged swerving, our client was arrested for a second DWI. They declined roadside tests and breath testing, and officers obtained a blood sample several hours later. We emphasized the absence of field sobriety results, the lack of any admission, and the significant delay before the blood draw, raising concerns about the stop and the reliability of the BAC evidence. We pressed these weaknesses in negotiations and prepared to litigate them. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC2

Allegations

Police stopped our client for an alleged traffic violation and arrested them for DWI after questioning. They acknowledged having had drinks, performed roadside tests, and declined a breath test, after which a blood sample was taken. We demanded the dashcam footage that supposedly justified the stop and kept the pressure on through multiple settings. When the state submitted the video, it failed to substantiate a lawful reason to pull the vehicle over. We moved to suppress the stop and the ensuing evidence. The court granted our motion, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, DC

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at an apartment complex led neighbors to call 911 and report a violent assault on a pregnant partner. The reports claimed dragging and injuries, yet the partner disputed those allegations and she was taken for evaluation with no injuries reported. We moved to modify strict no contact bond terms to no harmful contact so the family could function safely. The complainant then signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we filed. With thin evidence and sustained pressure, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a minor single car incident where the vehicle struck a curb and came to rest in a parking lot, campus officers called city police, who arrested our client for DWI. The client provided a breath sample and had no prior record. We took over quickly, obtained dash and body cam from both agencies, scene materials, and the breath testing logs and operator records. We closely reviewed the field sobriety procedures and the basis for the stop and arrest, then pressed those evidentiary concerns in negotiations. The state ultimately reduced the charge.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

An old municipal citation accused the client of shoplifting a small amount, but the client consistently denied any involvement and raised identity misuse concerns. Our team pressed for full discovery, including any body camera, surveillance, and identification documents linking the suspect to our client. We engaged the prosecutor, highlighting the weak identification and the age of the citation, and raised due‑diligence issues related to the lingering warrant. Refusing any pay‑and‑plead resolution, we kept the pressure on until the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI based on field tests done minutes after the impact. She had suffered a panic attack, briefly fainted, and EMS documented blood pressure around 70 over 50. She voluntarily provided a blood sample and explained she had taken prescribed medication earlier, not alcohol. We compiled the EMS records and other supporting materials to show the tests were administered while she was unsteady from a medical episode. Confronted with that evidence and the weak impairment proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police attempted to detain our client, a Taser was deployed, and the client was taken to a hospital instead of being booked. After the client was released, we monitored for any warrant and engaged the prosecutor early. We scrutinized the basis for the attempted detention and whether clear, lawful commands were given before any alleged flight. We emphasized that the incident ended in medical transport, which undercut key elements of intent and notice. Confronted with these problems and our readiness to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a late-night drive, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and took a station breath sample that registered over .15. We immediately demanded discovery and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, the police report, and the breath-test records, scrutinizing the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered. We developed mitigation by guiding the client to complete DWI coursework, collect character letters, and start community service. Leveraging both pressure points, we negotiated deferred probation in county court. The client avoided a straight conviction while completing terms.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, the client was asked to perform field sobriety tests and later provided two breath samples around twice the legal limit. We pulled the patrol video, challenged the basis for the stop where speed was only estimated, and scrutinized the sobriety testing after the officer repeated the eye test and conducted it under flashing lights. We also examined breath test protocols, including observation and potential mouth contaminants. Coupled with character letters and completed classes, we leveraged these issues to secure deferred probation.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Loss prevention at a large retail store stopped our client after checkout, alleging several items were not scanned. Police took statements and opened a misdemeanor theft case supported by surveillance video and an itemized total consistent with a Class B charge. We immediately demanded discovery, reviewed the footage alongside register records, and pressed on timeline and valuation issues. Although the state maintained its evidence, we emphasized our client’s limited history and cooperation. The case resolved with deferred probation, avoiding a conviction upon successful completion.
