Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client pulled into a parking lot before stopping. The officer observed an open alcohol container, conducted field sobriety tests, and, after the client declined a breath test, obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We obtained the video and paperwork, scrutinizing the basis for the stop, the administration of the tests, and the blood draw procedures. We emphasized the client’s clean history and leveraged these issues in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense with deferred terms.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

An old family dispute resurfaced when the client learned of a pending assault charge during a job background check. We confirmed a warrant, arranged a coordinated jail walkthrough, and secured bond with no-contact conditions. After filing in, we obtained discovery and collected statements from witnesses who were present. Their accounts conflicted with the original report and undercut the allegation, which the state recognized. We negotiated a civil protective order with no admission or affirmative family-violence finding. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after a lane change without signaling. The officer noted alcohol, administered field sobriety tests, and arrested the driver, who later registered around 0.20 on a station breath test. We obtained the video, scrutinized how the tests were given, and demanded the intoxilyzer calibration and maintenance files. We also built mitigation, including completion of a DWI education course, AA attendance, character letters, and employment documentation. Leveraging these issues and materials, we negotiated removal of the .15 enhancement and a reduction to a standard DWI with deferred probation.

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

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

A domestic dispute in a vehicle led to an assault family violence charge after a neighbor called 911 and shared home video that appeared to show our client pulling the complainant from a car. We secured the full case file, reviewed the footage, and highlighted that it captured only the tail end of the incident. We pushed for witness disclosures, and the homeowners told prosecutors they saw the complainant hitting or kicking our client before the video began. Using that account and the gaps in the state’s proof, we signaled readiness for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client was arrested for DWI with an alleged BAC over .15. We secured the video, police reports, and testing records, then targeted weaknesses in the proof of the elevated BAC and the observations used to justify impairment. We contrasted the officer’s narrative with what appeared on camera and pressed the state on evidentiary gaps. With that pressure, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge. The client avoided the higher-grade DWI and received straight probation on the lesser offense.

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

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

After striking a median and blowing out tires, the client pulled over and was contacted by police while stopped. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and used a roadside breath device that read above .15. No evidentiary breath or blood sample was taken later. Our team obtained the videos, dissected the test administration, and challenged the state’s attempt to rely on a portable device to enhance the case. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dropped the enhancement and reduced the charge, and we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash into a utility pole, officers conducted field sobriety tests. The client fell during testing and had visible bruising and a recent head impact, along with documented balance and orthopedic issues. Police later obtained a warrant for a blood draw after alleging a breath-test refusal. We obtained the bodycam and dashcam, secured the 911 audio, and subpoenaed the blood lab records. Citing accident-related injuries and medical history, we challenged the reliability of the testing. The state reduced the case to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

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.
