Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

A noise complaint brought officers to a home after a verbal argument. The client briefly left to give a friend a ride and returned to find police already in the backyard, having come through a detached garage. He was arrested on an allegation that he struck his partner, though she did not want charges and had hand injuries from an earlier sports mishap. We obtained medical records and photos confirming those injuries predated the incident, highlighted the lack of visible injury on body-cam, and challenged the warrantless entry. After we pressed these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police alleged the client interfered during an active scene and arrested them for interfering with public duty. From the outset, the client insisted there was no basis for the charge. We obtained the incident materials and focused on whether the reported conduct actually hindered or obstructed officers as the statute requires. After pressing those issues with the prosecution and making clear we were prepared to litigate them, the state agreed it could not proceed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, our client received a citation for minor in possession after the officer searched the vehicle and found a container in the back seat. The client did not consent to a search, and the citation itself reflected no search conducted. We obtained the videos and report, noted that the bodycam lacked audio and the dashcam showed careful driving, and highlighted contradictions in the paperwork. We challenged the legal basis for the search and the reliability of the officer's account. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

Stopped for speeding late at night, the officer performed only an eye test and claimed impairment. The client explained a vision condition affected by bright lights, declined a breath test, and no blood was taken. Body camera video had no audio, and dashcam showed steady, controlled driving. The officer then searched the vehicle without consent and recorded inconsistent details on the citation. We obtained the videos and report, highlighted the unlawful search and evidentiary gaps, and pressed the prosecution. The DUI was dismissed.

Charge

Speeding

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was cited for speeding. We secured dash and body camera footage and the citation. The video showed steady lane control, and the body cam lacked audio, while the paperwork contained checked boxes and details that did not match what actually occurred. We confronted the prosecution with those discrepancies and questioned the reliability of the state's proof on speed. The state dismissed the speeding case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for speeding, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined breath testing, officers obtained a blood warrant, and the state relied on field sobriety tests. We obtained the dash and body camera footage and the lab packet, identified problems with how the tests were administered, and confirmed the blood result was below 0.08. We presented these evidentiary issues to the prosecution and prepared to litigate. With key proof compromised, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped after an officer said they rolled a red light before a left turn, the client was noted to have red, watery eyes and was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which were limited due to chronic back and leg issues. The client elected a blood test, but the draw was delayed while paperwork was corrected. We gathered medical records documenting PTSD, TBI, and eye conditions with light sensitivity that explained the observations, and challenged the stop and the reliability of the tests. After we presented these issues, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Injury

Location

Bexar County, 187TH District Court

Allegations

After a rear-end collision, the client parked nearby, briefly walked away, then returned as first responders arrived. The other driver later reported back pain and EMS responded. Prosecutors pursued a felony accident involving injury, alleging he failed to remain. We obtained the crash report and EMS records and emphasized that he returned, that his account referenced a memory lapse, and that the evidence did not clearly establish intent. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the charge and he received deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Harassment (Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

The client was investigated for harassment after sending texts and posting on social media accusing a family member of harming a child. We stepped in early, handled communications with the investigator, and compiled the texts, call history, and surrounding context showing there were no threats and that the statements related to reporting suspected abuse. We challenged the evidentiary basis and confirmed the complainants did not wish to proceed. The investigator marked the case unfounded, and it was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

Police approached the client at a closed park and, after seeing smoke and claiming an odor of marijuana, searched a backpack and reported finding marijuana along with a THC concentrate. The case remained in a pre-indictment posture while the state sought lab testing. We obtained the discovery, scrutinized the stop and search, and pressed the prosecution on the lab's ability to reliably identify and weigh the concentrate. We made clear we were prepared to litigate suppression and to attack any gaps in the chain of proof. Confronted with those evidentiary issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged speeding, our client was arrested for DWI. They declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw; an open container was also documented. We secured the videos and observed solid performance on the field tests, with communication issues due to a language barrier noted throughout. When the blood results came back at 0.05, below the legal limit, we challenged intoxication and the reliability of the investigation. Facing weak evidence, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace 3

Allegations

The client was ticketed for Class C disorderly conduct after a school incident. Staff insisted the student move while they were on the phone with a parent, a fire alarm sounded, campus police arrived, and the situation escalated. Administrators alleged profane remarks and that a chair was thrown at a wall, but no one was harmed. We obtained school and police records, pressed for any camera and body camera footage, and presented the IEP and safety-plan context along with the weeks long delay in filing. Confronted with these issues and a prepared defense, the state dismissed the case.
