Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and, seeing the complainant’s bruising, arrested our client for family violence by strangulation. We investigated immediately, documenting that those injuries came from a separate altercation days earlier, not from the incident in question. We pressed for discovery, compared statements, and made clear the complainant was not seeking prosecution. We also secured a bond modification allowing no-harm contact while the case was pending. Faced with credibility problems, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Police responded to a minor rear-end collision and arrested our client for DWI after noting slurred speech and inconsistent answers about where they were coming from. The report described poor performance on field sobriety tests, and a breath test registered just under .15. We secured discovery, requested breath-machine calibration records, and obtained officer materials. At the same time, we built a mitigation package with early classes and proof the property damage was addressed through insurance. Relying on the sub-.15 result, no injuries, and our mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

Police stopped our client after a reported traffic light violation. At the scene the officer escalated quickly, and when a breath test could not be administered, a blood sample was taken. We obtained the video, reports, and lab records, and worked up a mitigation plan, getting the client into AA, a repeat-offender DWI program, and a victim impact panel, along with character letters. We used that package in negotiations and pressed the State on the details of the stop and the testing. The felony was resolved with probation, avoiding a prison sentence.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, \u200b437th District Court

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client learned a warrant had issued after alleged violations tied to a new arrest and missed conditions. We moved quickly to verify the timeline, obtain probation records, and collect proof of treatment, sobriety meetings, and steady employment. We set up a safe surrender with bond to keep them working, then met with the prosecutor to walk through a detailed mitigation plan and future compliance steps. Rather than revoke and impose jail, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication and continued supervision.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged speeding and a red light, the client was arrested for DWI. Officers claimed an odor of marijuana, conducted field sobriety tests, and, after a breath refusal, obtained a blood draw by warrant. We requested the license hearing and pressed for full discovery, including the lab report. The blood result came back under the legal limit. We challenged the state’s proof of intoxication, and the prosecution dismissed. We then sought to correct the dismissal language to insufficient evidence to protect the client’s expunction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers on bikes approached at a light, claimed to smell marijuana, detained our client, and searched, finding a pistol in the glove box. The marijuana charge was never pursued. We obtained the bodycam and reports, and scrutinized whether an officer could credibly pinpoint an odor from a closed vehicle in a busy area, and whether any Class B offense existed to support the weapon count. We prepared suppression arguments and emphasized the lack of a valid predicate offense. After firm negotiations and signaling we were ready to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding shortly after leaving home, where they had consumed a single beer. They completed field sobriety tests, performing well on the walk and turn, but the eye test was flagged despite a documented history of epilepsy and natural nystagmus. A breath test was administered well after the stop, following nausea in the patrol car from flashing lights, and registered over the limit. We obtained video and maintenance records, documented the testing delay, medical factors, and officer uncertainty, and presented these defects to the prosecution. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a brief relationship ended, the client was accused of stalking based on claims of repeated contact and visits to a residence. We dug into the communications and obtained phone logs and messages showing the contact was mutual, including a long call where the complainant discussed meeting in the future. We built a detailed timeline and highlighted inconsistencies between the accusation and the communications. After presenting that to the prosecution and pressing the weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

The client was charged with violating a protective order. Our review of filings and service logs showed the alleged violation predates any arrest and that the client had never been served with the order. Call records also reflected ongoing contact initiated by the complainant, undercutting any claim that he knowingly violated an order. We organized a detailed timeline and put those service and credibility issues in front of the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 408th Civil District Court

Allegations

A civil application for a protective order was filed against our client after a relationship ended. He had never been served and the applicant continued to take his calls. We secured the file, managed settings by Zoom when needed, and built an evidence packet of call logs, messages, and photos documenting ongoing, consensual contact and credibility problems. We laid this out to the attorney handling the matter and made clear we were ready to litigate. The application was dropped and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging unauthorized travel for work and an ankle monitor issue after police removed the device during a prior arrest. He was detained at an airport when a dispute led to a warrant check. We pulled the allegations, documented the employment opportunity, and explained the monitoring device dispute, showing the issues arose from supervision, not a new offense. We proposed treatment and pushed for a nonrevocation outcome. The state agreed to drop the action and the court dismissed the motion, securing his release.
