Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was arrested after a bar altercation where officers reported he threw the first punch. Our team obtained surveillance and body-worn camera video and spoke with witnesses. Lining that up against the written report exposed significant inconsistencies. The footage showed the other individual initiate contact and escalate the fight, while our client acted defensively and later needed treatment for an eye injury. We presented these contradictions and our self-defense theory to the prosecutor and prepared for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a late night domestic incident at a residence. The client went to an on again, off again partner's home and entered through a window, and a brief struggle followed before officers arrived. The partner told police she did not want to prosecute and declined to provide photos, yet a felony burglary charge issued with a no contact order and GPS monitoring. We got involved immediately, moved to modify bond conditions, and obtained an order permitting peaceful contact. After we highlighted the complainant's unwillingness to participate and the lack of corroboration, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Officers claimed our client possessed a controlled substance after an item was recovered by third parties before police arrived. We secured the lab results, which showed an amount far below what was first reported. We also determined the surveillance video cited by investigators was from the wrong location, and that multiple civilians handled the item with no clear chain of custody. We organized these defects and made clear we were prepared to litigate them. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

Stopped after an officer claimed the vehicle crossed a line while exiting a highway, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined balance tests, refused a breath test, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. We obtained discovery and focused on the legality of the stop, arguing there was no reasonable suspicion to initiate it. Citing binding appellate case law, we litigated a suppression issue. The court agreed the stop was unlawful, leaving the state without key evidence. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

The case began when an item believed to be drugs was found in a space accessible to children, and a minor briefly came into contact with it. The state relied on a single surveillance clip and a loosely documented handoff of the item. We obtained and reviewed the videos and showed the footage did not depict the incident as reported. The chain of custody was incomplete, no drug test of our client was ever performed, and lab findings did not align with initial claims. After we compiled these defects and pressed the prosecution, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a family-violence case when a motion to revoke alleged failures to report and incomplete classes. We were retained shortly before a setting, pulled the revocation filings, and met the client in custody to sort out what happened. We showed he had completed the required program, highlighted a clean record with no new violence, and noted the complaining witness no longer sought punishment. In court, we pressed these points with the prosecutor and the judge. The State agreed and the court terminated probation satisfactorily, so the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client was arrested on a new allegation and the State filed a motion to revoke. We pulled the probation file, verified a clean reporting record, and documented that the term was nearly complete with no prior issues. We contested the alleged violation, emphasized that the new case was unproven, and compiled proof of ongoing compliance and stability. After presenting this and pressing our position in negotiations, the State abandoned the action and the court dismissed the MTRP.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Stopped for alleged swerving within a lane, our client was arrested for a first offense DWI. At the station a breath test read about 0.07, and there was no roadside test or blood draw. We attacked the thin basis for the stop and the lack of reliable chemical proof, comparing the officer's narrative against the reports and available records. Making clear we were ready to litigate, we used those weaknesses in negotiations. The prosecution reduced the case to a lesser charge, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court.

Allegations

The case arose after a traffic stop where a small vape refill was found in the vehicle and treated as a controlled substance. The client consistently explained it was a legal product bought over the counter and provided the original packaging and proof of purchase. We appeared, demanded full discovery, and required the state to produce a valid lab analysis establishing the substance and its weight. We highlighted gaps in proof and leveraged the purchase documentation to challenge illegality and classification. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DUI - Minor (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, officers conducted field sobriety tests and requested a breath sample. The client blew about 0.04, below the 0.08 per se limit, but was cited for DUI as a minor. We demanded the dashcam, bodycam, and breath-testing records and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the evaluation. While discovery was pending, we implemented a mitigation plan, including completing an alcohol education program and addressing license issues. Armed with that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

When a felony motion to revoke was filed against our client on deferred adjudication, it rested on a single new allegation from an older, poorly defined incident. We moved quickly to secure a bond so the client could fight from the outside. We gathered probation records showing steady compliance and payments, and demanded the state's proof on the alleged violation. The evidence was thin and dated, and key details were unclear. After meeting with the prosecutor and challenging the basis for revocation, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The client was arrested after an allegation that a protective order was violated through improper contact. The client maintained that all communication occurred on a parenting app and reported that the other party repeatedly came to places connected to the children. We compiled the app messages, police incident records, and the relevant court orders to highlight conflicting terms and the absence of threats or impermissible in‑person contact. We pressed the State on evidentiary gaps, documented the burden of GPS monitoring, and pushed for an alternative resolution. The prosecution agreed to pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction and resolving the case through program conditions.
