Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, DC290

Allegations

Police approached a parked vehicle where our client had been for hours after buying alcohol. The client said they had fallen asleep and might have turned the engine off. Only a single field sobriety test was conducted, and no breath test was offered, just a later blood draw. We pulled the videos and reports, underscoring the lack of any driving observations, the limited testing, and scrutinized the statutory warnings and procedures surrounding the blood draw. Using those issues as leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Our client was stopped after speeding and striking traffic cones near a crowded venue area. Officers reported signs of intoxication, and the client acknowledged drinking. They refused field sobriety tests and a breath sample, so police obtained a blood warrant. With a prior DWI on record, the stakes were high. We scrutinized the stop, the warrant, and the blood draw procedures, emphasizing the lack of roadside testing data and presenting mitigation. The case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and cited our client for family violence based largely on the other party’s account, despite visible injuries consistent with self defense. We gathered photographs and counseling documentation showing a pattern of prior abuse and flagged contradictions in the complainant’s statements. The complainant later left the state, weakening the prosecution’s case. We also coordinated court‑required fingerprinting while the client was out of state. We negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a final conviction if all terms are completed.

Charge

Bribery

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped in a parking lot and later accused of bribery after an offhand remark during a wallet inventory. Officers removed cash to count it, and the remark was interpreted as an attempt to influence the arrest. We obtained the police reports and compared them to supplemental statements, noting the officer’s account shifted over time. We showed there was no explicit offer or quid pro quo and no act by the client to tender money. Confronted with weak proof of intent, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Police filed a Class C family violence assault after a domestic dispute where our client called for help and was instead blamed. We scrutinized the report, gathered counseling records and photos showing prior abuse, and documented that the complaining witness might not be available to testify. We prepared to contest the allegations and, in the meantime, coordinated required fingerprinting and other compliance from another state to satisfy court requirements. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation. This resolution spared the client a conviction, contingent on completing the terms.

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

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

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

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

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

While on felony community supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke after missed reporting months and a new resisting arrest allegation that followed a traffic stop. We stepped in immediately, contacted probation, and pushed to avoid a second arrest warrant while the alleged violations were consolidated. Our team requested body worn camera and other records from the arrest and challenged the basis for the new allegation. We also documented the client’s recent efforts to get back into compliance. After negotiations with probation and the DA, revocation was set aside and the case resolved with deferred probation.

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

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a roadside incident, officers claimed our client possessed a vape cartridge and filed a felony possession charge. The client consistently maintained it came from a retail smoke shop and was not illegal THC. We challenged the basis for the search, pressed the state for proof of the substance, scrutinized the lab process and chain of custody, and prepared suppression arguments. With testing delays and evidentiary weaknesses laid out, we pushed for dismissal. The prosecution dismissed the felony case.
