Assault Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

Police responded to a 911 call after a domestic argument and arrested our client for assault based on superficial facial scratches. The client reported only a brief push, and the other person told officers they did not want prosecution. We requested the body camera video and highlighted investigative gaps, including how officers characterized the incident and seized a wedding ring as the supposed weapon. We prepared a sworn statement route for the complainant and pressed the DA on the weak evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case, and we moved to have the ring returned.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Filed. Felony

Allegations

An argument at a home escalated when our client tried to gather belongings and leave, and the complainant blocked the doorway before contacting 911. Officers arrived, documented no visible injuries, and let the client depart. Despite that, a felony family-violence strangulation allegation was later pursued. We engaged early, pre-indictment, and obtained the bodycam, 911 records, and reports. Those materials showed the lack of injury and on-scene statements that undercut the claim. We presented the problems to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

The client provided character letters and strictly followed bond and no contact conditions while we engaged the prosecutor. The complaining witness later signed a non-prosecution affidavit and declined to cooperate. The state dismissed the case.

Allegations

The client called police to have his pregnant partner leave after a dispute at a residence. Officers saw a red mark on her hand and arrested him for assault on a pregnant person. We acted pre-indictment, secured the reports, body-cam and 911 audio, and showed he was the one seeking help. The materials aligned with his account that contact happened as he shut a bathroom door while being followed, pointing to an accidental injury. The complainant also expressed she did not want prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After an argument at a hotel parking lot following a night out, a bystander called 911 and officers arrested our client for family violence based on the initial statement and minor scrapes reported. We moved quickly, requesting body cam, 911 audio, and reports, and sought any hotel surveillance before it could be overwritten. The complainant later submitted an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we delivered to the prosecutor, and we documented the client’s counseling efforts and character references. Faced with shaky evidence and no cooperation, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 399th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a dispute at an apartment complex. Discovery showed a neighbor confronted the client while he was managing two dogs, put him in a chokehold, and advanced again after he broke free. The client fired a single shot into his own vehicle to create distance and left. We obtained and reviewed bodycam, reports, and interviews, which conflicted on who started the fight and where the gun was aimed, with some accounts even disputing a shot. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence with Prior Convictions

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to an arrest for felony assault family violence, based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. Our team obtained the 911 audio, body and dash camera footage, and the reports, then compared each version of events. The complainant later expressed no desire to prosecute, and her account shifted across contacts. There was no independent corroboration such as photos or medical records to support the allegation. We laid out those credibility problems to the prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal

Allegations

The client was arrested after a domestic argument with an ex, where a brief hand-to-neck contact was reported. Prosecutors filed a felony strangulation charge based on that allegation. We obtained the case file, documented the context and brevity of the contact, and challenged whether the proof supported the elements alleged. We kept steady pressure in negotiations and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

Police responded to an argument at a residence and arrested our client for assault causing bodily injury based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We moved quickly, secured the reports and recordings, and interviewed available witnesses to understand what actually happened. The complainant later signed a sworn affidavit of non‑prosecution, and our review showed the state had little corroboration beyond the initial account. We presented those weaknesses and the affidavit to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, DC

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at an apartment complex led neighbors to call 911 and report a violent assault on a pregnant partner. The reports claimed dragging and injuries, yet the partner disputed those allegations and she was taken for evaluation with no injuries reported. We moved to modify strict no contact bond terms to no harmful contact so the family could function safely. The complainant then signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we filed. With thin evidence and sustained pressure, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic incident where someone squirted water and a fight followed. The client was labeled the aggressor and arrested. We got involved early, obtained the police reports, and spoke with witnesses to document the size disparity, that the other person delivered most of the blows, and that our client was calling for help. We challenged the primary aggressor determination and the lack of corroboration, noting the complainant did not wish to pursue. The state agreed the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Priors)

Location

Bexar County, 144th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a home, officers relied largely on the complainant’s account that our client pinned them against a counter and injured a wrist. The client reported he only removed their hands from him and then drove them for treatment. When we took over, we obtained discovery and reviewed the reports, bodycam, and medical records. We flagged a delayed outcry, contradictions between the initial report and follow up, and a potential motive tied to housing bills, plus evidence of medical aid. Faced with these issues, the state reduced the case, and we resolved it with deferred probation, keeping a felony off the record.
