Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

After a night out, an argument in a parked vehicle escalated when a cup was thrown and hit the partner, causing visible injuries. Police responded and arrested our client for family violence, and a no contact order followed. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam and reports, confirmed no one was driving, and presented an affidavit of non prosecution from the complainant. With counseling and a class underway and mitigation in hand, we negotiated deferred adjudication so the client avoided a conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Impeding Breath or Circulation)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court (Pre file)

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at a residence, based on a claim of strangulation. The client reported being struck with household items and said he only pushed the other person away at the shoulders, denying any choking. We engaged early in the prefile stage, requested evidence, and compared the initial report with later communications. The complaining witness later indicated they did not wish to prosecute. We emphasized the lack of proof of impeded breathing and credibility problems, and the DA dismissed the case before indictment.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

After a domestic argument over a phone, our client was arrested when officers documented a minor bruise on the complainant. He had a visible scratch that was noted at intake. Initial statements were taken through a child family member translating before an interpreter arrived. We obtained the police reports, documented that both parties grabbed for the phone, and highlighted translation and credibility problems. We also prepared a non-prosecution affidavit and relayed the complainant's wishes. Facing these weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault - Family Violence (Serious Bodily Injury)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute after our client had already called 911 and waited outside. Later, the complainant claimed a broken foot and serious injury, elevating the case to a felony. We attacked the credibility of that claim by compiling the client’s 911 account, social media posts attributing the injury to a separate skiing incident, and photos showing her moving normally soon after. We pushed for medical records and highlighted inconsistencies between statements and video clips. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Responding officers to a domestic dispute arrested our client after the other party pointed to a facial mark and blamed her. We got involved immediately and compiled the client’s messages, videos, and call logs documenting prior volatility and her efforts to seek help. A third party on the phone during the incident reported statements consistent with the mark being self inflicted, and there were no injuries consistent with striking. We organized the contradictions in the complainant’s accounts and the absence of corroboration. After we laid out these credibility problems to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument at a residence led to an allegation of assault family violence. Officers relied on an initial statement, but we obtained home surveillance showing the complainant grabbing for a holstered firearm and our client using a single open hand strike to break contact and retreat. We secured that clip, compared it to the reports, and highlighted the self defense context and minimal injury evidence. The complainant later told authorities she did not wish to pursue the case. Confronted with that record, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested the client even though he was the one who called 911 reporting he had been struck. We obtained the 911 audio, body cam video, and the offense report. The footage and statements did not align, her account of the contact and injuries shifted, and a later protective order narrative conflicted with what was said on scene. We highlighted those contradictions and the context of a brief phone struggle that had already ended. Confronted with these credibility issues and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

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.

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Officers arrested our client after a domestic dispute when the other party reported an assault. We got involved immediately, requested the police file and video, and preserved text messages and other communications that put the allegation in context. 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.

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.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

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.
