Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a no-contact order was issued, a third party reported that the client and the protected person were together, and officers made an arrest for violating the order. We pulled the discovery and pinned down the scope and timing of the conditions. We documented the co-parenting context and that the contact was consensual. We presented this to the prosecutor, challenged whether the evidence proved a knowing violation, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a heated, alcohol-fueled dispute where bystanders claimed the client made threats. We obtained the 911 audio, body-worn camera, and written statements. The recordings did not match the reports, and witnesses disagreed about what was said and whether anyone actually felt imminent danger. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state, making clear we were prepared to litigate the weaknesses. Confronted with credibility issues and thin evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a night of drinking, a dispute spilled into a parking lot and later a residence. Several people told police our client made threatening statements, and officers made an arrest for terroristic threat. We obtained and reviewed the police reports, body camera video, and 911 recordings. The evidence showed the accusations centered on words said during a chaotic, intoxicated encounter, with no physical injuries alleged. We presented our analysis to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police were called after a late-night dispute at a residence where multiple people claimed our client made threats of serious harm. No one was injured and officers arrived after the fact. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera video, and reports, and compared each witness account to what was captured on scene. The statements did not line up on what was said or whether anyone was placed in immediate fear, and there was no independent corroboration. We presented those problems to the prosecutor, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 9

Allegations

Following a dispute at a private residence, the client returned after being told not to come back. Officers arrived while the client was still on the property and made an arrest for criminal trespass. We obtained the offense reports, 911 audio, and bodycam to pin down what was actually alleged and to show there was no damage, threats, or violence. We highlighted the client’s cooperation and proactive steps taken afterward. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Our client was accused of criminal trespass after returning to a residence tied to a prior dispute. Police had issued a trespass warning earlier, and when a neighbor called 911 the client stayed at the scene and was arrested. We obtained the reports, body-cam, and 911 audio, emphasizing there was no forced entry or damage, the client was cooperative, and the complainant initially hesitated about pressing charges. We leveraged those points in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

Police arrested our client for allegedly violating a protective order after being around a family member at a relative's home. We obtained the emergency order and compared every checked condition to the arrest report. The document did not prohibit all contact, that box was not selected, and the listed prohibited addresses did not include the location at issue. We compiled those discrepancies and pressed the State to reevaluate the charge. After discussions with the prosecutor and submission of our analysis, the violation case was dismissed.

Charge

Tampering with Physical Evidence

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers alleged our client tried to dispose of suspected narcotics and filed a felony tampering charge. The report referenced residue on the floorboard and an empty bag found in the vehicle, but there was no admission and no direct observation of any destruction. We reconstructed the timeline of the stop and search from the police records and highlighted that the tampering theory was inferred after the search. We pressed the State on its burden to prove an intentional act to impair evidence once the investigation began. Confronted with those proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer said the vehicle’s taillights were out and alleged the driver was going too fast while changing lanes, resulting in a reckless driving charge. We obtained the patrol video and the report and broke down the timeline of the stop, traffic flow, and the officer’s stated reasons. Our analysis raised serious questions about whether the conduct met the legal standard for reckless driving versus a routine traffic infraction. We presented those issues to the prosecutor and signaled we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police attempted to detain our client, a Taser was deployed, and the client was taken to a hospital instead of being booked. After the client was released, we monitored for any warrant and engaged the prosecutor early. We scrutinized the basis for the attempted detention and whether clear, lawful commands were given before any alleged flight. We emphasized that the incident ended in medical transport, which undercut key elements of intent and notice. Confronted with these problems and our readiness to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, DC175

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a theft case when a motion to revoke was filed alleging missed community service and unpaid fees. He had been trying to transfer supervision after relocating, and a warrant issued. We negotiated a reasonable bond, coordinated his safe surrender, and secured his quick release. Then we built mitigation, including employment verification, proof of residence, a workable payment plan, and a concrete schedule to finish service hours. At the hearing we challenged the state's jail recommendation and secured straight probation instead of revocation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client faced a motion to revoke after a new arrest triggered a warrant and higher bond. We immediately engaged the court and prosecutor to obtain the basis of the allegation and moved to address the warrant. Our team compiled proof of full compliance to date, including completed conditions, clean reports, and payments made, and emphasized there was no new conviction. We challenged the sufficiency of the alleged violation and kept pressure on the State. The motion was dismissed.
