Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Discharge of a Firearm

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Police were called to a neighborhood after reports of gunfire during a small gathering at a rented home. Officers alleged the client fired a 9mm into the dirt, a neighbor said they saw it, and two casings were recovered, while another person fired a rifle that chipped concrete. We obtained the 911 call and bodycam, tested whether the spot met the public place element, and compared witness claims to the video. We emphasized that the gun was secured before contact and that no one was threatened or injured. With targeted mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after officers contacted him in a hotel lobby and sidewalk area following a reported disturbance at a nearby restaurant. We obtained the officers' bodycam and asked the location to preserve its surveillance. The footage showed he spoke clearly, walked normally, and repeatedly said he was not leaving, contradicting the report that claimed he was a danger to himself or others. We highlighted those inconsistencies and pressed the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 379th District Court

Allegations

While on felony community supervision for a prior drug case, the client was cited twice in another county for driving with an invalid license, and probation also alleged two positive UAs. After a warrant issued, we got a bond set and arranged processing through the satellite bonding office to minimize custody time. We met with the prosecutor and probation, presented recent clean tests and proof of enrollment in the class needed to regain a license. The court accepted our proposal, reinstating the client on deferred adjudication with heightened testing instead of adjudication.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, the client pulled over right away. When the officer ordered them out, the client asked why, and was arrested and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude. We secured the patrol report, pushed for the dash and body camera footage, and centered negotiations on the absence of any evasive driving. We made clear we were ready to litigate the elements and take the case to trial if necessary. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After striking roadside construction, the client parked and went into a nearby business. Officers arrived on a report of erratic driving, noted open containers, and arrested for public intoxication after the client acknowledged drinking and later produced a marginal breath result at booking. We obtained the evidence, reviewed bodycam, and challenged whether the required danger to self or others was supported. We also documented the client’s immediate entry into treatment. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a reduced municipal charge with deferred probation and a lowered fine, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Speeding (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client received a Class C speeding citation. We entered an appearance, demanded the state’s evidence, and set the case for a contested setting. When discovery was not produced as required, we pressed the issue and made clear we were prepared to litigate. In discussions with the assigned prosecutor, we emphasized the evidentiary gaps and their burden to prove the alleged speed. The state elected to dismiss the case.

Charge

Unsafe Speed (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

During a highway stop, the client was cited for unsafe speed. Our team immediately requested the patrol video, the officer's notes, and all supporting speed evidence. When key discovery was still missing, we set the case for a contested setting and made clear we would challenge the proof. With incomplete evidence and pressure mounting, the prosecution dismissed the charge. The result kept a moving violation off the client's record.

Charge

Speeding

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a traffic stop, our client was cited for speeding. We immediately requested full discovery on the stop and the basis for the citation, including reports and any video. When the State failed to produce the materials after repeated follow-ups, we kept the matter on the docket to force an answer and maintained pressure on the prosecution. Faced with proceeding without required evidence, the prosecutor submitted a dismissal. The speeding citation was thrown out, leaving nothing pending.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a period of virtual supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke when their probation officer stopped responding and, after a job loss, they fell behind on fees, classes, and a device requirement. Months later, a routine traffic stop led to an arrest on the warrant. We compiled emails showing attempts to report, community service records, class registrations and certificates, and documentation of financial hardship. We prepared the client for testing and presented this mitigation to the state and the court. The case resolved with a reduced violation and a time served outcome, avoiding additional jail and ending supervision.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

Our client was accused of indecent exposure after an encounter in a park area. He said he stepped into the brush to relieve himself, was approached by a plainclothes officer, and later detained by responding officers. We obtained the police reports and both body camera and undercover video, then walked the client through the strengths and risks. We assembled mitigation, including medical records explaining urinary urgency, and emphasized his clean history. After firm negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon in a Prohibited Place

Location

Bexar County

Allegations

During an airport security screening, a handgun was discovered in the client's bag after they inadvertently left it there. Officers seized the weapon, documented the incident, and referred it for potential charges in a prohibited place. We engaged immediately, contacted the investigator, monitored for any warrant, and built mitigation. We provided proof the administrative security fine was paid, employment verification, and a firearm safety training certificate. After our submissions and negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when the state filed a motion to revoke alleging they drove without a valid license and used a vehicle without the required ignition interlock, along with a reported lockout event. We reviewed the motion, counseled immediate compliance, and built a record of corrective steps, including reinstating the license and completing outstanding conditions. We compiled documentation and engaged the prosecutor with a clear plan for continued compliance. The state dismissed the case.
