Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material

Location

Bexar County, DC187

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, the complainant reported that our client threatened to share intimate images that had been exchanged during their relationship. He had forwarded the photos back to a phone she used, not realizing it synced to a work account, and nothing was ever posted publicly. We gathered the message history and context showing no actual publication and highlighted the ongoing co-parenting issues. After multiple settings and negotiations, the State agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was arrested after a dispute at a campground where he admitted making a rude comment about a manager and was accused of following the manager’s spouse. He denied any stalking, and the arrest relied mainly on brief encounters and a few witness statements. We secured the police report, compared the accounts line by line, and challenged whether the statutory elements of harassment were satisfied. We engaged the prosecutor early, emphasized the lack of probable cause and credibility issues, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case in full.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

Our client was arrested for public intoxication after a dispute with a bouncer outside a bar, and officers documented signs of intoxication and confrontational language. The client lived hours away, so we immediately filed representation, reset the appearance date, and obtained the body camera and arrest paperwork. We compared the officer’s narrative to the video and challenged whether the elements of the offense were met. After focused negotiations with the prosecutor, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

Another driver followed and accused the client of causing damage after a minor encounter. No officer ever responded, the client was never ticketed, and the client’s vehicle showed no visible damage. Months later a warrant was issued and a case was filed for collision involving damage. We moved fast to clear the warrant, secured the client’s video of the exchange, and underscored the lack of corroborating evidence and credibility problems in the complaint. Faced with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 131ST DC

Allegations

A petition for a civil protective order was filed after a disputed incident. We pulled the filings and scrutinized the affidavit and proposed terms. Our team objected to overbroad provisions and to language suggesting unproven other acts, and made clear we would not agree to any family violence finding. We pressed the petitioner for corroboration and prepared to litigate the evidentiary gaps rather than accept a one-sided order. After continued pressure and multiple settings, the other side stood down and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after returning to a former partner’s residence and later exchanging messages, which led to an arrest for prohibited contact. We obtained the police reports, 911 audio, and body camera footage and built a timeline of any communication. During the case, the related civil protective order was nonsuited and the complaining witness indicated they did not wish to proceed. We presented those developments and evidentiary weaknesses to the prosecution. The State dismissed the misdemeanor VPO.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

After chaos erupted near a nightlife area, officers first approached our client as a witness and even directed them to leave. The vehicle could not safely drive because a tire had been punctured during the incident, which led to a dispute and a public intoxication arrest. We pressed for bodycam and scene materials and highlighted the client's cooperation and the sequence of events. We also corroborated that the tire was disabled by the earlier gunfire. With that context, we challenged whether the elements of the offense were met. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

A traffic stop for a minor alleged violation led officers to claim an odor of contraband, remove our client from the car, and search the vehicle, where they found a handgun. We reviewed the stop footage and police reports, then challenged the legality of the stop, the prolonged detention, and the claimed basis for the search. We also underscored that the weapon allegation hinged on proving separate unlawful conduct that the state could not reliably establish. Confronted with these problems and a looming suppression fight, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for an obstruction offense when probation alleged missed reporting, one positive alcohol screen, and a failure to appear that led to a warrant. We secured the violation report, showed that core conditions were completed, and documented the financial and transportation hardships behind the lapses. There were no new arrests and a strong compliance history on interlock and most UAs. We used those facts to push for withdrawal of the revocation filing. The state agreed, the court dismissed the MTRP, and the warrant was lifted without a surrender.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC 13

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the client was found riding with the protected person despite a no contact order from an earlier incident. Officers arrested for violating the order based on their presence together, and no new threats or injuries were alleged. We obtained an affidavit of non-prosecution from the protected person and documented that the contact was voluntary. We pressed the state that incarceration was unnecessary and a conviction would be disproportionate. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 175th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon after an airport checkpoint found a pistol in a backpack the client forgot was inside. A later warrant led to an out-of-state arrest, and we stepped in as counsel and demanded full discovery. We gathered records from the airport incident, confirmed lawful ownership of the firearm, and emphasized there was no intent to carry it where prohibited. We detailed evidentiary weaknesses and made clear we were prepared to litigate any search and seizure issues. The state dismissed the case.

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.
