Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police alleged the client interfered during an active scene and arrested them for interfering with public duty. From the outset, the client insisted there was no basis for the charge. We obtained the incident materials and focused on whether the reported conduct actually hindered or obstructed officers as the statute requires. After pressing those issues with the prosecution and making clear we were prepared to litigate them, the state agreed it could not proceed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Speeding

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was cited for speeding. We secured dash and body camera footage and the citation. The video showed steady lane control, and the body cam lacked audio, while the paperwork contained checked boxes and details that did not match what actually occurred. We confronted the prosecution with those discrepancies and questioned the reliability of the state's proof on speed. The state dismissed the speeding case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, our client received a citation for minor in possession after the officer searched the vehicle and found a container in the back seat. The client did not consent to a search, and the citation itself reflected no search conducted. We obtained the videos and report, noted that the bodycam lacked audio and the dashcam showed careful driving, and highlighted contradictions in the paperwork. We challenged the legal basis for the search and the reliability of the officer's account. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

While on felony community supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke after missed reporting months and a new resisting arrest allegation that followed a traffic stop. We stepped in immediately, contacted probation, and pushed to avoid a second arrest warrant while the alleged violations were consolidated. Our team requested body worn camera and other records from the arrest and challenged the basis for the new allegation. We also documented the client’s recent efforts to get back into compliance. After negotiations with probation and the DA, revocation was set aside and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid

Location

Bexar County, CC 9

Allegations

The client was stopped during a traffic patrol and cited for driving while license invalid. We obtained the officer’s report and the driving record, then mapped a timeline of the alleged suspension. The documentation did not match the date of the stop, and the state’s proof of notice and status was incomplete. We made clear we would challenge those elements and the admissibility of the evidence. Facing significant proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Injury

Location

Bexar County, 187TH District Court

Allegations

After a rear-end collision, the client parked nearby, briefly walked away, then returned as first responders arrived. The other driver later reported back pain and EMS responded. Prosecutors pursued a felony accident involving injury, alleging he failed to remain. We obtained the crash report and EMS records and emphasized that he returned, that his account referenced a memory lapse, and that the evidence did not clearly establish intent. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the charge and he received deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Harassment (Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

The client was investigated for harassment after sending texts and posting on social media accusing a family member of harming a child. We stepped in early, handled communications with the investigator, and compiled the texts, call history, and surrounding context showing there were no threats and that the statements related to reporting suspected abuse. We challenged the evidentiary basis and confirmed the complainants did not wish to proceed. The investigator marked the case unfounded, and it was dismissed.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace 3

Allegations

The client was ticketed for Class C disorderly conduct after a school incident. Staff insisted the student move while they were on the phone with a parent, a fire alarm sounded, campus police arrived, and the situation escalated. Administrators alleged profane remarks and that a chair was thrown at a wall, but no one was harmed. We obtained school and police records, pressed for any camera and body camera footage, and presented the IEP and safety-plan context along with the weeks long delay in filing. Confronted with these issues and a prepared defense, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Prohibited Weapon

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a late-night crash, officers encountered our client seated in a vehicle. They claimed to see shell casings and searched the car without consent, then reported finding a handgun with an aftermarket device that could convert it to automatic fire. We moved quickly preindictment, requested the reports and video, and scrutinized the basis for the warrantless search and any link between the items and our client. We emphasized evidentiary gaps and the client's clean history while making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

Officers approached a parked car outside a residence while canvassing a nearby disturbance and found our underage client in the passenger seat, visibly intoxicated after leaving a bar. The client admitted to drinking, and a companion confirmed it. Officers verified ID and issued a citation for minor in possession. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized whether the contact was a consensual encounter, and flagged a defect in where the complaint alleged consumption occurred. Using that leverage, we negotiated deferred probation with reduced penalties, an alcohol class, and service, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers alleged the client was unlawfully carrying a weapon. We obtained the police reports and discovery and focused on when and how the weapon was discovered, and whether the statutory elements were actually met. Our review flagged inconsistencies in the narrative and missing details needed to prove unlawful carry. We presented those deficiencies to the prosecutor and set the matter for litigation. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 438th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, the petitioner sought a civil protective order claiming ongoing danger. We gathered screenshots and call logs showing the petitioner repeatedly initiating contact, plus police reports documenting the client’s efforts to avoid contact. We also provided videos and messages from prior relationships that undermined the petitioner’s credibility. At the hearing, we emphasized these inconsistencies and the absence of any current threat. The court dismissed the protective order.
