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

Assault - Family Violence (With Prior)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence after a 911 call. Officers relied on initial statements alleging our client caused injury to a family member, and the charge was enhanced due to an old prior. The client reported he was struck first and only pushed away while trying to leave. We dissected the police report and dispatch records, mapped the sequence of events, and highlighted evidence consistent with self-defense and disengagement. After presenting these issues to the prosecution, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for speeding and crossing a line led to a DWI arrest. The client performed roadside tests and later consented to a breath test that read 0.09. At the jail the breath machine shut down mid-test and was reset. We obtained the dash and bodycam along with jail footage, then challenged compliance with the required observation period and breath-test procedures. Using the borderline BAC and those irregularities, we negotiated a reduction to obstruction of a highway with deferred probation.

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police stopped the individual after minor traffic infractions and made a DWI arrest. At roadside the officer performed only the eye test, the client declined balance tests because of a leg injury, and later refused a breath sample. A warrant blood draw registered about 0.098. We secured the video, noted differences between the roadside explanation and the report, and highlighted test limitations and the timing of the draw. Facing those issues, the prosecution reduced the charge to Obstruction of a Highway with deferred probation.

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

Injury to a Child, Elderly Individual, or Disabled Individual

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court.

Allegations

An injury to an elderly individual allegation arose after a confrontation near an open area where a man confronted our client and a companion, threatened violence, and initiated contact. We canvassed nearby homes and secured video showing the complainant push first and later grab our client. When we compared the footage to police reports and witness statements, the stories did not match. Using those credibility problems, we pressed the prosecution to reduce the case to a lesser charge with deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

After a multi-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI and documented an open container in the vehicle. We dug into the police paperwork and crash details, focusing on how the investigation was conducted and the fact there were no reported injuries or added charges from the wreck. We highlighted the ambiguity around who possessed the container and pressed the state on proof of impairment versus accident dynamics. Through negotiation, the case resolved in a plea to probation, allowing the client to complete terms in the community.

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

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after allegedly cutting off another vehicle. Without a license on hand, they declined balance tests due to longstanding leg and back issues, and completed only the eye test. At the station they submitted a breath sample that tested high. We obtained the videos and breath-test paperwork, examined the officer's HGN instructions, the observation period, and machine records, and paired that with proactive classes and character letters. That pressure led to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for aggravated robbery after a roadside encounter spiraled into a confrontation. The client reported being cut off, followed briefly to get a plate number, and captured video of the exchange before being chased and shot at. We obtained and presented that footage, engaged the investigating officer, and pressed the state on the lack of evidence supporting a robbery. When the complaining witness could not be produced, we set the matter to force a decision. 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.
