Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after arranging a tow to retrieve a vehicle from a residence covered by the order. He planned to meet officers first and believed the protected party was not present, but the tow operator proceeded, the resident called police, and he was arrested. We reconstructed the timeline, documented his efforts to coordinate through third parties and remain off the property, and clarified the scope of the order. Faced with the lack of intentional contact, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 7

Allegations

A citation issued after a heated exchange at a youth sports event spilled into the parking lot. The complainant alleged our client pushed first, but our client reported being shoved and used brief contact only to create space, and a bystander recorded part of it. We engaged early, collected our client's account and witness details, and demanded any video and reports. With conflicting statements and no clear proof of offensive contact beyond a momentary shove, we highlighted self defense and credibility problems. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

Our client was stopped after an officer said the vehicle swerved and nearly struck another car shortly after leaving a store. The driver admitted to drinking, declined roadside tests, and later provided a breath sample around 0.185. With a prior DWI many years earlier, the stakes were high. We pulled the dash and body camera footage and dug into the basis for the stop, the breath machine's maintenance and calibration, and whether required observation procedures were followed. We pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The case was reduced to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was stopped on a highway and arrested for DWI after an officer claimed a stop-sign violation. He told the officer he had a severe needle phobia, which was treated as a refusal, and a blood draw was later taken under a warrant well after the stop. We obtained the police reports and video, mapped the timeline from stop to draw, and challenged both the basis for the stop and whether the test proved intoxication at the time of driving. We built a suppression strategy and pressed the prosecution on these weaknesses. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

Police found our client stopped in a drive-thru with the car in park and began a DWI investigation. After the officer moved the car to a nearby lot, the client performed field sobriety tests and later gave a breath sample at the station. We obtained dash and body camera footage, station surveillance, and breath-testing maintenance records. We challenged the instructions, testing conditions, and machine documentation, and presented those concerns to the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

Our client was arrested for DWI after a traffic crash. Officers performed field sobriety tests, transported the client for processing, and later recorded a breath result over .15. We obtained the videos and noted that officers repeated the eye test at the station, raising questions about the reliability of their initial observations. Discovery also showed the state lacked the necessary breath-test supervisor to support the instrument's results. We set the case for trial, pressed those weaknesses, and negotiated a reduction to standard DWI with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to a Class C assault-by-contact citation. The client was never arrested, only later summoned to appear. We pulled 911 audio and bodycam, which captured the complainant stating she initiated physical contact and showed no injuries. We organized those clips, preserved relevant messages, and set the case for trial to apply pressure when the witness could not be secured. After sustained negotiations and review of our materials, the prosecution determined the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

Probation moved to revoke after the client missed multiple scheduled breath tests and received alcohol alerts on a monitoring device. The client self‑surrendered on the warrant and bonded out. We obtained the motion and underlying records, reviewed the testing data, and collected proof of completed classes. We presented a concrete compliance plan and mitigation to the prosecutor, pushing for continued supervision rather than jail. The court accepted deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Assault (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

After an altercation outside a venue, our client was charged when a confrontation with a group became a chaotic fight. We obtained the venue’s single-angle video and showed that several people initiated contact and the client responded while surrounded. We pressed the state on authenticating the footage and whether it actually established identity or serious bodily injury. We also lined up defense witnesses. Facing these evidentiary problems and our readiness for trial, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged speeding, the client was ordered out of the car, denied drinking, and performed field sobriety tests that were repeated. At the station, a breath sample reportedly read over .15. We pulled the body-cam, dash video, police report, and breath records, then challenged the basis for the stop and the way the tests were administered, including the repeated instructions and lack of a clear speed reading. Using those issues in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a lesser DWI with deferred terms.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested in separate incidents for a DWI and a drug case, triggering a motion to revoke. We met with the client in custody, reviewed the alleged violations and the status of the new cases, and prepared for the hearing. We assembled mitigation with family support and a concrete treatment and alcohol monitoring plan to address the root issues. In negotiations we emphasized rehabilitation and the limited sentencing exposure on the existing case. The court continued supervision, keeping the client on probation with added conditions.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 12

Allegations

The client was stopped at night for an alleged equipment problem and put through roadside tests by two different officers. One indicated the client did fine, another claimed eye clues and made the arrest. The client refused a breath test after arrest, and a blood sample was taken later. We scrutinized the justification for the stop, the inconsistent administration of the tests, the client's known vision issues, and the handling and timing of the blood draw. Leveraging these weaknesses, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser, non-DWI offense with deferred probation.
