Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

The case began with a traffic collision at an intersection, airbags deployed and our client was shaken and in pain. Officers reported an odor of alcohol and found packaging from alcoholic beverages, then requested field sobriety tests. Citing injuries from the crash, the client declined, and a blood sample was taken later pursuant to asserted authority. We pulled the reports, bodycam, the blood warrant, and the lab records, focusing on the timing and reliability of the draw. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred adjudication with probation terms.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

Store loss prevention stopped the client over a low value item and officers issued a citation for Class C theft. The client was concerned about old theft history and the risk of enhancement. We got in early, tracked the filing, and at the first setting obtained discovery, including reports and any video, then conferred with the prosecutor. We emphasized the minimal loss, the time since prior issues, and the client’s cooperation. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion of terms.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

A new arrest triggered a warrant and motions to revoke our client's felony probation. We moved fast, entered the case, planned a voluntary appearance because the court required in person review before setting bond, and coordinated with a bondsman to speed release. We prepared mitigation showing steady employment, full payment of supervision fees, prior compliance, and a plan for treatment and stricter monitoring. At the hearing we argued against revocation. The court continued supervision and kept the client on probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was accused of violating supervision and a warrant issued. We mobilized quickly, coordinated a planned appearance, and lined up a bondsman so release could happen as soon as the court set bond. We dug into the file, gathered proof of completed fees, steady employment, and past compliance, and proposed a concrete plan to address the alleged missteps. After negotiating with the prosecutor and probation, we persuaded the court that continued community supervision was the right outcome. Probation was imposed, avoiding prison time.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

The client was stopped late at night for an allegedly wide turn and arrested for a second DWI after roadside tests and a breath sample reportedly over the limit. We moved fast to request the ALR hearing to protect driving privileges and obtained the video evidence, breath-test records, and all reports. Our defense zeroed in on the basis for the stop, the manner the field tests were given, and whether breath-test procedures were followed. After we pressed those issues and prepared to litigate suppression, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Police arrested our client for a second DWI after a low-speed crash into a commercial gate shortly after venue security had detained then released them. The client declined field sobriety testing and a warrant blood draw did not occur until several hours later. We dug into the reports and video, pinpointing the significant delay between driving and the sample, and the absence of standardized tests to anchor intoxication. We reinforced mitigation by securing character letters and proof of proactive alcohol-education work. Faced with these issues, the state agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser misdemeanor.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

After a domestic argument over a phone, our client was arrested when officers documented a minor bruise on the complainant. He had a visible scratch that was noted at intake. Initial statements were taken through a child family member translating before an interpreter arrived. We obtained the police reports, documented that both parties grabbed for the phone, and highlighted translation and credibility problems. We also prepared a non-prosecution affidavit and relayed the complainant's wishes. Facing these weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a late-night single-vehicle incident, the client hit a curb, disabled the car, and called for a tow. When officers arrived, the client was outside the vehicle with the keys in a pocket. Field sobriety tests were administered and a later station breath test reportedly read over the limit, leading to arrest. We obtained the report, body-cam, and breath-test records, emphasizing that no officer observed driving and contact began after the breakdown. Leveraging those gaps, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court.

Allegations

Our client was accused of burglarizing a closed building after going there with an acquaintance who said they had permission and produced a key to the gate. Surveillance showed others cutting a lock, but our client was not pictured entering or removing anything and was in a vehicle when the confrontation began. We reviewed bodycam and reports confirming the client flagged down police and repeatedly said they believed they were authorized to be there. We pressed the lack of evidence of entry or intent and raised credibility concerns about the supposed organizer. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Officers stopped our client in a residential area, then added a felony possession count after claiming they found a small bag with suspected cocaine residue. The client did not know where the bag was supposedly located and denied ownership. We demanded dashcam and bodycam and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the search. We pressed the state on knowing possession and the thin, residue-only proof. Facing suppression and evidentiary challenges, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Stopped in a residential area after patrol flagged the vehicle as suspicious, the client was arrested for a second DWI. They declined field sobriety testing and refused a breath test, and officers never obtained a blood sample. We pulled dashcam and bodycam video and challenged the basis for the stop and the probable cause for arrest. The materials showed no clear traffic violation and left the state with no chemical evidence. We leveraged those weaknesses to secure a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187 DC

Allegations

The case arose after a property incident that drew police attention. During a search of the client’s vehicle, officers reported finding a small baggie that later tested positive for methamphetamine. The client consistently denied knowing it was there, the vehicle paperwork was not fully in their name, and another person had access to the car. We obtained bodycam and reports, challenged the basis for the search, and pressed the state on proof of knowing possession and chain-of-custody issues. We leveraged these points to secure deferred adjudication.
