Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

Officers responded to a 911 report of a car near a residence and alleged the driver struck a tree before arresting her for DWI with a breath test over .15. She had pulled over to rest and was taken to a hospital, so no roadside tests occurred. We secured the bodycam, dash video, and dispatch logs, which showed no actual crash, only low branches brushing the vehicle. We also examined the breath machine records and how the specimen was obtained and warned. Leveraging those issues and proof of completed DWI classes, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested the client even though he was the one who called 911 reporting he had been struck. We obtained the 911 audio, body cam video, and the offense report. The footage and statements did not align, her account of the contact and injuries shifted, and a later protective order narrative conflicted with what was said on scene. We highlighted those contradictions and the context of a brief phone struggle that had already ended. Confronted with these credibility issues and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

Police responded to a 911 call after a domestic argument and arrested our client for assault based on superficial facial scratches. The client reported only a brief push, and the other person told officers they did not want prosecution. We requested the body camera video and highlighted investigative gaps, including how officers characterized the incident and seized a wedding ring as the supposed weapon. We prepared a sworn statement route for the complainant and pressed the DA on the weak evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case, and we moved to have the ring returned.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a no-contact order was issued, a third party reported that the client and the protected person were together, and officers made an arrest for violating the order. We pulled the discovery and pinned down the scope and timing of the conditions. We documented the co-parenting context and that the contact was consensual. We presented this to the prosecutor, challenged whether the evidence proved a knowing violation, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a night of drinking, a dispute spilled into a parking lot and later a residence. Several people told police our client made threatening statements, and officers made an arrest for terroristic threat. We obtained and reviewed the police reports, body camera video, and 911 recordings. The evidence showed the accusations centered on words said during a chaotic, intoxicated encounter, with no physical injuries alleged. We presented our analysis to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police were called after a late-night dispute at a residence where multiple people claimed our client made threats of serious harm. No one was injured and officers arrived after the fact. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera video, and reports, and compared each witness account to what was captured on scene. The statements did not line up on what was said or whether anyone was placed in immediate fear, and there was no independent corroboration. We presented those problems to the prosecutor, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

The client was found asleep in a parked vehicle outside a bar when officers knocked on the window. After waking, police conducted roadside tests and, when the client declined a breath test, obtained a warrant for a blood draw. Lab results later showed an elevated alcohol concentration, but no officer had observed any driving and the car was initially off. We secured and reviewed the videos, focused on the disputed element of operation, and highlighted the decision not to drive. With that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a heated, alcohol-fueled dispute where bystanders claimed the client made threats. We obtained the 911 audio, body-worn camera, and written statements. The recordings did not match the reports, and witnesses disagreed about what was said and whether anyone actually felt imminent danger. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state, making clear we were prepared to litigate the weaknesses. Confronted with credibility issues and thin evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Officers arrested our client after a domestic dispute when the other party reported an assault. We got involved immediately, requested the police file and video, and preserved text messages and other communications that put the allegation in context. The client provided character letters and strictly followed bond and no contact conditions while we engaged the prosecutor. The complaining witness later signed a non-prosecution affidavit and declined to cooperate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Filed. Felony

Allegations

An argument at a home escalated when our client tried to gather belongings and leave, and the complainant blocked the doorway before contacting 911. Officers arrived, documented no visible injuries, and let the client depart. Despite that, a felony family-violence strangulation allegation was later pursued. We engaged early, pre-indictment, and obtained the bodycam, 911 records, and reports. Those materials showed the lack of injury and on-scene statements that undercut the claim. We presented the problems to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Bexar County, Live Oak MC

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a headlight issue, officers noticed open containers and searched the vehicle, finding several THC vape cartridges and related hardware. The client was cited for paraphernalia while facing the possibility of something more serious. We moved fast, pulled the reports, and pressed the prosecutor to keep the matter limited to the citation. We then negotiated a short deferred adjudication with minimal conditions and no conviction. We provided a clear plan to complete the requirements and protect the client’s record.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

Our client was stopped and questioned about alcohol, admitting to a couple of drinks. Officers conducted field sobriety tests despite the client explaining chronic balance issues and a recent leg injury. At the station, a breath test was reported as about double the legal limit, triggering the enhanced allegation. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the tests, and the reliability of the breath device, and documented the client’s medical limitations and clean compliance. Using that leverage and mitigation, we secured a reduced charge with deferred probation.
