Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Officers responded to a rear-end crash and arrested our client for DWI after the client admitted to drinking, refused a breath test, and was subjected to a blood draw by warrant. We obtained the crash report and discovery, pressed for the blood lab file and any video, and documented gaps and inconsistencies in how the investigation was written up. After the state refiled the case with a high BAC enhancement, we challenged their ability to proceed and set the matter for a contested hearing. Facing evidentiary and timing problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Police approached our client while dealing with a flat tire and initiated a DWI investigation. The client agreed to a blood draw at a hospital, which later came back at 0.00 for alcohol. Despite that result, the officer pursued a drug screen that dragged on for months without clarity. We secured the lab documentation, pressed for full discovery, and highlighted the weak indicators of impairment given the mechanical issue and how the roadside evaluation was handled. Meanwhile we monitored for any warrant activity and kept pressure on the reviewing attorney to make a charging decision. With no reliable evidence of intoxication, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material

Location

Bexar County, DC187

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, the complainant reported that our client threatened to share intimate images that had been exchanged during their relationship. He had forwarded the photos back to a phone she used, not realizing it synced to a work account, and nothing was ever posted publicly. We gathered the message history and context showing no actual publication and highlighted the ongoing co-parenting issues. After multiple settings and negotiations, the State agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was arrested after a dispute at a campground where he admitted making a rude comment about a manager and was accused of following the manager’s spouse. He denied any stalking, and the arrest relied mainly on brief encounters and a few witness statements. We secured the police report, compared the accounts line by line, and challenged whether the statutory elements of harassment were satisfied. We engaged the prosecutor early, emphasized the lack of probable cause and credibility issues, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case in full.

Charge

Continuous Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client for alleged continuous family violence, citing more than one reported incident. A strict no contact order and electronic monitoring were imposed. We moved quickly to obtain the record and worked with the complaining witness, who signed an affidavit of non‑prosecution and confirmed her injuries were from an unrelated fall, not an assault. We presented that to the prosecutor and pushed to relax bond conditions. With a non‑cooperating witness and weak proof, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

Our client was arrested for public intoxication after a dispute with a bouncer outside a bar, and officers documented signs of intoxication and confrontational language. The client lived hours away, so we immediately filed representation, reset the appearance date, and obtained the body camera and arrest paperwork. We compared the officer’s narrative to the video and challenged whether the elements of the offense were met. After focused negotiations with the prosecutor, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

Another driver followed and accused the client of causing damage after a minor encounter. No officer ever responded, the client was never ticketed, and the client’s vehicle showed no visible damage. Months later a warrant was issued and a case was filed for collision involving damage. We moved fast to clear the warrant, secured the client’s video of the exchange, and underscored the lack of corroborating evidence and credibility problems in the complaint. Faced with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute at a residence. The client reported he was trying to leave when a struggle occurred, and the complainant went to the hospital the next day and alleged strangulation. We pushed for full discovery and built a timeline from texts, call logs, and police contacts that showed repeated outreach from the complainant despite a no contact order and conflicts with the initial account. We also obtained third-party video and messages reflecting prior volatility. Confronted with these credibility problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged swerving, the client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample below .15. We secured all videos and reports, pressed for missing dash footage of the stop, and found the investigation was led by a very new officer who gave flawed instructions on key tests. The footage showed the client did not appear as impaired as reported. We prepared suppression arguments on the stop and the SFSTs, and used that leverage in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received deferred probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 131ST DC

Allegations

A petition for a civil protective order was filed after a disputed incident. We pulled the filings and scrutinized the affidavit and proposed terms. Our team objected to overbroad provisions and to language suggesting unproven other acts, and made clear we would not agree to any family violence finding. We pressed the petitioner for corroboration and prepared to litigate the evidentiary gaps rather than accept a one-sided order. After continued pressure and multiple settings, the other side stood down and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after returning to a former partner’s residence and later exchanging messages, which led to an arrest for prohibited contact. We obtained the police reports, 911 audio, and body camera footage and built a timeline of any communication. During the case, the related civil protective order was nonsuited and the complaining witness indicated they did not wish to proceed. We presented those developments and evidentiary weaknesses to the prosecution. The State dismissed the misdemeanor VPO.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL11

Allegations

The client was stopped late at night after leaving two bars and arrested on suspicion of DWI. Unsure of the reason for the stop, the client declined field sobriety tests and the breath test, and a blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We pulled the dash and body camera videos, scrutinized the basis for the stop, and tracked the lab process. At the same time, we built strong mitigation with early DWI coursework, AA attendance, and interlock compliance. Leveraging both fronts, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and minimizing jail exposure.
