Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 227th DC

Allegations

On a crowded highway, a pickup cut off our client, brake-checked repeatedly, and then displayed a handgun toward the car. Fearing for safety, the client fired several shots, striking the truck but injuring no one. We obtained the discovery and highlighted that the complainant first denied having a gun, yet records confirmed he was armed. We framed the case around self-defense, documented our client's compliance on supervision and steady work, and pressed negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested our client based on an allegation that he brandished a firearm and made a threat. We secured the discovery and compared the complainant’s initial account to later statements, which shifted in key ways. The client’s family provided messages from the complainant that conflicted with the report and undercut claims of fear. We also documented prior incidents suggesting our client acted out of concern for his safety. We compiled these contradictions into an impeachment packet and pressed the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, 2025PF21516

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated to tossing soft items, and the client admitted throwing a trash can that broke. A 911 call brought officers, who noted a bruise on the partner's finger and made an arrest. The partner repeatedly told authorities she did not want the case pursued. We gathered the police records and a notarized affidavit of non-prosecution from the complaining witness, then presented it to the prosecutor and kept steady pressure. With limited corroboration and no cooperation from the complainant, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

After chaos erupted near a nightlife area, officers first approached our client as a witness and even directed them to leave. The vehicle could not safely drive because a tire had been punctured during the incident, which led to a dispute and a public intoxication arrest. We pressed for bodycam and scene materials and highlighted the client's cooperation and the sequence of events. We also corroborated that the tire was disabled by the earlier gunfire. With that context, we challenged whether the elements of the offense were met. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

A traffic stop for a minor alleged violation led officers to claim an odor of contraband, remove our client from the car, and search the vehicle, where they found a handgun. We reviewed the stop footage and police reports, then challenged the legality of the stop, the prolonged detention, and the claimed basis for the search. We also underscored that the weapon allegation hinged on proving separate unlawful conduct that the state could not reliably establish. Confronted with these problems and a looming suppression fight, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop where an officer said the driver stopped on the line and claimed to smell marijuana, the vehicle was searched and a vape cartridge was seized, leading to a felony possession charge. We got involved early, challenged the legality of the stop and the probable cause for the search, and pressed the state to prove the substance was unlawful by concentration rather than mere presence. We highlighted testing limitations and chain-of-custody concerns and prepared to litigate suppression. Confronted with these defects before indictment, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

The client was stopped for alleged swerving and given roadside sobriety tests. Despite reporting a prior spinal condition that affects balance, the tests proceeded, the client was arrested and the vehicle was searched. After a refusal at the station, officers obtained a warrant and a blood sample was taken well after the stop. We reviewed video and records, emphasizing the medical limitations, the absence of any admissions, and the delay in the draw. We pressed these weaknesses with the state, and the charge was reduced with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Workers reported a car clipping traffic barrels in a construction area, and police arrived shortly after. The client declined a roadside breath test and was taken in where a blood sample was drawn. We obtained the police reports and lab records, highlighted the lack of reliable field sobriety testing, and documented the client's back issues and prescribed injections. We pressed the prosecution on the stop, the medical factors that could explain observed clues, and the handling of the blood evidence. The state agreed to reduce the DWI to a lesser, non-DWI offense, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for an obstruction offense when probation alleged missed reporting, one positive alcohol screen, and a failure to appear that led to a warrant. We secured the violation report, showed that core conditions were completed, and documented the financial and transportation hardships behind the lapses. There were no new arrests and a strong compliance history on interlock and most UAs. We used those facts to push for withdrawal of the revocation filing. The state agreed, the court dismissed the MTRP, and the warrant was lifted without a surrender.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, officers detained our client and searched him, reporting a small amount of suspected narcotics wrapped in tissue in his sock. We secured the patrol video, arrest reports, and lab records, and focused on why a search inside clothing was conducted after a simple traffic violation. We pressed the state on the lack of clear probable cause and on proof of knowing possession. Facing a suppression fight and evidentiary weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer alleged excessive speed on a highway and directed the vehicle to a nearby side street. Field sobriety tests followed, and the officer had the client repeat the one leg stand even after the client reported a knee issue. A breath test later read 0.084, only slightly above the limit and taken well after driving. We dissected the officer's instructions and timing, documented the knee limitation and repetition of the test, and challenged the weight of a marginal breath result. Faced with those weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC 13

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the client was found riding with the protected person despite a no contact order from an earlier incident. Officers arrested for violating the order based on their presence together, and no new threats or injuries were alleged. We obtained an affidavit of non-prosecution from the protected person and documented that the contact was voluntary. We pressed the state that incarceration was unnecessary and a conviction would be disproportionate. The case resolved with deferred probation.
