Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Our client was accused of criminal trespass after returning to a residence tied to a prior dispute. Police had issued a trespass warning earlier, and when a neighbor called 911 the client stayed at the scene and was arrested. We obtained the reports, body-cam, and 911 audio, emphasizing there was no forced entry or damage, the client was cooperative, and the complainant initially hesitated about pressing charges. We leveraged those points in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 9

Allegations

Following a dispute at a private residence, the client returned after being told not to come back. Officers arrived while the client was still on the property and made an arrest for criminal trespass. We obtained the offense reports, 911 audio, and bodycam to pin down what was actually alleged and to show there was no damage, threats, or violence. We highlighted the client’s cooperation and proactive steps taken afterward. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Years after a store incident involving a small item under $100, our client learned a warrant had been issued for failure to appear. The client reported never receiving the citation or court settings because notices kept going to an old address. We pulled the file, tracked the attempted notices, and documented that the state had not exercised due diligence. We also stressed the evidentiary problems created by the case's age, including unavailable witnesses and video. After pressing these issues in negotiations, the state dismissed the charge and the warrant was cleared.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 290th DC

Allegations

Police alleged that during an online marketplace meet-up for an electronics sale, the client lifted a shirt to reveal what appeared to be a handgun and took the item. We obtained the reports and available video, and emphasized that no one was injured and that the object displayed was a BB pistol according to the evidence. We assembled mitigation and engaged the prosecutor early to show this was a lapse in judgment, not a violent attack. Facing serious felony exposure, the client avoided a conviction. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and probation.

Charge

Forgery of a Financial Instrument

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Our client was accused of forgery tied to an older incident that resurfaced long after it allegedly occurred. We obtained the police report and discovery and examined the paperwork the state claimed connected the instrument to our client. The file lacked reliable identification and offered no solid link showing who created or presented the document. We compiled these deficiencies and pressed the prosecution on their proof problems. Faced with the evidentiary gaps, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, 290th District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested on a burglary of a building case after officers alleged an unlawful entry tied to a theft attempt. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, scrutinized the police reports, and pressed the state on gaps in their proof. At the same time, we assembled mitigation, including character letters and proof of enrollment in classes, to show this was an isolated lapse and that the client was taking responsibility. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record if probation is completed.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

Allegations

The client called police to have his pregnant partner leave after a dispute at a residence. Officers saw a red mark on her hand and arrested him for assault on a pregnant person. We acted pre-indictment, secured the reports, body-cam and 911 audio, and showed he was the one seeking help. The materials aligned with his account that contact happened as he shut a bathroom door while being followed, pointing to an accidental injury. The complainant also expressed she did not want prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Officers encountered the client after a single-car crash while he tried to steer around an existing wreck marked by flares, with friends in the vehicle. He declined a roadside breath test and, after field sobriety exercises, was taken in for a blood draw conducted hours later. We obtained the bodycam, reports, and lab documentation, emphasizing the chaotic crash setting, the officer’s quick conclusions, and the long delay before the sample. We challenged chain of custody and analytical reliability. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

Officers were called to a residence for a medical issue, not a traffic stop. They found our client seated in a parked vehicle, conducted roadside tests, obtained a breath sample, and filed a first offense DWI. We reviewed the police reports and bodycam, which confirmed officers never saw any driving and contacted a stationary car. We mapped the timeline to show any alcohol indicators came after the car was parked, undermining proof of operation while intoxicated. After we pressed these issues and signaled we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After an argument at a hotel parking lot following a night out, a bystander called 911 and officers arrested our client for family violence based on the initial statement and minor scrapes reported. We moved quickly, requesting body cam, 911 audio, and reports, and sought any hotel surveillance before it could be overwritten. The complainant later submitted an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we delivered to the prosecutor, and we documented the client’s counseling efforts and character references. Faced with shaky evidence and no cooperation, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 379th DC

Allegations

The client was arrested for felony drug possession after a welfare check, when officers found suspected meth in a pocket during a mental health crisis. He had recently left treatment and was on parole, which heightened the exposure. We obtained police reports, bodycam, and lab results, challenged the circumstances of the discovery, and prepared a mitigation package with medical records and a concrete treatment plan. We pressed these issues in negotiations and coordinated with parole to avoid unnecessary incarceration. The state reduced the charge, and the court credited our client with time served.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 399th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a dispute at an apartment complex. Discovery showed a neighbor confronted the client while he was managing two dogs, put him in a chokehold, and advanced again after he broke free. The client fired a single shot into his own vehicle to create distance and left. We obtained and reviewed bodycam, reports, and interviews, which conflicted on who started the fight and where the gun was aimed, with some accounts even disputing a shot. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state. The prosecution dismissed the case.
