Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after a fitting-room incident. She had placed clothing left in a stall into her bag, panicked, and tried to leave the items in a restroom before staff blocked her, took her to a back office, seized her phone, and pressured her to sign paperwork. They also claimed she took jewelry, which she denied. We pressed the state for discovery and challenged whether she ever passed the final point of sale, the inflated valuation, and the jewelry allegation. With a theft class certificate and strong character letters in hand, we secured pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was arrested for a first-offense DWI after roadside sobriety tests. At the station they gave a breath sample under .15, there was no crash, and they remained respectful and cooperative. Our team obtained the video and police report and scrutinized how the tests were administered and documented. We strengthened the defense with mitigation, gathering character letters and documentation of counseling and alcohol-education steps. Leveraging the lower breath result and our mitigation package, we pressed for a non-DWI outcome. The charge was reduced and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for felony drug possession after officers detained him during a street stop and reported finding contraband in a pocket. We secured the police reports and body camera video and scrutinized the reason for the detention and how a brief pat-down became a full search. The footage undercut key statements in the narrative, and the state could not identify solid probable cause beyond a minor stop. We prepared a suppression challenge and laid out the inconsistencies to the prosecutor. Confronted with compromised evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

A household argument turned into an arrest when our client, trying to separate relatives, made brief incidental contact with a family member who then called 911. He was cooperative with responding officers, and no injuries were documented. We got involved early, the family members signed affidavits of non-prosecution, and we obtained the 911 audio, body cam, and reports. Our review showed the contact was accidental and inconsistent with an intentional assault. We presented those issues to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, DC226

Allegations

The case stemmed from a protective order issued after a domestic dispute. While in custody, the client placed several recorded calls to the protected party, and prosecutors filed a felony continuous violation based on multiple contacts within twelve months. The initial offer was seven years of deferred supervision, which the client felt was excessive. We highlighted the client's counseling work, months of strict no contact, and full compliance, and pressed the state on proportionality and the intent of the calls. The result was a negotiated three-year deferred probation, keeping a felony conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC11

Allegations

After a minor collision, the client pulled into a lot where a heated exchange followed. When officers arrived, they moved straight to an arrest for DWI. The client declined roadside tests and later provided a breath sample reported over .15. We obtained the videos and records, challenged the rush to arrest and the reliability of the breath procedure, and documented the circumstances of the collision. We addressed restitution for the other driver and pressed for a fair resolution. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a non-DWI charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped soon after leaving a parking area, the client was arrested for a second DWI. She declined roadside tests, a warrant issued, and a blood draw later showed an elevated BAC. We reviewed the video, questioned the basis for the stop and the blood protocol, and assembled mitigation, including treatment steps and strong character letters. Emphasizing that the prior DWI was long ago and showing current compliance, we pressed negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a lesser misdemeanor with probation, avoiding second-offense penalties.

Charge

Injury to a Child (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

After a school pickup, the client was accused of felony injury to a child when two youths exited her vehicle and fought with others nearby. She remained in the car with younger children, and CPS investigated and closed the case without action. We dug into the police reports and discovery, highlighting the spontaneous nature of the altercation and the lack of any act by our client that encouraged or facilitated it. We emphasized the CPS findings and the context of the incident to the prosecution and prepared for trial. Facing weak proof on essential elements, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Police stopped our client for alleged erratic driving and arrested them for DWI. They admitted to drinking, attempted roadside tests despite an old Achilles injury and knee issues, and later gave a breath sample over .15. We dug into the videos and reports, highlighting how those medical limitations affected balance and pressing the state on missing roadside body-cam. The client completed alcohol education up front. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument that began when a ride home from a bar turned confrontational. At the residence, an object was thrown, injuring the complainant’s hand. We moved quickly to document the client’s clean history, coordinated an affidavit of nonprosecution from the complainant, and compiled proof of immediate engagement in counseling, classes, and support meetings. We presented this mitigation to the prosecution and pressed for a nontrial resolution. The case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Under 15

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop with a child in the vehicle, the client was arrested for DWI with child. He performed field sobriety tests and later provided two breath samples at the station, both below the legal limit. We obtained body and dash camera footage and the breath-test records, and scrutinized the stop and test administration. The videos showed cooperative performance and no clear basis for impairment. We pressed the lack of proof of intoxication at the time of driving in pre-indictment talks. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Insurance Fraud (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

An insurance company accused our client of fraud after a relative took the client’s vehicle without permission, was involved in a police pursuit, and crashed. The client filed a claim before that detail surfaced, then received a letter warning of possible indictment if he came in to talk. We intervened, cut off direct contact, compiled correspondence and prior statements showing no intent to deceive, and engaged the prosecutor about restitution rather than charges. We monitored the file and pressed the weaknesses. The State dismissed the case.
