Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Resisting Arrest

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

The client was found asleep on a sidewalk and taken to jail, where the case was filed as resisting arrest. We obtained the arrest report and booking records, showing the contact started as a public intoxication pickup and that the client's impaired state and memory gaps made willful resistance questionable. We used those circumstances in negotiations and pushed for a more proportionate outcome. The charge was reduced to a lesser offense, and the court credited time already served, resolving the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

We obtained discovery and scrutinized every piece of the state's proof, from the intoxication evidence to the enhancement allegations based on prior convictions. We pressed for video, calibration and certification records, and documents linking the priors to our client, and found material gaps and inconsistencies. We set the case for contested hearings and made clear we were ready for trial. With their key issues exposed and admissibility in doubt, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL 14

Allegations

After a night out at a couple of bars, the client was stopped by police with no crash and was arrested. The reason for the stop was unclear, and the client only remembered parts of the roadside tests. They agreed to a breath test but did not know the reported number. With prior DWI history, the stakes were high. We requested discovery and scrutinized the basis for the stop, the officer's instructions during the field tests, and the breath testing procedures. We pressed these issues with the prosecution and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 379th DC

Allegations

Probation filed a motion to revoke our client's misdemeanor probation after a new arrest. We moved quickly to obtain the revocation packet and the reports tied to the allegation. Our team dissected the claimed violations and identified evidentiary gaps that would make revocation difficult to prove. We set the matter for a contested setting and pressed the prosecution to meet its burden. Facing those issues, the state dismissed the motion, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, 379th DC

Allegations

The client was charged with misdemeanor family violence assault. We moved quickly to secure discovery, reviewing the police report and any available recordings, and reconstructed the timeline with our client. Our team prepared to challenge the sufficiency of the proof and the reliability of the accusation before a jury. We pressed these evidentiary weaknesses with the assigned prosecutor and made clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a frightening driving incident, the client called the number on a commercial vehicle and left an angry voicemail criticizing the driver. Deputies later reached out about the message and came to the residence to seek a statement, which the client declined. Days after that contact, the client was arrested for felony terroristic threat tied to the voicemail and comments to officers. We obtained the recording, call logs, and reports, and showed the communication arose from a heated complaint, not a credible threat. We pressed the state on the lack of specific, imminent harm and intent. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after an argument between dating partners that followed a night of drinking. The client was arrested for assault based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. Our investigation showed the dispute was verbal only and that the complainant did not wish to pursue charges. We documented the lack of any bodily injury and compiled the complainant’s position for the prosecutor’s review. After pressing the state on its proof problems and trial risk, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

Following a traffic stop triggered by a third-party call about a minor sideswipe, the client was arrested. They reported memory gaps from a night out, consented to a blood draw, and did not recall field sobriety testing. We obtained the police reports, reviewed available video, and examined the lab paperwork. We pressed the state on the limited officer observations and their reliance on a witness report to establish impairment. With those weaknesses highlighted, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers searched a vehicle and reported finding an empty baggie with suspected cocaine residue. We obtained the police reports and evidence documentation, then focused on the legality of the search and the state’s ability to prove knowing possession from residue alone. We pressed the weaknesses in proof, chain of custody, and who actually possessed the item. After sustained negotiations and readiness to litigate the search issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the client admitted to drinking, performed field sobriety tests, and provided a breath sample before being arrested for a first offense DWI. We obtained the police report and testing records and closely examined the justification for the stop, how the sobriety tests were conducted, and the handling of the breath evidence. We used those issues to push for a resolution without a conviction. The prosecution agreed to deferred probation, keeping a final conviction off the client's record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

The client was stopped after turning the wrong way on a one-way street and admitted to having drinks earlier. During field sobriety testing, the officer added a memory-and-recall task that was nonstandard. At the station, the client attempted a breath test but was labeled uncooperative. We attacked the reliability of the field tests and the unclear breath-test procedure, highlighting confusion and poor instructions. After sustained negotiations, the charge was reduced to a lesser offense with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Officers initiated a traffic stop for alleged swerving and began a DWI investigation. The client declined field sobriety tests and did not provide a roadside breath sample. After the refusal, police obtained a blood warrant. Our team examined the reports and warrant materials, challenged the basis for the stop, and scrutinized the blood-draw process. With no roadside testing and the issues we raised, we pressed the state on proof problems. The prosecution dismissed the case.
