Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged speeding, our client was arrested for DWI. They declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw; an open container was also documented. We secured the videos and observed solid performance on the field tests, with communication issues due to a language barrier noted throughout. When the blood results came back at 0.05, below the legal limit, we challenged intoxication and the reliability of the investigation. Facing weak evidence, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace 3

Allegations

The client was ticketed for Class C disorderly conduct after a school incident. Staff insisted the student move while they were on the phone with a parent, a fire alarm sounded, campus police arrived, and the situation escalated. Administrators alleged profane remarks and that a chair was thrown at a wall, but no one was harmed. We obtained school and police records, pressed for any camera and body camera footage, and presented the IEP and safety-plan context along with the weeks long delay in filing. Confronted with these issues and a prepared defense, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

The client was detained out of state on a Texas warrant for felony marijuana possession. We got involved immediately, coordinated with authorities in both jurisdictions, and pushed for a bond arrangement to minimize time in custody during transfer. We obtained discovery and examined how the marijuana was found and documented. We scrutinized the basis for the search and the handling of the evidence, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. After negotiations, the case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Bexar County, DC175

Allegations

During a contentious child support dispute, our client was arrested after a scheduled child exchange and accused of sexual assault tied to a past relationship. We obtained CPS and law enforcement records, lined up the timeline with family-court filings, and identified credibility issues and a strong motive behind the complaint. We compiled inconsistencies between initial reports and later statements and put that in front of the prosecutor. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

During a traffic stop for an alleged unsafe lane change, our client was investigated for DWI. After initially declining, the officer persuaded the client to perform field sobriety tests, then made an arrest and obtained a blood draw by warrant when a breath test was refused. We secured dash and body cam video, the warrant affidavit, and lab records, and challenged the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered. Using those issues in negotiations, we pressed for a better resolution. The prosecution reduced the case, and the client received deferred probation on the lesser charge.

Charge

Possession of a Prohibited Weapon

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a late-night crash, officers encountered our client seated in a vehicle. They claimed to see shell casings and searched the car without consent, then reported finding a handgun with an aftermarket device that could convert it to automatic fire. We moved quickly preindictment, requested the reports and video, and scrutinized the basis for the warrantless search and any link between the items and our client. We emphasized evidentiary gaps and the client's clean history while making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

During a late-night ride-share trip, the driver reported that the passenger threatened serious harm and called 911. Officers detained our client nearby and documented the allegation as a terroristic threat. We obtained the police reports and the 911 recording, scrutinized the language used and whether the facts met the required element of imminence. At the same time, we moved quickly on mitigation, guiding the client through a counseling course and collecting strong character letters. Leveraging both, we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

Theft (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The case arose from a store incident where it was alleged the client used self checkout and left with groceries without paying. We immediately requested the evidence, obtained surveillance and transaction data, and reviewed the videos frame by frame. The materials showed ambiguity at the register, and we compiled receipts demonstrating a consistent pattern of paying at that location. We also noted the identification was based on later account records rather than a direct stop, and prepared to litigate. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

Officers approached a parked car outside a residence while canvassing a nearby disturbance and found our underage client in the passenger seat, visibly intoxicated after leaving a bar. The client admitted to drinking, and a companion confirmed it. Officers verified ID and issued a citation for minor in possession. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized whether the contact was a consensual encounter, and flagged a defect in where the complaint alleged consumption occurred. Using that leverage, we negotiated deferred probation with reduced penalties, an alcohol class, and service, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped after leaving a bar, our client was arrested for DWI following roadside tests. The officer had them perform nonstandard exercises and balance tests despite a known leg injury, then labeled the poor performance as a refusal. The client initially agreed to a blood draw, asked to speak with a lawyer, and that request was also treated as a refusal before a warrant was obtained. We obtained the videos and reports, showing flawed instructions and unreliable testing conditions. We challenged the refusal designation and the basis for the blood warrant. Confronted with those issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC14

Allegations

Stopped for excessive speed during a late night drive, our client was questioned about drinking, put through roadside tests, and arrested for DWI. At the station they declined a breath test and police obtained a blood warrant. We gathered the videos, reports, and lab records and built challenges targeting the basis for the stop, the administration of the field tests, and the warrant procedure. After sustained negotiations with the prosecutor, the charge was reduced to a lesser offense.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers alleged the client was unlawfully carrying a weapon. We obtained the police reports and discovery and focused on when and how the weapon was discovered, and whether the statutory elements were actually met. Our review flagged inconsistencies in the narrative and missing details needed to prove unlawful carry. We presented those deficiencies to the prosecutor and set the matter for litigation. The state dismissed the case.
