Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Police stopped our client for speeding after leaving a gathering. The officer claimed signs of intoxication, but the client admitted only to having a few drinks and declined all field sobriety tests and a roadside breath test. A blood draw was later taken under a warrant. We obtained the reports, warrant affidavit, and lab records, and challenged the basis for the stop and the sufficiency of the warrant and sample handling. After sustained pressure and notice of our suppression arguments, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a minor fender bender, our client exchanged insurance information and waited for police. Officers questioned the client about prescription medications, requested sobriety tests, and the client declined. The client consented to a vehicle search, which turned up nothing illegal and only a cup of water. The state relied on officer observations rather than a breath result. We obtained the videos and reports, underscored the minimal damage, clean search, medication issues, and lack of standardized testing. Faced with those weaknesses, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded after a rear-end collision caused by a sudden stop ahead. The client admitted to a few beers about an hour earlier, performed roadside tests, and was arrested for DWI. Our team dug into the crash and incident reports, the timeline of drinking, and the blood draw paperwork, and pressed the State on how much those results actually proved impairment at the time of driving. We also presented mitigation, including no prior record. The prosecutor agreed to a reduced charge with credit for time served.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2, Place 1.

Allegations

During a hospital visit for a family medical emergency, a dispute with our client’s former partner’s companion escalated and officers were called. The client acknowledged physical contact and later received a Class C assault citation by mail. We stepped in, gathered the client’s photos, videos, and messages documenting prior unwanted contact by the complainant, and confirmed a clean criminal history. We presented that context and the client’s cooperation to the prosecutor, pressing for a constructive resolution. The case was resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 438th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, the petitioner sought a civil protective order claiming ongoing danger. We gathered screenshots and call logs showing the petitioner repeatedly initiating contact, plus police reports documenting the client’s efforts to avoid contact. We also provided videos and messages from prior relationships that undermined the petitioner’s credibility. At the hearing, we emphasized these inconsistencies and the absence of any current threat. The court dismissed the protective order.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

The client was on deferred misdemeanor probation and only days from finishing when a new arrest led the state to file a motion to revoke. A warrant issued and the allegation centered on alcohol use tied to the new case. We compiled proof of steady compliance, completed classes, clean reporting, and on-time payments, and secured favorable input from supervision. We pressed those facts in negotiations, challenged the sufficiency of the violation, and resolved the warrant at the setting. The motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision with a parked vehicle, and our client was arrested for a second DWI after leaving a bar. He reported a gap in memory and believed he had provided a breath sample. We secured the patrol video, reports, and testing records, and dissected the stop, the field evaluations, and the breath procedure. We also assembled mitigation, highlighting that no one was injured and addressing bond conditions and license matters promptly. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

Police investigated an earlier incident and obtained the client's consent to search a vehicle for weapons, then reported finding a felony amount of contraband. We scrutinized how the search expanded beyond the stated consent and dissected the reports and chain of custody. Our team gathered mitigation, including the client’s lack of prior record and corroborating background materials. We pressed these issues in negotiations with the prosecutor. The case resolved with a plea to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving and speeding after leaving a restaurant. They were driving a manual transmission SUV with oversized tires that pulled right under throttle and left when decelerating, something the officer acknowledged after moving the vehicle. Field sobriety tests followed, but the client's dried contact lenses made the eye test difficult, and no roadside breath test was given. A blood sample was drawn. We focused on the vehicle handling issues, the compromised eye test, and the absence of a roadside breath result. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After an argument at a residence, a neighbor called police when our client knocked repeatedly while trying to reach someone inside. Officers arrested for public intoxication, there were no field tests at the scene, and breath testing happened later at the jail. We reviewed the video and police report and challenged whether the facts showed any real danger to self or others. By engaging the prosecutor early, we pushed for a nonconviction outcome. We secured deferred probation with a modest fine and short class, which kept a conviction off the record.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment Court DC

Allegations

Stopped for failing to maintain a single lane, the client opened the console for insurance and an officer spotted a disposable vape. A roadside test allegedly showed THC, the client was arrested, and a search found two more nearly burnt pens. We moved quickly, challenging the basis for the stop, the plain view seizure, and the reliability of the field test. We also questioned whether the trace residue and circumstances actually tied the pens to our client. Confronted with these issues before indictment, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated and arrested our client for DWI. The client admitted to having drinks, refused a breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital under a warrant. We dug into the paperwork and digital evidence, noting gaps in the report and delays in the state's discovery. When the case continued to stall, we asserted the client's speedy-trial rights and set the matter for a dismissal hearing. Faced with a thin record and our motion, the prosecution dismissed the case.
