Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Theft of Service (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, CC1

Allegations

Our client faced a felony theft of service charge tied to a security services dispute from years earlier. The matter had remained at warrant status after a missed court requirement, and the client was later detained on the old warrant. We dug into the file, pulled records from the court and clerk, and reconstructed the case history. The paperwork showed gaps and the evidentiary trail had gone cold. We also documented mitigating reasons for the missed appearance and pressed these issues with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

A domestic argument after a late night gathering escalated when our client threw an empty can and pushed her spouse, then called 911 after being struck. Officers arrived and, despite noting no injuries on the complainant, arrested our client as the aggressor. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera footage, and statements, which showed limited corroboration, inconsistencies from a peripheral witness, and that the complainant did not wish to pursue the case. We pressed these weaknesses with the DA and prepared for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

After a minor bump at a light in a parking area, police stopped our client and reported an odor of alcohol. The officer conducted field sobriety tests at the scene, but no roadside breath test was given. At the station, a breath sample registered 0.11. With no prior record and ongoing eye issues while taking multiple antihistamines, we explained how those factors could affect balance and eye tracking. We scrutinized the SFST instructions and the reliability of the observations, then pressed these issues in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was stopped after an alleged stop sign violation and arrested for DWI. They performed roadside tests, refused breath and blood, and officers later obtained a blood draw by warrant. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the report, then broke down the field tests step by step, flagging errors in how the HGN was administered and contradictions with the written narrative. We delivered that analysis to the prosecution and kept the pressure on. Faced with compromised key evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC12

Allegations

After leaving a gathering, the client drove a short distance home, fell asleep at the wheel, and had a minor collision with no injuries. Officers conducted field sobriety tests at the scene and later obtained a breath sample at the jail. We scrutinized the field tests and breath-test handling and litigated a contested issue about a subpoenaed witness. We also compiled mitigation, including proof of interlock compliance and costs, insurance payments, completed classes, and strong school records. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a non-DWI offense with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a crash at an intersection, the client called for help and was investigated for DWI. Officers said they observed intoxication, located beer in the vehicle, and conducted only limited field sobriety testing even though the airbags had deployed. A breath test was taken. We pulled the video and crash records and documented the client’s injuries and post-collision disorientation, which undercut reasonable suspicion for the tests and the arrest. Confronted with those problems, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to a lower-level DWI.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence. The client left during the argument, returned to find the door locked, and forced entry, after which police arrested him based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We obtained the 911 audio and body-camera video, noted the absence of documented injuries and multiple inconsistencies, and pushed to ease restrictive bond conditions. As trial neared, the court limited live testimony and the state leaned on the 911 call. We leveraged those evidentiary issues to negotiate deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

Stopped for failing to signal, our client admitted to a few drinks and was arrested after HGN and walk-and-turn tests. The officer did not conduct the one-leg stand. The client consented to a breath test that read over the limit, but the client has diabetes. We pulled the breath-testing records and police reports, gathered medical documentation, and challenged the reliability of both the field tests and the breath result given that condition and the limited FSTs. After we presented these issues to the prosecution, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL9

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after leaving a social outing and admitted to having drinks. Officers conducted field sobriety tests, arrested the client, read warnings, and obtained consent for a blood draw. Our team reviewed the reports and evidence, and documented the client's longstanding balance issues and prescribed medication that can affect performance on roadside tests. We emphasized the lack of prior record and the limited driving behavior that led to the stop. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated with the prosecutor to reduce the charge.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CCL11

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication when a new citation for driving with license invalid, in a vehicle without an interlock, prompted a violation report. They promptly told probation. We got involved early, coordinated with the probation office, and compiled mitigation, including proof of employment, recent payments, interlock compliance, and the emergency reason for the brief drive. We also moved to address the underlying ticket. At the review setting we pushed for a nonrevocation outcome. The court kept the client on deferred probation, avoiding jail.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC6

Allegations

Police followed the client for several minutes, then initiated a stop only as the client pulled into a residence. The report alleged erratic driving, yet the pursuing officer acknowledged no violations after getting behind the vehicle. A second officer claimed an earlier infraction, but the recordings and paperwork did not support it. Our client declined roadside tests, and a high breath result was later reported, but the breath test itself was not recorded. We dissected the videos, built a timeline, and moved to suppress, and the prosecution dismissed the case.
