Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a late-night drive, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and took a station breath sample that registered over .15. We immediately demanded discovery and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, the police report, and the breath-test records, scrutinizing the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered. We developed mitigation by guiding the client to complete DWI coursework, collect character letters, and start community service. Leveraging both pressure points, we negotiated deferred probation in county court. The client avoided a straight conviction while completing terms.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, DC175

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a theft case when a motion to revoke was filed alleging missed community service and unpaid fees. He had been trying to transfer supervision after relocating, and a warrant issued. We negotiated a reasonable bond, coordinated his safe surrender, and secured his quick release. Then we built mitigation, including employment verification, proof of residence, a workable payment plan, and a concrete schedule to finish service hours. At the hearing we challenged the state's jail recommendation and secured straight probation instead of revocation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a roadside encounter where officers deployed a Taser, the client was taken to a hospital rather than booked at the scene. A DWI case was later filed. We attacked the state's impairment evidence, emphasizing how the use of force and subsequent medical treatment undermined the reliability of any observations. We made clear we were prepared to litigate those issues. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received straight probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance Under 1 Gram (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

Our client was stopped while riding an electric scooter after officers claimed a minor ordinance violation. They searched him several times and then reported finding a small bag of suspected narcotics in a pocket, which he denied was his. We pulled the body camera and reports, dissected the justification for the stop, and challenged the leap from a minor stop to an invasive search. We prepared a suppression motion and presented the inconsistencies to the prosecutor. Confronted with those problems, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

Officers claimed the client ran during an attempted detention after a street encounter, leading to an evading charge. We gathered the reports and available video, then scrutinized the basis for the stop, the clarity of commands, and the brief on foot pursuit. We challenged whether the facts truly showed an intent to evade and emphasized the lack of aggravating factors. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the case and award credit for time already served, resolving the matter without additional jail time.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic incident where someone squirted water and a fight followed. The client was labeled the aggressor and arrested. We got involved early, obtained the police reports, and spoke with witnesses to document the size disparity, that the other person delivered most of the blows, and that our client was calling for help. We challenged the primary aggressor determination and the lack of corroboration, noting the complainant did not wish to pursue. The state agreed the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

After a street stop involving an electric scooter, officers searched the individual and said they found a small amount of a controlled substance in a pocket. The client denied ownership. We secured the body camera footage and police reports, then scrutinized the reason for the stop, the basis for the search, and how the evidence was handled. We presented these issues along with mitigation showing a plan for stability. The state agreed to deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged lane change without signaling, the client performed field sobriety tests in a parking lot and later provided two breath samples around 0.11. We secured the video and breath-test records, highlighting that the eye test was repeated several times and the report described the movement as almost unsafe. We pressed the state on reasonable suspicion, NHTSA compliance, and breath-machine procedures. Using the client’s cooperation and clean history, we leveraged these issues to secure a reduction to a lesser, non DWI offense.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Priors)

Location

Bexar County, 144th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a home, officers relied largely on the complainant’s account that our client pinned them against a counter and injured a wrist. The client reported he only removed their hands from him and then drove them for treatment. When we took over, we obtained discovery and reviewed the reports, bodycam, and medical records. We flagged a delayed outcry, contradictions between the initial report and follow up, and a potential motive tied to housing bills, plus evidence of medical aid. Faced with these issues, the state reduced the case, and we resolved it with deferred probation, keeping a felony off the record.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 12

Allegations

A traffic stop for a lane change without signaling led officers to question our client. The client immediately told the officer there was an unloaded pistol secured in the center console. After an intoxication investigation, police added an unlawful carrying allegation. Our team obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the timing and manner of the firearm's discovery, and whether the facts satisfied each element of UCW. We emphasized the voluntary disclosure and evidentiary gaps. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

After a crash with a commercial truck following a holiday gathering, the client was investigated for DWI. Officers had the driver move the vehicle to a nearby lot, conducted limited field tests, then obtained a breath sample over .15. We pulled every video and maintenance record, and highlighted the contradiction between allowing driving and claiming extreme impairment. With no prior history and proactive class completion, we pressed the state. The prosecutor agreed to drop the .15 enhancement and reduce the case to a lower DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Following a domestic argument at a residence, officers entered and arrested our client after the complainant alleged strangulation and showed markings. The client consistently denied any contact with the neck. We obtained discovery and dispatch records, scrutinized the timeline, and pointed out that the complainant had already left before police came inside, raising questions about the basis for entry and the reliability of the account. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and after the complainant later declined to cooperate, the felony was dismissed.
