Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

The client was stopped late at night for an allegedly wide turn and arrested for a second DWI after roadside tests and a breath sample reportedly over the limit. We moved fast to request the ALR hearing to protect driving privileges and obtained the video evidence, breath-test records, and all reports. Our defense zeroed in on the basis for the stop, the manner the field tests were given, and whether breath-test procedures were followed. After we pressed those issues and prepared to litigate suppression, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a late-night single-vehicle incident, the client hit a curb, disabled the car, and called for a tow. When officers arrived, the client was outside the vehicle with the keys in a pocket. Field sobriety tests were administered and a later station breath test reportedly read over the limit, leading to arrest. We obtained the report, body-cam, and breath-test records, emphasizing that no officer observed driving and contact began after the breakdown. Leveraging those gaps, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Stopped in a residential area after patrol flagged the vehicle as suspicious, the client was arrested for a second DWI. They declined field sobriety testing and refused a breath test, and officers never obtained a blood sample. We pulled dashcam and bodycam video and challenged the basis for the stop and the probable cause for arrest. The materials showed no clear traffic violation and left the state with no chemical evidence. We leveraged those weaknesses to secure a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Officers stopped our client in a residential area, then added a felony possession count after claiming they found a small bag with suspected cocaine residue. The client did not know where the bag was supposedly located and denied ownership. We demanded dashcam and bodycam and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the search. We pressed the state on knowing possession and the thin, residue-only proof. Facing suppression and evidentiary challenges, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187 DC

Allegations

The case arose after a property incident that drew police attention. During a search of the client’s vehicle, officers reported finding a small baggie that later tested positive for methamphetamine. The client consistently denied knowing it was there, the vehicle paperwork was not fully in their name, and another person had access to the car. We obtained bodycam and reports, challenged the basis for the search, and pressed the state on proof of knowing possession and chain-of-custody issues. We leveraged these points to secure deferred adjudication.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

The case stemmed from work at a closed property where a third party produced a key and said they had permission to be there. After a confrontation with the owner, police alleged damage to fixtures and wiring and charged our client with criminal mischief. We pulled the surveillance images and officer video and highlighted that none showed our client causing the damage. We also emphasized the good‑faith belief of permission based on the key access and our client’s cooperation. Facing those proof gaps, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

After a domestic argument over a phone, our client was arrested when officers documented a minor bruise on the complainant. He had a visible scratch that was noted at intake. Initial statements were taken through a child family member translating before an interpreter arrived. We obtained the police reports, documented that both parties grabbed for the phone, and highlighted translation and credibility problems. We also prepared a non-prosecution affidavit and relayed the complainant's wishes. Facing these weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court.

Allegations

Our client was accused of burglarizing a closed building after going there with an acquaintance who said they had permission and produced a key to the gate. Surveillance showed others cutting a lock, but our client was not pictured entering or removing anything and was in a vehicle when the confrontation began. We reviewed bodycam and reports confirming the client flagged down police and repeatedly said they believed they were authorized to be there. We pressed the lack of evidence of entry or intent and raised credibility concerns about the supposed organizer. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault - Family Violence (Serious Bodily Injury)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute after our client had already called 911 and waited outside. Later, the complainant claimed a broken foot and serious injury, elevating the case to a felony. We attacked the credibility of that claim by compiling the client’s 911 account, social media posts attributing the injury to a separate skiing incident, and photos showing her moving normally soon after. We pushed for medical records and highlighted inconsistencies between statements and video clips. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Responding officers to a domestic dispute arrested our client after the other party pointed to a facial mark and blamed her. We got involved immediately and compiled the client’s messages, videos, and call logs documenting prior volatility and her efforts to seek help. A third party on the phone during the incident reported statements consistent with the mark being self inflicted, and there were no injuries consistent with striking. We organized the contradictions in the complainant’s accounts and the absence of corroboration. After we laid out these credibility problems to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 15

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute where the complaining witness claimed our client damaged household property, leading to a criminal mischief charge. We secured the police materials and documented problems in the account, including photographs taken immediately afterward showing no injuries to our client's hands consistent with breaking glass. We organized character references and a clear timeline. The complaining witness later declined to cooperate and provided a non‑prosecution statement. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument at a residence led to an allegation of assault family violence. Officers relied on an initial statement, but we obtained home surveillance showing the complainant grabbing for a holstered firearm and our client using a single open hand strike to break contact and retreat. We secured that clip, compared it to the reports, and highlighted the self defense context and minimal injury evidence. The complainant later told authorities she did not wish to pursue the case. Confronted with that record, the prosecution dismissed the charge.
