Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

When a felony motion to revoke was filed against our client on deferred adjudication, it rested on a single new allegation from an older, poorly defined incident. We moved quickly to secure a bond so the client could fight from the outside. We gathered probation records showing steady compliance and payments, and demanded the state's proof on the alleged violation. The evidence was thin and dated, and key details were unclear. After meeting with the prosecutor and challenging the basis for revocation, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The client was arrested after an allegation that a protective order was violated through improper contact. The client maintained that all communication occurred on a parenting app and reported that the other party repeatedly came to places connected to the children. We compiled the app messages, police incident records, and the relevant court orders to highlight conflicting terms and the absence of threats or impermissible in‑person contact. We pressed the State on evidentiary gaps, documented the burden of GPS monitoring, and pushed for an alternative resolution. The prosecution agreed to pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction and resolving the case through program conditions.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

Our client was stopped late at night for alleged speeding and running a red light after leaving a bar. The officers noted glassy eyes but both said they did not smell alcohol. The client attempted part of the field tests, explained a balance condition, then declined further testing and refused a breath test. A blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We demanded dashcam and bodycam footage and prepared suppression arguments based on the prolonged detention and lack of odor. When the state could not produce the key video and faced our challenges, it dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court at Law 14

Allegations

The client was stopped while driving back to a hotel after a work function and was unsure why the stop occurred. The officer reported signs of intoxication and conducted two field tests after denying a restroom request that led to an accident. The client refused a breath test, and a blood sample was taken later at the jail. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the basis for the stop, the test instructions, and the timing and procedures surrounding the blood draw, and used testimony from the license hearing to push negotiations. The state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 12

Allegations

Stopped after a brief lane deviation while a passenger was getting sick, the client admitted to a couple of drinks and was given field sobriety tests. Dash and bodycam showed a clean walk-and-turn, a one-leg stand that was mis-scored, and the officer repeating the eye test before arresting. A voluntary blood draw later came back just over the enhancement threshold. We challenged the stop and the testing, contested the license suspension, and presented mitigation through classes and character letters. After sustained negotiations, the case was resolved by deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 7

Allegations

A citation issued after a heated exchange at a youth sports event spilled into the parking lot. The complainant alleged our client pushed first, but our client reported being shoved and used brief contact only to create space, and a bystander recorded part of it. We engaged early, collected our client's account and witness details, and demanded any video and reports. With conflicting statements and no clear proof of offensive contact beyond a momentary shove, we highlighted self defense and credibility problems. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after arranging a tow to retrieve a vehicle from a residence covered by the order. He planned to meet officers first and believed the protected party was not present, but the tow operator proceeded, the resident called police, and he was arrested. We reconstructed the timeline, documented his efforts to coordinate through third parties and remain off the property, and clarified the scope of the order. Faced with the lack of intentional contact, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

Police found our client stopped in a drive-thru with the car in park and began a DWI investigation. After the officer moved the car to a nearby lot, the client performed field sobriety tests and later gave a breath sample at the station. We obtained dash and body camera footage, station surveillance, and breath-testing maintenance records. We challenged the instructions, testing conditions, and machine documentation, and presented those concerns to the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

Our client was stopped after an officer said the vehicle swerved and nearly struck another car shortly after leaving a store. The driver admitted to drinking, declined roadside tests, and later provided a breath sample around 0.185. With a prior DWI many years earlier, the stakes were high. We pulled the dash and body camera footage and dug into the basis for the stop, the breath machine's maintenance and calibration, and whether required observation procedures were followed. We pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The case was reduced to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was stopped on a highway and arrested for DWI after an officer claimed a stop-sign violation. He told the officer he had a severe needle phobia, which was treated as a refusal, and a blood draw was later taken under a warrant well after the stop. We obtained the police reports and video, mapped the timeline from stop to draw, and challenged both the basis for the stop and whether the test proved intoxication at the time of driving. We built a suppression strategy and pressed the prosecution on these weaknesses. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to a Class C assault-by-contact citation. The client was never arrested, only later summoned to appear. We pulled 911 audio and bodycam, which captured the complainant stating she initiated physical contact and showed no injuries. We organized those clips, preserved relevant messages, and set the case for trial to apply pressure when the witness could not be secured. After sustained negotiations and review of our materials, the prosecution determined the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL8

Allegations

Our client was arrested for DWI after a traffic crash. Officers performed field sobriety tests, transported the client for processing, and later recorded a breath result over .15. We obtained the videos and noted that officers repeated the eye test at the station, raising questions about the reliability of their initial observations. Discovery also showed the state lacked the necessary breath-test supervisor to support the instrument's results. We set the case for trial, pressed those weaknesses, and negotiated a reduction to standard DWI with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion.
