Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence. Based on a brief struggle over a phone and an allegation that the other person’s exit was blocked, the client was arrested for unlawful restraint. Our team moved quickly to address restrictive bond conditions and obtained the case materials to test the elements of the offense, noting that officers documented no significant injury and that the encounter was brief and disputed. The complaining witness later advised they did not wish to proceed. The state dismissed the case.

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash, not a traffic stop. The client performed portions of the field tests, declined breath, and a blood draw was taken by warrant. We pulled the 911 dispatch, body and dash video, the warrant affidavit, and the lab packet. The footage and paperwork showed gaps in proof of who was driving and problems with the instructions and refusal warnings. We pressed those weaknesses at the license hearing and in negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the DWI to a lesser misdemeanor, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, the client was taken to a hospital and a blood sample was drawn. Months later, a warrant based on those results led to an arrest during a routine traffic stop. We challenged the basis for the draw and warrant, scrutinized the handling of the blood evidence, and pressed the state about the delay. With no prior record, the client also completed alcohol education early. Leveraging those issues and mitigation, we negotiated away the BAC enhancement and secured a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police alleged our client threatened a former partner during a driving encounter, then later threatened another person while passing a residence. The client consistently said no words were exchanged, the windows stayed up, and he only went around after being brake checked, then drove past without stopping. We dissected the police report and probable cause affidavit and showed there was no reliable evidence of a communicated threat or imminent fear beyond disputed statements. We pressed these weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

Officers responded to a 911 report of a car near a residence and alleged the driver struck a tree before arresting her for DWI with a breath test over .15. She had pulled over to rest and was taken to a hospital, so no roadside tests occurred. We secured the bodycam, dash video, and dispatch logs, which showed no actual crash, only low branches brushing the vehicle. We also examined the breath machine records and how the specimen was obtained and warned. Leveraging those issues and proof of completed DWI classes, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Robbery (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, DC379

Allegations

The client was arrested on a robbery case that was later booked with a very high bond. We scrutinized the reports and assembled a detailed mitigation packet, including strong character letters from family and an employer, highlighting no prior record and a structured plan. The probation interview placed the client at low to moderate risk. To address concerns about influences, we proposed strict conditions such as GPS monitoring and home confinement. Using this, we secured deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested the client even though he was the one who called 911 reporting he had been struck. We obtained the 911 audio, body cam video, and the offense report. The footage and statements did not align, her account of the contact and injuries shifted, and a later protective order narrative conflicted with what was said on scene. We highlighted those contradictions and the context of a brief phone struggle that had already ended. Confronted with these credibility issues and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Our client was accused of violating a protective order after officers found them at a residence they were ordered to avoid following a prior arrest. The client had returned to collect belongings, and the other party later came back and stayed there, an argument ensued, and police were called. We obtained the order, offense report, 911 audio, and bodycam, and compared the accounts. The materials showed mutual contact at the home and a disputed living arrangement, with key inconsistencies in the complainant’s statements. We presented those proof problems to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

Police responded to a 911 call after a domestic argument and arrested our client for assault based on superficial facial scratches. The client reported only a brief push, and the other person told officers they did not want prosecution. We requested the body camera video and highlighted investigative gaps, including how officers characterized the incident and seized a wedding ring as the supposed weapon. We prepared a sworn statement route for the complainant and pressed the DA on the weak evidence. The prosecutor dismissed the case, and we moved to have the ring returned.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a heated, alcohol-fueled dispute where bystanders claimed the client made threats. We obtained the 911 audio, body-worn camera, and written statements. The recordings did not match the reports, and witnesses disagreed about what was said and whether anyone actually felt imminent danger. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state, making clear we were prepared to litigate the weaknesses. Confronted with credibility issues and thin evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Bexar County, Live Oak MC

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a headlight issue, officers noticed open containers and searched the vehicle, finding several THC vape cartridges and related hardware. The client was cited for paraphernalia while facing the possibility of something more serious. We moved fast, pulled the reports, and pressed the prosecutor to keep the matter limited to the citation. We then negotiated a short deferred adjudication with minimal conditions and no conviction. We provided a clear plan to complete the requirements and protect the client’s record.
