Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, DC

Allegations

The client was accused of entering a building without consent to commit theft. We moved quickly to reconstruct the timeline for the alleged offense and identified a strong alibi. At the time the break in was reported, the client was at a hospital supporting a family member in labor. We presented that alibi to the prosecutor and challenged the State’s ability to place the client at the scene. Faced with a timeline that undercut the accusation, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of stalking after repeated contact with a former partner, including appearing at a residence and sending messages. Once retained, we obtained the police reports and the civil protective order file, secured the complainant’s written statement, and documented later communications indicating she did not wish to proceed. We packaged the nonprosecution affidavit and the civil order’s nonsuit with our analysis and pressed the assigned prosecutor for a full review. In light of those materials and our pressure, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute after a 911 call, and our client was arrested based on an allegation that he tried to take a phone and briefly restrained a leg. There were no injuries reported and no allegation of choking. We moved quickly to secure the 911 audio, bodycam footage, and reports, and we obtained a modification of the protective order to allow limited contact. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution. We presented that, along with the absence of bodily injury and thin evidence of offensive contact, to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

After a night out, an argument left our client with the car. When a relative who planned to pick her up was stopped, officers called and asked the client to come to the scene. She arrived, admitted drinking, performed roadside tests, and later blew over .15. We obtained the videos, challenged whether any actual driving was observed, and dissected the field tests for instruction and scoring errors. We also scrutinized the breath test procedure and instrument logs. Leveraging these weaknesses, we negotiated a reduction to a lower-level offense.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

The individual was on deferred probation for a prior felony when a verbal dispute at home led a probation officer to question compliance. There were no new charges, but the client was arrested at a probation appointment on an alleged violation. We met with the client in custody, obtained the revocation packet, and documented months of clean reporting, negative tests, employment, and that no one reported physical harm. We negotiated targeted modifications, including a no-contact condition and counseling. The State dismissed the motion to revoke and the client was released, with probation continuing.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after an argument that followed drinking. Officers noted a mark on the spouse's neck and arrested our client for family violence. We focused on the disputed injury, highlighting information that the mark predated the incident from an unrelated accident. The spouse later told authorities they did not want to pursue the case, and we successfully moved to modify the no-contact bond condition to non-harmful contact so the family could function. We presented the credibility issues and pressed the prosecutor. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for a felony violation of a protective order after an argument at a residence, even though the order allowed contact with a no harm condition. We stepped in before indictment, obtained the 911 audio, body cam, and reports, and documented the actual terms of the order. The complainant signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We also moved to relax bond so the client could return to work. Confronted with our submission and the complainant’s lack of cooperation, the state dismissed the case in pre-indictment court.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a minor crash and faced a charge for accident involving damage over $200. From the start they insisted nothing happened and pointed to preexisting bumper damage. We obtained the police video and reports, which showed the complainant could not initially identify a driver and later offered a different description after prompting. We also presented insurance correspondence denying the claim and photos showing the damage did not match. Confronted with weak identification and no corroboration, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence escalated and a nosebleed was reported. He called 911 himself and accepted responsibility for a reckless act during the argument. We engaged early, opened dialogue with the prosecutor, and compiled mitigation like character references and a clean history to show this was out of character. We also worked to clarify the complaining witness’s wishes. When she declined to participate and was unavailable to testify, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After a verbal argument during a drive, the complainant alleged our client grabbed the steering wheel. No injuries were reported. The client left the vehicle and was arrested a short time later based largely on that initial statement. We moved quickly, obtained and presented an affidavit of non-prosecution from the complainant, and emphasized the lack of bodily injury evidence and the disputed nature of the account. After our outreach and pressure on the case, the prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after a fitting-room incident. She had placed clothing left in a stall into her bag, panicked, and tried to leave the items in a restroom before staff blocked her, took her to a back office, seized her phone, and pressured her to sign paperwork. They also claimed she took jewelry, which she denied. We pressed the state for discovery and challenged whether she ever passed the final point of sale, the inflated valuation, and the jewelry allegation. With a theft class certificate and strong character letters in hand, we secured pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was arrested for a first-offense DWI after roadside sobriety tests. At the station they gave a breath sample under .15, there was no crash, and they remained respectful and cooperative. Our team obtained the video and police report and scrutinized how the tests were administered and documented. We strengthened the defense with mitigation, gathering character letters and documentation of counseling and alcohol-education steps. Leveraging the lower breath result and our mitigation package, we pressed for a non-DWI outcome. The charge was reduced and the client received deferred probation.
