Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a misdemeanor DWI when a motion to revoke was filed alleging travel outside the county, missed portable breath tests, and a diluted or positive alcohol screen. A warrant issued. We stepped in, coordinated with probation and the prosecutor, and arranged a controlled court appearance to avoid a jail booking. We negotiated a short probation extension with strict testing and documented compliance. After the client completed those terms, the state withdrew the allegations and the motion was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Police responded to a heated custody exchange where both adults reached for the children, and no one was arrested or cited at the scene. A Class C family violence citation was later filed anyway. We documented our client's account, mapped the timeline, and showed the prosecutor that the evidence reflected mutual contact during a disputed handoff. Emphasizing the officers' on scene decision not to charge and the inconsistencies in the later complaint, we pressed for dismissal. The state ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

An old misdemeanor probation issue resurfaced when a pre-employment background check showed an active warrant. It traced to a motion to revoke probation on a long-closed DWI, alleging unpaid fees, a reporting lapse, and problems with an alcohol monitor. We acted quickly, obtained the probation file, and engaged the prosecutor. We showed the age of the case, the client's clean history since, and the difficulty of proving a violation so many years later. The state withdrew the motion, the warrant was recalled, and the MTRP was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

The client was stopped for driving without headlights. The officer reported an odor of alcohol, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and made an arrest. At the station, the breath test took multiple attempts because the machine kept malfunctioning. We obtained the dash and body camera footage, scrutinized how the field tests were instructed, and emphasized the breath-test irregularities along with the client’s clean history and cooperation. Facing these issues, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, police alleged our client interfered with a 911 call. He consistently stated he never touched the phone and, in fact, placed his own call for help. We pressed for the 911 recordings, body camera video, and reports, and highlighted that the complainant’s account shifted over time and later lacked cooperation. We also documented the client’s proactive step into counseling. Faced with credibility issues and no proof of interference, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client after the complainant alleged she was pregnant and claimed he assaulted her. He reported that she initiated physical contact and he only pushed her away to leave. We obtained the 911 audio and body‑cam footage and compared them with the report, documenting key inconsistencies and the lack of any medical proof of pregnancy. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non‑prosecution. Our client also began counseling and completed an anger management course. Presented with these issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for fluctuating speed, the client was investigated for DWI and declined a roadside breath test. Officers proceeded with a blood draw, and the timing of the statutory warnings and consent became a key issue we focused on. The field sobriety tests occurred while the client was anxious, needed a restroom, and did not have corrective lenses, all of which can affect performance. We obtained the video and reports, highlighted instruction and procedural problems, and noted a blood result only slightly over the limit. Leveraging these weaknesses, we negotiated deferred probation to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 144th DC

Allegations

Years after starting probation on a misdemeanor, our client left the state to care for a seriously ill family member and missed required appointments and a court setting. A motion to revoke was filed and the case sat on a warrant. We tracked down the old probation and court records, verified the timeline, and gathered documentation of the medical hardship. We presented that mitigation to the prosecutor and probation, pushed for a noncustodial resolution, and negotiated deferred probation with updated terms, avoiding jail and limiting future travel.

Charge

Theft of Property ($20,000 to $100,000) - Third-Degree Felony

Location

Bexar County, 226th DC

Allegations

Police stopped a rental car and identified our client as the passenger. No cash or stolen property was found, but months later investigators linked that same vehicle to an earlier theft and filed a felony case. We obtained the reports and video and focused on the legality of the stop and the prolonged detention, including being removed from the car and restrained without cause. We prepared a suppression challenge and laid out the weak connection between the client and the offense. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 150th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, the client was pulled into a protective order case that initially barred all contact with the children. We obtained CPS materials, reviewed the reports, and pressed the prosecution to narrow overbroad restrictions. Through negotiation, we secured an order with no family-violence finding and restored visitation on a supervised basis, with communication limited to a co-parenting app. To avoid a risky contested hearing that could extend the order, the client accepted a straight probation term with strict compliance conditions.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL9

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client was arrested for a first DWI when a roadside breath test indicated a result at or above the legal limit. Our team stepped in quickly, took over from prior counsel, and obtained the police reports and testing records. We pressed the state on proof issues and emphasized key mitigating factors to secure an outcome that avoided jail exposure and minimized collateral consequences. The prosecutor agreed, and the charge was reduced.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, our client was investigated for DWI. They performed field sobriety tests and later had a blood draw after declining a breath test. There was no crash and no passengers, and the client made no admissions. We pressed for full discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the roadside exercises, and the blood-draw paperwork and procedures, and signaled readiness to litigate. The State dismissed the case.
