Criminal Defense Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers on bikes approached at a light, claimed to smell marijuana, detained our client, and searched, finding a pistol in the glove box. The marijuana charge was never pursued. We obtained the bodycam and reports, and scrutinized whether an officer could credibly pinpoint an odor from a closed vehicle in a busy area, and whether any Class B offense existed to support the weapon count. We prepared suppression arguments and emphasized the lack of a valid predicate offense. After firm negotiations and signaling we were ready to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was accused of violating terms after a pistol and a small amount of drugs were found at a residence during a move. We acted fast, seeking a bond and collecting affidavits. The family supplied firearm purchase records showing it was theirs, and property management confirmed the client no longer lived there. We documented the prior address change with supervision and attacked the proof of possession. Using that record, we negotiated a result that kept the client on probation rather than being revoked to prison.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a brief relationship ended, the client was accused of stalking based on claims of repeated contact and visits to a residence. We dug into the communications and obtained phone logs and messages showing the contact was mutual, including a long call where the complainant discussed meeting in the future. We built a detailed timeline and highlighted inconsistencies between the accusation and the communications. After presenting that to the prosecution and pressing the weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding shortly after leaving home, where they had consumed a single beer. They completed field sobriety tests, performing well on the walk and turn, but the eye test was flagged despite a documented history of epilepsy and natural nystagmus. A breath test was administered well after the stop, following nausea in the patrol car from flashing lights, and registered over the limit. We obtained video and maintenance records, documented the testing delay, medical factors, and officer uncertainty, and presented these defects to the prosecution. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging unauthorized travel for work and an ankle monitor issue after police removed the device during a prior arrest. He was detained at an airport when a dispute led to a warrant check. We pulled the allegations, documented the employment opportunity, and explained the monitoring device dispute, showing the issues arose from supervision, not a new offense. We proposed treatment and pushed for a nonrevocation outcome. The state agreed to drop the action and the court dismissed the motion, securing his release.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

The client was charged with violating a protective order. Our review of filings and service logs showed the alleged violation predates any arrest and that the client had never been served with the order. Call records also reflected ongoing contact initiated by the complainant, undercutting any claim that he knowingly violated an order. We organized a detailed timeline and put those service and credibility issues in front of the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 408th Civil District Court

Allegations

A civil application for a protective order was filed against our client after a relationship ended. He had never been served and the applicant continued to take his calls. We secured the file, managed settings by Zoom when needed, and built an evidence packet of call logs, messages, and photos documenting ongoing, consensual contact and credibility problems. We laid this out to the attorney handling the matter and made clear we were ready to litigate. The application was dropped and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (Prior Family Violence Conviction)

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

During a visit to a residence, officers saw a handgun and arrested our client for unlawful possession tied to a prior family-violence conviction. We moved quickly to show the gun was not the client’s, submitting a notarized ownership affidavit and purchase records, along with a statement from the property manager that the client did not live there and had reported a different address to supervision. We leveraged these facts with the prosecutor and secured a probation outcome.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Officers tied our client to suspected narcotics found inside an apartment during a move. We established the client had already reported a new residence and was not living at that location. The room where the item was discovered was used by multiple people. We compiled a notarized statement from a third party accepting responsibility, a letter from the property manager confirming non-residency, and documentation of the address change. After we challenged the ability to prove knowing possession, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police responded to a dispute at a residence. The complainant pointed to a series of calls and texts, and our client was booked for harassment. We obtained the bodycam and reports, highlighting gaps in how the phone records were preserved and adding context from prior communications. When the matter was later refiled with a warrant, we engaged the prosecutor and negotiated narrow no-contact terms with no family-violence finding and communication only through proper channels. After execution, the state dismissed the case and the warrant was cleared.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

During a domestic dispute in a vehicle, officers alleged our client blocked an emergency call and arrested her. We moved quickly to obtain phone logs showing repeated outgoing attempts to reach help and family, along with messages and a short video from the scene. Witness accounts and the timeline indicated the other party had taken the phone and was the one ending calls. We highlighted these credibility problems in negotiations and prepared to litigate. With the complainant no longer cooperating and the evidence undermined, the state dismissed the case.
