Criminal Defense Case Results in Brazoria, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC1

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after a long day at the beach with two passengers and was arrested for DWI. They completed field sobriety tests and consented to a blood draw. Our review of the dash and body camera footage showed the officer gave incorrect instructions, a second officer repeated portions of the testing, and the client performed well on the standard walk and balance exercises. Although the blood result later came back high, we highlighted the disconnect between the video and the lab. The case resolved with straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a medical call, our client was transported in an ambulance and later accused of indecent assault for allegedly touching a responder. We secured the EMS run data, hospital records showing rib fractures and significant pain, and statements describing the client strapped to a gurney during a bumpy ride. We highlighted discrepancies in the reports and, most importantly, the state’s inability to prove any sexual intent. We presented this package early and pressed the prosecutor on the evidentiary gaps. The DA dismissed the case.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

After a roadside stop, the client was cited for driving while their license was allegedly suspended because of old tickets. By the time we got involved, they had paid the reinstatement fee and were working through those fines. We obtained the driving record and proof of compliance, then challenged whether any suspension was still in effect at the time of the stop. We presented those issues to the prosecutor and kept the pressure on. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Brazoria County, Pearland Municipal Court of Record

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after a third-party 911 call. The client reported he extended an arm to keep distance during an argument, and the complainant fell. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam footage, and reports, and secured a statement from an on-scene witness. Our review showed a delay between the incident and the report, minimal corroborating injury evidence, and facts that undercut any intent to cause contact. We presented these issues to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

Our client was accused of indecent exposure after a bystander reported activity in a parked car and provided a cell phone video with a license plate number. We obtained the footage and discovery, which showed only a vehicle with heavily tinted windows, recorded at a distance as it pulled away. The clip did not clearly depict any exposure or reliably identify the person inside. We emphasized these evidentiary gaps and the State’s high burden, and signaled readiness to challenge admissibility. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

The client was accused after a passerby reported seeing activity in a vehicle and later provided a brief cell phone video along with the plate number. We secured the discovery and scrutinized the footage, which was captured through dark window tint and did not clearly show the alleged conduct or who was in the car. We highlighted these identification and proof problems and made clear we were prepared to fight them in court. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A nighttime traffic stop led to a DWI arrest after an officer alleged lane drifting and improper vehicle lighting. Only partial field tests were attempted, then the client was taken for a consensual blood draw. We pulled the dash and body cameras, researched the transportation code, and argued the lighting issue did not establish a valid stop. The video failed to show clear lane violations, and we challenged the reliability of the blood testing and advisals. Facing suppression risks and a weakened case, the prosecution dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle rollover. The client was shaken but uninjured and declined medical transport. Officers suspected intoxication, yet the client refused a breath test, no blood was drawn, and no field sobriety tests were conducted. We moved quickly to engage the prosecutor’s intake team, underscoring the evidentiary gaps and challenging probable cause and the State’s ability to prove impairment. After our outreach and review, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Delivery or Offer of Delivery of a Dangerous Drug

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged weaving, officers searched the car after asking for consent. They reported finding a mix of prescription and over-the-counter pills, including a bottle bearing another person’s name from the client’s workplace. We scrutinized the stop, the consent, and inconsistent evidence handling, plus the months-long wait for lab results. We provided proof of the client’s valid prescriptions and emphasized there was no actual offer or transfer. The State dismissed this count.

Charge

Delivery or Offer of Delivery of a Dangerous Drug

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged weaving, the officer gave a sobriety check and then searched the car after consent. He went straight to a bag and said it held a pill bottle in another person's name, plus other meds, many lawful or prescribed. Cash and the vehicle were seized, and the car was briefly released to a family member before being taken again, raising chain-of-custody issues. We compiled pharmacy records, challenged the basis for the stop and the scope of the bag search, and pressed the state on evidentiary gaps and slow lab testing. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Delivery or Offer of Delivery of a Dangerous Drug

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged weaving, the officer searched our client's vehicle and purse and claimed to find assorted pills, including a bottle in another person’s name. He then transferred pills to a third party and later seized the car, creating serious chain-of-custody issues. We compiled prescription records showing lawful possession of several items and challenged the basis for any alleged delivery. We pressed these evidentiary problems with the DA. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Delivery or Offer of Delivery of a Dangerous Drug

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop, an officer claimed the client was weaving and asked to search. After the client consented, the officer said a pill bottle labeled to someone else and other medications were found, then released some of those items to a third party and later seized the vehicle. We dug into the basis for the stop and the search, pushed for bodycam and lab documentation, and attacked the broken chain of custody and the mix of legitimate prescriptions and noncontrolled items. With those weaknesses laid out and early pressure applied, the prosecution dismissed the case.
