Criminal Defense Case Results in Brazoria, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Brazoria County, 461st DC

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested after a traffic stop in another county for an alleged occupational driver’s license violation. Our team obtained the signed license order, driving log, and insurance documents, and compiled proof of full compliance with fees, classes, and testing. We pressed the probation office and prosecutors with that record and explained the travel was for essential obligations, not new criminal conduct. The State agreed and dismissed the motion to revoke, keeping the client on probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC2

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI. He had been drinking and recalled little after the wreck, and the state claimed a breath sample. We pushed for full discovery, obtaining the video and breath records, and scrutinized the arrest from first contact to booking. We compiled mitigation showing no prior record, cooperation, and significant mental health concerns. Using that package, we negotiated the case down to a lesser misdemeanor, with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Brazoria County, CC2

Allegations

A patrol officer stopped our client for alleged phone use while driving and initiated a DWI investigation. The client declined roadside field sobriety tests, was arrested, and later provided a breath sample at the jail that read over .15. We obtained the dash and body camera footage and dissected the paperwork. The video did not clearly show the claimed distraction, there was no documented odor of alcohol, and parts of the testing occurred long after the actual driving. We challenged probable cause and the reliability of the breath result. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC1

Allegations

Officers found the client stopped at a light and arrested for DWI after roadside tests. The client explained longstanding knee and shoulder injuries, declined the breath test, and a blood sample was taken later. Our team pulled the dash and body cameras, field notes, and the blood draw records. We flagged how the sobriety tests were administered given the medical limitations and pressed issues with the handling and timing of the blood evidence. After sustained negotiations using those weaknesses and mitigation, the prosecution reduced the charges.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

The client was stopped soon after leaving a bar when officers parked nearby claimed his exhaust was too loud and pulled him over. He completed roadside sobriety tests and later consented to a blood draw. We obtained the dashcam, bodycam, and reports, pressed the state on the legal basis for the stop and the manner the tests were administered, and highlighted his clean history and the absence of an accident or unsafe driving. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to straight probation, keeping him out of jail.

Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After motion cameras flagged a suspected intruder on our client's business property at night, police were called. Officers came but declined to enter, so the client checked the area. In the confusion and low visibility, a round was fired and the suspect was hit, leading to an aggravated assault case. We moved quickly to secure 911 audio, dashcam and video, establishing the client sought help first and that officers disengaged. We leveraged those gaps in proof on intent and justification, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Brazoria County, CC4

Allegations

The client was stopped for an expired registration and arrested after the officer spotted smoking paraphernalia and a holstered handgun inside the vehicle. No separate drug charge was filed, only unlawful carrying. We obtained the dash and body camera video and challenged the basis for the stop and the manner the firearm was discovered. We then opened discussions with the prosecutor, emphasizing evidentiary weaknesses and our client's clean history. After the client completed a brief safety course and surrendered the firearm, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Brazoria County, 461st District Court

Allegations

Responders found the client outside a parked vehicle after a long work shift, and an ambulance had been called by a bystander. Officers arrived later, noted an odor of alcohol, conducted roadside tests, then transported for a blood draw while still labeling the case as a refusal. We emphasized the lack of observed driving, the time gap before police contact, and inconsistencies around the alleged refusal. After pressing these issues and negotiating terms focused on rehabilitation, the prosecution agreed to probation with conditions the client could realistically complete.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Brazoria County, CC1

Allegations

Our client was found inside a vacant residence next to where they intended to stay after a night out and was arrested for criminal trespass. We engaged early, pressed for full discovery, and documented that the home was unoccupied and the entry appeared to be a mistake. We gathered receipts showing the client immediately paid for a broken window and cleaning, along with text messages with the owner. The owner then provided a statement requesting no prosecution. With restitution, cooperation, and intent in doubt, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Brazoria County, CCL1

Allegations

On probation for a misdemeanor theft case, the client faced a warrant after a positive THC test, unpaid fees, and an unfinished required class. She had already served a short jail sanction and was worried about work and family responsibilities. We coordinated a planned surrender to limit time in custody, then engaged the prosecution, documented mitigation, and pressed for credit for time already served. The State scaled back its position and agreed to resolve the case for time served, ending supervision. Outcome: reduction with time served and prompt release.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Brazoria County, 149th DC

Allegations

Police arrested the client in a vice sting after he answered an online ad, exchanged texts and calls with an undercover, met at a hotel, and handed over money. We obtained the full discovery, including room video and message logs, and confirmed there were no viable suppression issues. When the DA’s office declined diversion for this charge, we shifted to mitigation. We compiled counseling records, character letters, and a clean history to press for leniency. The result was deferred adjudication, sparing a conviction and jail.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Brazoria County, 300th District Court

Allegations

After a 911 report of erratic driving during a road dispute, our client was stopped at night and asked to perform field sobriety tests. A warrant was obtained for blood, which later reported about 0.16. We pushed for complete discovery, forced production of missing dash and body cam footage, and scrutinized the stop, the instructions given, and how the tests were conducted in darkness. We also obtained the blood records and challenged procedure where appropriate. Leveraging these issues, we negotiated straight probation, keeping the client out of prison.
