Criminal Defense Case Results in Collin, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Officers alleged a third DWI after a late night encounter. The client declined testing, and a warrant was used for a hospital blood draw. The case was filed as a felony based on two supposed prior DWIs. We obtained the enhancement records and showed the state could not support a second qualifying conviction. We also challenged the warrant and blood handling. Under that pressure, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Following a minor collision, the client was arrested for DWI after roadside tests were conducted without the client's required prescription glasses. The client initially declined a blood draw, and officers later obtained a warrant and collected a sample hours after driving. We gathered proof of the vision restriction and documented that the field tests occurred without corrective lenses, emphasizing the delay before the blood draw. At the ALR hearing we locked in the officer's account under oath and used these issues in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County \u200bCourt \u200bat Law 1

Allegations

The case began after a wrong-way crash during icy conditions. Officers performed field sobriety tests on a slick roadway, then took the client to a hospital for a blood draw. We gathered the body-cam video and medical records, highlighting how the tests were conducted on ice and how a prior leg injury and treatment affected performance. The blood result later came back under .15 and our client started classes and counseling immediately. Using those issues and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The case arose from a crash during icy conditions, where the client’s vehicle struck another and officers later issued a citation for collision involving damage over $200. We obtained the police materials and insurance documentation confirming the property damage was fully covered and no restitution remained. We compiled that proof with mitigation and context about the road conditions and submitted it to the prosecutor. After targeted negotiations, the state agreed the criminal charge was unnecessary and dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Police found the client stopped at a traffic light and conducted roadside tests before making an arrest. A later blood draw reported a BAC well over .15, and officers also noted open containers in the vehicle. We obtained and reviewed the dash and body camera footage along with the blood records to evaluate the case. In parallel, we guided the client through proactive alcohol education and an evaluation to demonstrate accountability. Presenting that mitigation, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

After a minor parking‑lot collision outside a restaurant, police questioned our client, noted clues on roadside tests, and made an arrest. The client consented to a hospital blood draw. We obtained the videos and lab records, which showed a BAC below the legal limit and a negative drug screen. We emphasized the clean history, cooperation, completion of DWI classes, and months of interlock compliance while challenging the state’s reliance on the accident and on‑scene statements. The case concluded with deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Police contacted our client during a late night stop for suspected activity and asked about a firearm after noticing a holster. After arresting the driver on a minor traffic matter, officers conducted an inventory search and reported finding paraphernalia, then filed an unlawful carrying charge based on alleged concurrent criminal activity. We dug into the arrest report and evidence, dissected the basis for the stop, the inventory search, and the thin link to any underlying offense. We laid out those evidentiary problems to the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

Police approached a parked vehicle and found the driver asleep. The client admitted to having drinks, declined field sobriety testing, and a blood draw was obtained later under a warrant. We obtained and reviewed the videos, highlighting fatigue and the parked status rather than erratic driving, and scrutinized the blood warrant and lab records. The state initially pursued an enhanced DWI based on the reported blood result. After sustained negotiations using these issues and mitigation, we secured a reduction to a Class B DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving a retail store with unpaid merchandise valued under two hundred dollars. We moved quickly, obtained discovery, and scrutinized the incident narrative and the valuation of the items, preparing to challenge how the evidence established intent. We communicated those concerns to the prosecutor and kept steady pressure during negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser offense, a result that matched the limited value involved.

Charge

Theft of Property (Class A or B Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

The client was accused of taking a handful of vehicle repair items from a retail store during a period of extreme hardship and a failing car. By the time we were retained, the case had been reset repeatedly without progress. We gathered the police and store reports, then built a mitigation package with documentation of housing instability, efforts to work and study, and a clean record. We pressed the prosecution on proportionality and the evidentiary value of the case while signaling readiness for trial. The State dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

Police found the client asleep in a parked vehicle after a night out. They refused field sobriety testing and a breath test, and a blood draw occurred only after a warrant. We obtained the video and paperwork, highlighting an officer’s handling issues during vial sealing and a statutory form that incorrectly marked the draw as consensual. We pressed these evidentiary problems with the DA and built mitigation through prompt classes and an evaluation. The prosecution backed off the felony enhancement, and we secured a reduction to a misdemeanor.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

After a bar altercation, the client was accused of assault for grabbing another patron and briefly taking her to the ground. We got involved during the investigation, routed all police contact through our office, and arranged a controlled surrender when a warrant issued. We gathered video and witness context showing ongoing harassment and that the contact was restraint, not strikes. Leveraging those facts and the client’s clean history, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense with deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.
