Criminal Defense Case Results in Collin, TX

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 4

Allegations

The client was stopped for driving well over the limit and arrested for reckless driving. At the roadside, they explained they were hurrying to find a restroom. We requested the patrol video and reports to document that exchange and to note there were no accidents or other hazardous maneuvers beyond speed. We leveraged those mitigating facts and the client’s cooperation in negotiations and pushed for a nonconviction path. The matter concluded with deferred adjudication and conditions centered on safe driving, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After a late-night stop, officers reported locating a handgun and booked our client for unlawful carrying of a weapon. We obtained the incident reports and patrol video, then broke down the basis for the stop, the scope of the detention, and how the firearm was discovered. We compared those facts to the statutory elements for UCW and prepared suppression arguments. We met with the prosecutor early, outlined the evidentiary and legal problems, and signaled we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Probation sought to revoke our client’s deferred term, alleging missed reporting, incomplete programs, and unpaid fees. We obtained the probation file, gathered certificates and community service logs, and tracked payment history.

After presenting this record and highlighting gaps in the violation report, the prosecutor agreed the case was not worth pursuing. The motion was dismissed.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

Our client was on deferred adjudication for a felony when a motion to revoke alleged several months of missed reporting, failure to complete an evaluation, unfinished classes and community service, and unpaid fees. We obtained the full probation file and gathered proof of completed courses and service hours the report overlooked. The client resumed reporting immediately. We secured a supportive letter from the employer documenting consistent work and stability. Using that mitigation, we negotiated to keep the client on deferred probation instead of being adjudicated and sentenced.

We documented confusion over the assigned officer and the client's new full time work schedule, then secured a detailed letter from the employer. With no new offenses on record, we presented this mitigation to the prosecutor and probation. The case resolved with the client kept on deferred probation, not revoked.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

The client was on felony community supervision when the state moved to revoke, citing missed reporting and new out-of-state arrests. We tracked down supervision records and spoke with multiple officers in the other jurisdiction, confirming he had in fact reported. When they refused to send documentation to the defense, we put the prosecutor in direct contact and escalated to supervisors while preparing to contest the revocation. The state ultimately withdrew the motion and continued him on probation, leading to his release.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

The client was jailed on a felony motion to revoke after probation alleged missed reporting and new arrests from another state. We dug into the supervision record, contacted out-of-state officers, and secured confirmation of recent reporting and progress, along with proof of community service and compliance. We pressed the prosecutor with those materials and challenged the basis for revocation, making clear we were prepared to litigate. At the next setting, the state withdrew the motion and the client was continued on straight probation, allowing release.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The client was accused of briefly exposing himself in a public facility after a staff member reported the incident. He was later detained and gave a recorded statement. We pulled the reports and recording, scrutinized the elements, and presented mitigation, highlighting his lack of record, cooperation, and the impulsive nature of the act. After negotiations, the state agreed to a probationary outcome, avoiding jail and any registration requirement. He left on straight probation with classes and reporting, keeping the consequences limited to supervision.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

A motion to revoke was filed after the client, already on misdemeanor supervision, was accused of a new law violation. We acted quickly, obtained the revocation paperwork, and coordinated with probation to clarify the allegations and timeline. Our team compiled proof of prior compliance and addressed each claimed violation with supporting records. We pressed the state for a resolution that avoided revocation. The case was continued on deferred probation instead of being revoked, avoiding adjudication and keeping the client on track.

Charge

Failure to Control Speed (Accident)

Location

Collin County, Richardson Municipal Court

Allegations

A Class C citation was issued after a minor rear-end collision. The client reported the lead vehicle braked abruptly in traffic and the contact was slight. We obtained video evidence and documentation showing some damage on the client’s vehicle existed before the incident, undermining any claim that this event caused it. We emphasized the sudden stop, minimal impact, and gaps in proof that the client was driving at an unsafe speed. Confronted with those issues and our readiness to litigate, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Provide Information, Attended Vehicle (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Richardson Municipal Court

Allegations

After a minor contact in traffic, the client left without exchanging information and later received a citation at home. We moved quickly, secured home camera footage showing preexisting body damage, and collected proof of insurance and cooperation. We compared the available photos to the earlier damage and showed that the state could not reliably attribute any new harm to this event. Leveraging those evidentiary issues and a trial posture, we convinced the municipal prosecutor to dismiss the case.

Charge

Aggravated Kidnapping

Location

Collin County, 380th District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for aggravated kidnapping after a domestic dispute that continued in a vehicle. The complainant alleged being held against her will and pointed to bruising. We reconstructed the timeline, interviewed witnesses, and compared her statements, showing she entered the car voluntarily and that any physical contact occurred as she tried to exit a moving vehicle. We emphasized weaknesses in the aggravating element and the lack of corroboration. The state reduced the case to Class A unlawful restraint with deferred probation, avoiding a felony.
