Criminal Defense Case Results in Collin, TX

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

The client was charged with unlawful carrying after officers found a handgun in the vehicle during a post-incident investigation. He reported it had been left in the car after a visit to a shooting range earlier that day. We obtained the reports and available recordings to pin down how the firearm was discovered and whether the elements of UCW were met. We emphasized the context of transport from the range and the client’s clean record. After persistent negotiations, the state offered deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon successful completion.

Charge

Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information

Location

Collin County

Allegations

The charge stemmed from officers finding a fake ID during a vehicle search after an incident that led to the client’s arrest. The card had the client’s photo but a different name, and the client said it had been forgotten in the car and was never used. We reviewed the reports and discovery, scrutinized the basis for the search, and emphasized that there was no evidence of use, no identified victim, and no indication the identifiers belonged to a real person. Confronted with these gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, Wylie Municipal Court

Allegations

During a store self-checkout, loss prevention detained our client, claiming a few low‑dollar items were missed. The client had already asked an employee to review the receipt and later received a refund for a duplicate charge that exceeded the alleged loss. We obtained the available surveillance and body‑worn camera footage, plus receipts and refund records, and demanded production of all angles. We showed the evidence did not prove intent to steal and that the valuation was unreliable. Facing those weaknesses and our readiness for trial, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony probation near the end of the term, citing a rumored out‑of‑state theft warrant that was non‑extraditable and an earlier testing hiccup. We coordinated a planned surrender to control the bond process, pulled the probation records, and compiled proof of substantial compliance, including paid fees, completed classes, and recent clean tests. We challenged treating the out‑of‑state matter as a new offense and focused negotiations on what could be proven. The case resolved with a reduced sanction and credit for time served, securing the client’s release.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Our client was investigated after a domestic argument at a home escalated and the complainant reported being pushed, with photos showing an arm bruise and a damaged nightstand. We got involved before any interview, advised the client to decline questioning, and opened communication with the investigator. When a warrant issued, we arranged a safe self-surrender and addressed the no-contact conditions. We obtained the complainant’s affidavit of non-prosecution and the client completed anger-management. We presented this to the prosecutor and, after continued pressure, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Vehicle

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Officers alleged the driver failed to stop, leading to a short pursuit where spike strips disabled the vehicle and the client was taken to a hospital afterward. The client remembered little of the incident. We obtained dashcam and bodycam video, dispatch audio, police reports, and medical records, and pulled apart the timeline and signals to stop against the client’s awareness. The materials left real doubt about any knowing attempt to flee and exposed gaps in the pursuit narrative. We presented those issues and mitigation to the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was arrested after a single vehicle crash following a night out. Officers noted an odor of alcohol, the client admitted drinking, and a hospital blood draw was obtained. No roadside field sobriety tests were conducted due to the accident. We obtained the reports and lab results, examined the legality of the arrest, the blood draw protocol, and the officer's DWI training record. Using those issues and the client's clean history, we negotiated deferred adjudication with manageable terms, keeping a conviction off the record.

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.
