Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, DC466

Allegations

Police responded to a welfare check after a domestic dispute at a residence. Our client reported being prevented from leaving, the argument escalated, and a handgun was displayed, but no shots were fired and no one was injured. The arrest rested largely on a single account with no independent witnesses. We scrutinized the reports and probable cause affidavit, emphasized the absence of injuries, and documented that the complainant was not pursuing prosecution. The case went to a grand jury, which returned a no-bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Comal County, CC1

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after a late night of drinking. The client was accused of choking and striking a person who lived there. He suffered a broken nose, had little memory of events, and there were no independent witnesses, with both parties intoxicated. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam, hospital records, and the police report, highlighting evidentiary gaps and the client’s injuries. After sustained negotiations, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser misdemeanor with probationary terms.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, 466th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged our client committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a motorcycle crash in which a passenger suffered serious injuries. The report claimed intoxication and rider error caused the wreck during a U-turn. We dug into the scene evidence, noted the damage pattern on the motorcycle, and retained an accident reconstruction expert. The expert’s analysis supported that a sudden weight shift by the passenger caused the fall. We paired that with documented issues in the hospital blood draws and pressed the DA. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a felony conviction off the client’s record.
