Criminal Defense Case Results in Coryell, TX

Charge

Possession of a Fictitious or Fake ID

Location

Coryell County, 440TH DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

During a traffic stop for an equipment issue, officers searched the vehicle and found identification cards that belonged to other people. That discovery led to a charge for possessing a fictitious or fake ID. We gathered the reports, clarified how the cards ended up in the car, and emphasized that there was no attempt to present or use them to mislead anyone during the stop. We highlighted mitigating factors and our client’s willingness to comply with strict supervision. After sustained negotiation, the state and court agreed to straight probation.

Charge

Theft (Misdemeanor)

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after observing them conceal merchandise and head toward the exit, even though some items were paid for. Police were called, and the client was arrested for misdemeanor theft. We analyzed the police and loss prevention reports, clarified exactly what was taken, and emphasized the limited value and the client's clean record. We presented those points in negotiations and pushed for a non-conviction resolution. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

Racing

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

Police alleged the client and a friend accelerated side by side with a passenger in the car, and an officer signaled them to stop. We dug into the report and evidence and challenged whether the facts actually showed a coordinated race rather than brief acceleration. We emphasized the lack of corroboration beyond a single observational account and the absence of details establishing a true speed contest. After presenting those weaknesses and preparing to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

Officers alleged our client was driving aggressively alongside another vehicle. When emergency lights were activated, the client continued to a nearby location before stopping. We secured the police reports, mapped out the sequence of events, and challenged whether the conduct actually met the legal threshold for reckless disregard of safety. We raised these weaknesses with the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state ultimately dismissed the case.
