Criminal Defense Case Results in Coryell, TX

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic disturbance at a home where an argument turned physical after a relative stepped in. The relative used a blunt object, our client was injured, and during the ensuing scuffle he was later charged with Assault Causing Bodily Injury for that encounter. We secured medical records and photographs showing head and arm trauma, reviewed body-worn camera footage, and gathered witness accounts to highlight mutual combat and self-defense concerns. We presented these issues to the prosecutor and pushed for a nonconviction path. The State agreed to deferred adjudication with probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Coryell County, 440th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for an older case when the state filed a motion to revoke after a positive drug test. Before contacting us, the client had self reported the relapse and entered counseling, psychiatric care, and an intensive outpatient program. We compiled proof of treatment, attendance, recent clean tests, steady employment, and provider statements. We also resolved a supervision mix up and coordinated a single plan across matters. After presenting this mitigation and pressing our position, the prosecution withdrew the motion and the court dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Coryell County

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence escalated when the complainant and a relative tried to leave. Officers alleged our client prevented the complainant from leaving by blocking a doorway and holding a car door, leading to an arrest for unlawful restraint. We gathered the client’s medical records and photos showing injuries from being struck, obtained Ring footage and bodycam video where available, and identified witnesses. The accounts proved inconsistent and did not show an intent to restrain, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Coryell County, 440th District Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence. Officers arrested our client for assault on a pregnant person based largely on the complainant’s initial account. We immediately preserved evidence of the client’s injuries, secured medical records documenting head trauma from a third party striking him with a bat, gathered photos, and compiled a witness list. We compared those materials to the police reports and body camera video and highlighted missing context and credibility gaps. With that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath

Location

Coryell County, 440th District Court

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic dispute at a residence, and our client was accused of placing hands on the complainant’s neck. The arrest relied heavily on the initial statement. We built a counter‑narrative using medical records and photos of the client’s injuries, collected potential witness names, and compared the reports with bodycam references for consistency. We also preserved post‑incident communications from the complainant and pursued available home‑camera footage. With that leverage, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

During a traffic stop, an officer claimed our client made a wide turn and questioned them about nearby burglaries. Backup arrived and, after our client initially refused a search, officers said they would take them to jail and search anyway. A search of a backpack followed, and psilocybin was logged as evidence. We obtained the dash and body camera video and reports, highlighting the shaky basis for the stop and the coercive consent. We pressed the state on suppression issues and plain‑view inconsistencies. Facing exclusion of the key evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Individual

Location

Coryell County, 52nd District Court

Allegations

Police filed an injury-to-a-child case after an emergency at a residence where our client called 911 when a very young child was hurt. The matter sat for years before being revived near the charging deadline. We obtained the medical records and interview videos, emphasized the lack of intent and the client’s immediate call for help, and pressed the State on the long delay and gaps in the evidence. We also challenged efforts to tie later medical issues to the incident. After sustained negotiations, the State agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction and incarceration.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Coryell County, 52nd District Court

Allegations

The client was jailed on a felony motion to revoke probation after alleged technical violations and a no‑bond hold. We moved quickly, filing a writ to force a bond hearing and pressing for release. Our team collected proof of attempted compliance, including emails with supervision staff and phone records reflecting repeated outreach, and secured the client’s device for preservation of that data. We presented this evidence and argued for continuation rather than revocation. The court kept the client on probation.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

Our client was stopped for driving without headlights at dusk. The officer claimed an odor of marijuana and searched the car, finding only a tiny fragment. During the same stop, a bag in the back seat was tied to another person who admitted ownership on a recorded call captured by body cam. We pulled the videos and reports, emphasized the trace and not a usable amount, and questioned the basis for the search and knowing possession. Confronted with the evidentiary weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

After a traffic stop, officers said they smelled marijuana, searched the car, and found a tiny amount plus a fanny pack with mushrooms in the back seat. On a speaker call during the stop, the recent passenger admitted the pack was theirs, captured on the officer’s recording. Despite that, a felony case was later opened. We contacted investigators and pressed the DA to review the body cam and the admission, while challenging any link to our client. Faced with those proof problems, the state dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation for DWI, the client faced a motion to revoke based on alleged alcohol violations from a portable monitoring device. We obtained calibration records and vendor notes showing the unit repeatedly malfunctioned and could not be properly calibrated. We also compiled proof of the client’s compliance and medical documentation, then moved the client to a different provider and documented a sustained period of clean tests. Confronted with unreliable evidence, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The client was accused of unlawful carrying after a police encounter. We secured the police records and scrutinized how the weapon was discovered and whether the detention and search were lawful. We evaluated statutory exceptions that could apply and compared them against the officers' accounts. Our review exposed gaps in the timeline and uncertainty about possession. Faced with those problems and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.
