Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

While on misdemeanor deferred probation, the client was flagged for a violation and a motion to revoke was filed, which also generated a warrant. We moved quickly, contacted supervision and the assigned prosecutor, and compiled proof of the client’s compliance, including completion of a required class. We prepared for a walk-through if necessary, but after reviewing our submissions the state agreed not to proceed with revocation and to recall the warrant. The client was continued on deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Dallas County

Allegations

After a minor collision with another vehicle, the driver left the area and later learned law enforcement was trying to make contact. We were retained during the investigation phase and immediately took over communications, instructing that no statements be made. Our review showed no injury claims and no reliable identification of the driver beyond a license plate. We monitored for any warrant activity and highlighted the evidentiary gaps. With no case filed and the investigation stalling out, the matter was dismissed.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Dallas County, 292nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

After an arrest for solicitation of prostitution, our client remained in custody with an immigration hold. We met in jail, pulled the discovery, and opened communication with the assigned prosecutor. The state later proposed a deferred adjudication offer, which we rejected because any plea would jeopardize the client's immigration case. We coordinated with immigration counsel and held a firm dismissal-or-trial position while the evidence was reviewed. The prosecution ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was found asleep outside a convenience store. First responders checked on them, police arrived, issued a citation, and the client was briefly held before release. We obtained the police records and evidence, scrutinizing whether they posed a danger to themselves or others as required for the offense. We emphasized cooperation, no vehicle involved, and the absence of any disturbance or injuries. Through focused negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Speeding - Traffic Citation

Location

Dallas County, Irving Municipal Court

Allegations

A routine traffic stop for speeding led to a citation. The client missed the initial court date, and the case went into warrant status. We filed an attorney bond to recall the warrants and got the matter back on the docket. We obtained discovery and pressed for a dismissal, but the prosecutor declined based on prior ticket history. Through continued negotiation we reduced the penalties, and the state agreed to deferred adjudication on the citation with a driver safety course, timely payment, and no new violations.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

The client was on probation for a first-time DWI when a motion to revoke was filed, citing out of area travel, missed programs, skipped alcohol-monitor tests, and positive readings. The client provided receipts showing classes completed and described a single device contamination issue, backed by a negative test. We obtained the probation file, compared the logs, and challenged the violation counts while compiling proof of compliance. After negotiations with probation and the prosecutor, the matter was reduced and resolved with time served.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest (Investigation)

Location

Dallas County

Allegations

Police alleged our client resisted or attempted to evade during a brief encounter, leading to an arrest and a jail hold. We got involved early, coordinated with immigration counsel, and obtained documentation confirming a pending status application. Along with letters and supporting materials, we used that to push back on the state's initial deferred adjudication offer and press for dismissal. After persistent follow ups and court presentations, the prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss, which the judge signed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor DWI probation when the state filed a motion to revoke after several positive urinalysis results for cocaine and missed requirements, including the DWI education course and community service. We obtained the revocation packet, documented what had been completed, and engaged the prosecutor before the setting. Rather than risk an open plea that would extend supervision, we pushed for a clean end. The case was resolved with a reduced disposition, credit for time served on the underlying case, no further jail, and probation terminated.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 291st Judicial District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, our client was arrested on a new allegation involving a neighborhood scuffle with a child, triggering a motion to revoke. We got involved immediately, visited at the jail, sought bond, and gathered the video and witness statements showing the child initiated contact and the force used was minimal. We also highlighted the client’s strong compliance history with probation and pressed the prosecutor on the weaknesses. After the new case was no billed, the State dismissed the revocation.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 3

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was taken into custody after a traffic stop and faced a motion to revoke based on multiple positive drug and alcohol tests and several missed tests. At the first setting the State pushed for incarceration or placement in a treatment facility. We pulled the probation file and test records, evaluated each alleged violation, and prepared for a contested hearing. We emphasized the client's proximity to completing supervision. After sustained negotiations, the State dismissed the revocation and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Allegations

Our client was on felony probation when a traffic stop triggered a hold on a motion to revoke. The state alleged multiple positive drug and alcohol tests and missed check-ins, and sought incarceration.

After multiple settings and sustained negotiations, the prosecution relented. The court dismissed the motion, and the client avoided revocation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Dallas County

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a parked vehicle, claimed an odor of marijuana, and searched the car, locating a handgun. The firearm was lawfully owned and the client held a carry license from another state. We scrutinized the basis for the encounter and the scope of the search, pointing out inconsistencies and the lack of independent corroboration for the odor claim. We provided proof of lawful ownership and made clear we were ready to litigate suppression issues. The prosecutor dismissed the UCW charge, and we moved to recover the firearm.
