Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 6

Allegations

This case arose from an older allegation that a driver fled a traffic stop in a vehicle. By the time the warrant issued, significant time had passed and our client was no longer using that car, which others also had access to. We demanded and reviewed the police reports, any available video, and dispatch records, then targeted gaps in the timeline and the state’s ability to prove who was driving. We kept steady pressure on the prosecution and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Ellis County, None

Allegations

The client was arrested after a dating partner reported stalking. We got involved early, opened communication with the prosecutor, and focused on the actual context of the relationship. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we documented and delivered to the state. With the complainant unwilling to proceed, we pressed for a negotiated resolution. The case was resolved with deferred probation, avoiding the risks of trial while the client complies with court terms.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic disturbance reported by a neighbor. After separating everyone, police arrested our client on the complainant's claim that his forearm pressed her neck, leading to a strangulation charge. The client had scratches and torn clothing, and there was no corroborating medical evidence or documented injuries for the complainant. We secured a notarized statement from the complainant clarifying the incident and compiled inconsistencies between her accounts and the report. We presented those credibility and proof issues to the prosecution, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Denton County, Flower Mound Municipal Court

Allegations

After a night out, the client was detained when officers alleged he was intoxicated in a public area. We scrutinized the arrest report, clarified the brief nature of the encounter, and highlighted mitigating details. In municipal court, we pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. The prosecutor agreed to a short deferred probation requiring an online class and fees. By completing the terms, the client avoided a conviction and kept the incident off their record.

Charge

Theft of Service

Location

Denton County, Flower Mound Municipal Court

Allegations

After a late-night incident, the client received a municipal citation for Theft of Service based on an allegation they failed to pay for a service. We obtained the municipal file and scrutinized the statements and documentation supporting the complaint. Our strategy focused on whether the state could prove a knowing intent to avoid payment and whether the account of events was reliable. We pressed those issues in negotiations and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecutor dismissed the Theft of Service case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute at a residence after a neighbor reported an argument about keys. The complainant told officers she was pregnant and alleged our client used force, leading to an arrest for assault on a pregnant person. We obtained the police materials, highlighted the lack of corroboration beyond the initial account, and the complainant later submitted a sworn request not to prosecute that clarified what occurred. After we pressed these issues with the DA, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

A new arrest from a domestic dispute triggered a probation revocation and an arrest warrant. We moved quickly to secure a bond and address restrictive conditions that kept the client from returning home. Our team gathered documentation from the complaining witness and case records, and the underlying charges were later no-billed by a grand jury. We used that result to press the prosecution to abandon the revocation. The motion was dismissed and the client’s supervision continued without additional penalties.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Denton County, Flower Mound Municipal Court

Allegations

After a night out, our client was cited for Class C assault following a brief altercation in a public area. We reviewed the municipal file and clarified the limited facts with the client, who remembered little about the encounter. In negotiations, we pressed for a non-conviction resolution focused on compliance rather than punishment. The prosecutor agreed to deferred probation with modest fees and a short online class. Upon successful completion, the matter is closed without a conviction on the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Officers found the vehicle on a grassy area after it struck a curb. The driver admitted to having beers, completed field sobriety tests, and remained polite and cooperative. We obtained the videos and blood results, which showed a BAC just over the limit but under 0.15, and footage reflecting steady demeanor and decent test performance. With no prior record and no aggravating conduct, we pressed these points and negotiated with the prosecution. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic incident and filed a family violence assault charge. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the state's evidence, and mapped out a litigation strategy, including setting the case for trial if needed. In negotiations, we emphasized the burden of proof and held the line on our client's rights. After the prosecutor conducted further review and we continued to advocate firmly, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

Stopped at night for high beams, the officer reported an alcohol odor and an open container. The client performed roadside tests and consented to a blood draw that later came back over .15. We obtained and reviewed the videos, reports, and lab records, highlighting the limited driving issue and the client’s cooperation. The client completed a DWI class, a substance abuse evaluation, and a victim impact panel. Using that mitigation and our case work, we negotiated a reduced charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Terroristic Threat (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Our client was accused after a heated exchange that someone reported as a terroristic threat. We obtained the police reports and evidence, scrutinized each statement, and charted a precise timeline. The accounts conflicted and the state could not show a specific, credible threat or intent. We set the case for contested hearings and trial, and pressed these weaknesses in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the case.
