Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

After a traffic stop that began when the driver accelerated to reach a restroom, police arrested our client and first labeled it evading in a vehicle. Video review later undercut that theory, and the case was refiled as reckless driving. We obtained the body cam, dashcam, and reports, showing the client pulled over immediately and was never given sobriety tests or a breath test. We highlighted the officer's speed claim against vehicle limits and the lack of evidence of dangerous driving. With those credibility and proof issues on the record, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, 371st DC

Allegations

Screeners flagged the client’s luggage at an airport and officers claimed to find concentrated THC, leading to a serious possession charge. Later, an out-of-state arrest on a warrant brought the matter back before the court. We obtained surveillance footage, police reports, and lab and booking records, then cross-checked them line by line. The state’s account of why the bag was targeted and how the items were handled did not align, and notice problems surrounded the missed setting that triggered the warrant. We prepared suppression challenges and pressed these defects with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

Officers stopped the client for alleged swerving and performed field sobriety tests before making an arrest. The client admitted to drinking earlier and consented to a blood draw at a facility. Our team scrutinized the stop, the SFST documentation, and the lab paperwork, and we presented strong mitigation centered on a clean record and cooperation. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to straight probation, avoiding jail and allowing the client to move forward.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Dallas County, City of Farmers Branch Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was detained roadside after a traffic crash, where officers observed vomiting and unsteadiness and made a public intoxication arrest. We obtained the reports and focused on the facts that the client was a passenger, their presence on the roadside resulted from the collision, and the nausea and disorientation could be explained by the impact and shock. We questioned whether the state could prove danger to self or others and signaled readiness for trial. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon compliance.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

After a massage session, a customer returned days later and accused our client, a therapist, of sexual assault. She had accepted the full appointment, sought a complimentary redo, then made escalating claims, including penetration and later alleged stalking, none supported by evidence. We reviewed discovery, gathered staff accounts, and documented credibility problems, inconsistencies, and the delayed report. We compiled those materials for the prosecutor and pressed for grand jury review. The grand jury returned a no-bill and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a motion to revoke alleged multiple positive UAs for marijuana and issues with a treatment class. Probation pushed for ISF time and an extra year. We moved quickly, pulled the records, proved re-enrollment and steady attendance in a new IOP, and cleaned up compliance items. We opened talks with supervision and the prosecutor and pressed for a noncustodial outcome. The prosecution withdrew the motion, the court dismissed the revocation case, and the client was discharged from probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 7

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation from an older case when a motion to revoke was filed for missed fee payments and an unfinished education class. A warrant followed and the client was taken into custody. We obtained the probation file, verified the payment history, and documented confusion caused by a change in supervising officers. We then arranged for the client to complete the remaining class and make the required donation, compiled proof of compliance, and pushed the State to stand down. The court dismissed the motion.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 401st District Court

Allegations

Our client was on deferred adjudication when a felony motion to revoke was filed after several out‑of‑state arrests triggered a warrant. We coordinated with probation and out‑of‑state counsel, obtained records, and challenged what the State could actually prove. In negotiations we pushed to remove the most serious allegations and narrowed the case to minor traffic matters. After arranging a controlled appearance, the warrant was lifted and the judge continued the client on deferred probation with an extension rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Rockwall County, Rockwall Municipal Court

Allegations

During a domestic dispute, a third party called 911. Officers arrived, noted a loud argument and some damaged drywall, but the complainant told them there had been no physical contact. No arrest was made, and a Class C assault by contact citation arrived later by mail. We got involved quickly, requested bodycam and 911 records, and emphasized the absence of evidence of offensive contact. The complainant signed a notarized affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. At an early court setting, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant, the client hit standing water and slid into a utility pole, bringing officers to the scene. Field sobriety tests were given and the client was arrested. There was no breath test, only a later blood draw, and the client had no prior record. We obtained the dash and body camera videos, the blood kit paperwork, and the lab records, then scrutinized the roadside testing and the gap between arrest and the sample. Through negotiations, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Injury to a Child/Elderly/Disabled Person

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

The case began after a child in our client’s care arrived at school with minor marks and reported being disciplined with water, prompting a CPS referral and an arrest. Our client denied any intent to harm. We obtained the CPS file, school report, photos, and interviews, and compared them against the initial police narrative. The accounts conflicted on key points and the documented injury was minimal. We highlighted the caretaking context and the client’s clean history while challenging proof of intent. The state reduced the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Tarrant County, NOMTCH

Allegations

Our client was detained at an airport after authorities found a small amount of marijuana and edibles in their belongings. A misdemeanor case was filed and the client posted a low bond. We obtained the airport police reports and reviewed how the items were discovered and documented. We challenged the legal basis for the search and highlighted gaps in proof of knowing possession and quantity. After persistent negotiations and signaling we were ready to litigate suppression issues, the state dismissed the case.
