Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Disorderly Conduct - Exposure (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Justice of the Peace, 3-1

Allegations

After a complaint from rideshare passengers, our client received a citation alleging disorderly conduct exposure. Discovery showed no photos, video, or third-party corroboration, only conflicting statements about what was said and shown in the car. We pressed the prosecutor on the proof problems and the practical risk to both sides if the case went to trial. Leveraging those weaknesses, we secured a short deferred probation with a modest fine and no conviction. After completion, the client became eligible to move forward with an expunction.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Euless Municipal Court

Allegations

Police were called to a hotel parking lot where the client was found asleep in the driver seat of a parked vehicle after having drinks. He cooperated throughout, but officers concluded he was intoxicated in a public place and issued a citation. We obtained the bodycam and reports and challenged whether he posed a danger to himself or others, the key element of the offense. When the state declined to dismiss, we negotiated a short, non-reporting deferred probation with a fine, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

Probation moved to revoke after a multi agency search led to an arrest in another county and a series of technical alerts, including GPS exclusion zone pings and a few late or missed breath tests. We pulled the supervision file, interlock logs, and monitoring records and showed the client was otherwise compliant and that no new case had been filed. We worked with probation to correct the zone settings and cure any reporting issues. Confronted with those gaps and due process concerns, the prosecutor dismissed the revocation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 6

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client was investigated for DWI following a night out. They acknowledged drinking, performed field sobriety tests, and declined a roadside breath test. At the station they also refused a blood draw, which officers later obtained by warrant. We combed through the video and police reports, highlighting the client's diabetes and the limits of the roadside testing under those conditions. After sustained negotiations, the case was resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after observing a vehicle exit behind a closed business and make a wide right turn. Field sobriety testing followed, despite the client’s rheumatoid arthritis affecting balance. No breath sample was taken roadside, and a blood draw was performed later under a warrant. We obtained the videos and reports and challenged the legality of the stop and the reliability of the testing in a suppression hearing. Although the court sided with the state, we used the client’s clean alcohol monitoring and proactive treatment to negotiate straight probation, with removal of the ankle monitor and time to arrange any jail condition.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Already on supervision for a felony drug case, the client missed reporting after becoming homeless and relocating, and a revocation was filed. A later traffic stop led to arrest on the warrant and an initial push from prior counsel to accept months in jail. We took over, compiled proof of steady employment and caregiving, pointed to clean drug tests and an assessment recommending marijuana classes, and coordinated a voluntary surrender to clear the warrant. After negotiations with the prosecutor and probation, the court kept the client on supervision with added conditions.

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

After a family dispute, a relative left the residence on foot. The client located her, helped her into a car, and she attempted to call 911, which led to an arrest for unlawful restraint. Our team got involved early, monitored the filing status, and once it was filed obtained the state’s discovery. We collected witness statements and background materials that framed the incident as a safety concern and challenged the initial narrative. The complainant later indicated she did not wish to continue. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication when probation alleged violations for a positive drug test and failure to participate in required classes. We reviewed the motion, confirmed the treatment issue was tied to payments, and arranged re-enrollment. Our team expedited an evaluation and met with the client in custody to prepare and prevent further setbacks. We engaged the prosecutor early, pushing to preserve deferred status while addressing compliance gaps. The case ended with continued probation on modified terms, including a marijuana class and renewed therapy, and the client was released.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Prior Conviction)

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A domestic argument escalated to mutual pushing, and the next day the complainant called a different police agency than the one with jurisdiction. The client had already left and only learned of a warrant during a later traffic stop. Felony charges were filed based on an alleged prior. We obtained the reports, emphasized the delayed reporting, venue confusion, and inconsistencies between the initial account and later statements, and documented the complainant’s stated desire not to proceed. We pressed these weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI With Child Under 15

Location

Collin County, 199th District Court

Allegations

After a minor fender-bender, officers contacted our client while a child was in the vehicle. She refused a breath test, a warrant was obtained for blood, and roadside tests were cited to support arrest. We obtained the videos and lab records, scrutinized the stop and blood-draw procedures, and assembled a mitigation packet showing no prior record, prompt counseling and treatment, and compliance with bond conditions. Leveraging that work, we negotiated the felony down to a misdemeanor resolution with probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a single‑vehicle incident that caused minor property damage. Officers responded to a 911 call, noted indicators of impairment, administered field sobriety tests, and obtained a consensual blood draw following a breath test refusal. The result later came back well over .15, increasing exposure. We obtained the body cam, dash cam, 911 audio, and lab records, ensured bond compliance with an interlock, and front‑loaded alcohol education. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with straight probation and no jail time.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

The client was arrested out of state on a Texas warrant after investigators linked deposits and transfers to a bank account in her name. She reported that an acquaintance had accessed the account. We compiled bank records, statements, and surveillance showing the cash withdrawals and electronic transfers were executed by third parties, not our client. We submitted a detailed packet identifying those individuals and arranged full restitution to the complainant. The prosecution dismissed the case.
