Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony probation near the end of the term, citing a rumored out‑of‑state theft warrant that was non‑extraditable and an earlier testing hiccup. We coordinated a planned surrender to control the bond process, pulled the probation records, and compiled proof of substantial compliance, including paid fees, completed classes, and recent clean tests. We challenged treating the out‑of‑state matter as a new offense and focused negotiations on what could be proven. The case resolved with a reduced sanction and credit for time served, securing the client’s release.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

An online sting led to brief text exchanges and an arrest at a hotel. The messages never spelled out specific sexual acts or a clear sex for money agreement, and in a recorded interview the client did not admit one. We obtained the reports, body cam footage, and the full text thread, then highlighted the missing elements the state needed to prove. We also presented strong mitigation and documented serious immigration consequences. After sustained negotiations focused on these evidentiary gaps, the prosecutor dismissed the case. No plea and no probation, with eligibility for expunction in time.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state moved to revoke after a new arrest for alleged possession of a small amount of narcotics at a local venue. The petition sought prison time. We pulled the full probation file, verified months of compliance and program completions, and gathered mitigation about a recent family loss and the client’s effort to address addiction. We met with the prosecutor, challenged the requested term, and advocated for a limited sanction. The court agreed to a reduced disposition and credited all custody as time served.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Denton County, 158th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police executed a raid at a residence where our client had just arrived. Officers later said a bag with drugs also held the client's swim shoes, and treated that as an admission of ownership. From day one we challenged the link between our client and the bag, compared the affidavit to his statements, and documented that the bag and shoes were not returned in property. We obtained discovery, dissected the reports, and prepared to litigate the possession issue. We used those weaknesses to negotiate a plea to straight probation with standard supervision, keeping the client out of custody.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument when officers alleged he grabbed his spouse's arm and caused pain. He disputed assaultive intent and recalled only trying to move her away from a doorway while children were nearby, all while coping with Parkinson's and memory issues from a prior injury. We secured the police reports, photos, and other discovery, and assembled medical documentation of his condition. We pressed these issues with the prosecution and obtained excusal from in-person settings. The State ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, City of Mesquite Municipal

Allegations

The client received a municipal citation for Class C assault by contact after a brief, non-injurious touch during a workplace interaction. We engaged immediately, requested discovery, and opened negotiations with the prosecutor. The client had already completed a workplace conduct course, which we documented and submitted. Separately, the complaining witness later indicated they did not wish to proceed. Leveraging both developments, we pushed for dismissal and the state dropped the case in full.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Our client was investigated after a domestic argument at a home escalated and the complainant reported being pushed, with photos showing an arm bruise and a damaged nightstand. We got involved before any interview, advised the client to decline questioning, and opened communication with the investigator. When a warrant issued, we arranged a safe self-surrender and addressed the no-contact conditions. We obtained the complainant’s affidavit of non-prosecution and the client completed anger-management. We presented this to the prosecutor and, after continued pressure, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Vehicle

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Officers alleged the driver failed to stop, leading to a short pursuit where spike strips disabled the vehicle and the client was taken to a hospital afterward. The client remembered little of the incident. We obtained dashcam and bodycam video, dispatch audio, police reports, and medical records, and pulled apart the timeline and signals to stop against the client’s awareness. The materials left real doubt about any knowing attempt to flee and exposed gaps in the pursuit narrative. We presented those issues and mitigation to the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Following a minor collision, the client was arrested for DWI after roadside tests were conducted without the client's required prescription glasses. The client initially declined a blood draw, and officers later obtained a warrant and collected a sample hours after driving. We gathered proof of the vision restriction and documented that the field tests occurred without corrective lenses, emphasizing the delay before the blood draw. At the ALR hearing we locked in the officer's account under oath and used these issues in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Officers alleged a third DWI after a late night encounter. The client declined testing, and a warrant was used for a hospital blood draw. The case was filed as a felony based on two supposed prior DWIs. We obtained the enhancement records and showed the state could not support a second qualifying conviction. We also challenged the warrant and blood handling. Under that pressure, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was arrested after a single vehicle crash following a night out. Officers noted an odor of alcohol, the client admitted drinking, and a hospital blood draw was obtained. No roadside field sobriety tests were conducted due to the accident. We obtained the reports and lab results, examined the legality of the arrest, the blood draw protocol, and the officer's DWI training record. Using those issues and the client's clean history, we negotiated deferred adjudication with manageable terms, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County \u200bCourt \u200bat Law 1

Allegations

The case began after a wrong-way crash during icy conditions. Officers performed field sobriety tests on a slick roadway, then took the client to a hospital for a blood draw. We gathered the body-cam video and medical records, highlighting how the tests were conducted on ice and how a prior leg injury and treatment affected performance. The blood result later came back under .15 and our client started classes and counseling immediately. Using those issues and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication to keep a conviction off the record.
