Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Tarrant County, Mansfield Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a Class C assault by contact citation after a domestic disagreement at a residence, when the complainant said her wrist hurt as the client took back his phone. We got involved quickly, opened discussions with the prosecution, and sought the police report and any video. Our review of the incident showed the complainant had taken the phone first, there were no documented injuries, and her statements and later messages were inconsistent. We packaged those issues and pressed the State on proof of offensive contact. The prosecution dismissed the case for insufficient evidence.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested in another jurisdiction during a broader investigation. Probation tightened conditions with GPS monitoring and alcohol testing and filed a motion to revoke. We pulled the probation file and device logs, corrected misinformation about exclusion zones and alleged missed blows, and documented ongoing compliance. We also pressed the prosecutor on the absence of any filed new case to support a violation. After negotiations with probation and the State, the court dismissed the motion to revoke and the client remained on probation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

The client was arrested on a felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We stepped in quickly, obtained the discovery, and dissected the officer accounts and timeline. We engaged the prosecutor early, pressed on whether the evidence satisfied the elements the State would need to prove at trial, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case, and the client did not have to return to court.

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

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.
