Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

The state filed a motion to revoke our client's felony probation after probation alleged a missed check in, a missed urine test, nonpayment, and failure to enter day treatment. We dug into the history and found the client had completed residential rehab followed by intensive outpatient, had been working and enrolled in classes, and had documented attempts to check in. We gathered discharge certificates, call logs, and compliance records and brought them to the prosecutor and probation. After we pressed the communication gaps and showed current compliance, the warrant was lifted and the motion was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client was accused of missing a treatment program, skipping a urine test, and failing to report after a phone number change disrupted a scheduled virtual check-in. We obtained rehab and intensive outpatient completion records, plus documentation of steady progress at work and school. We also compiled call logs and messages showing the client attempted to check in. After engaging with probation and the prosecutor, the warrant was recalled and compliance recognized. The state dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Denton County, Pilot Point Municipal Court

Allegations

The incident began at a fuel stop where the client accidentally drove off with the nozzle still attached. They had taken prescribed anti-anxiety medication, reported no alcohol, and officers attempted field sobriety tests. We secured the dash and bodycam videos and the report, which showed unclear instructions and thin evidence that the client posed a danger to anyone. After addressing a scheduling issue, we pressed these weaknesses in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation, preserving a clean record upon successful completion.

Charge

Racing

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Officers alleged our client was racing after a quick burst from a stoplight with another driver. He told us he accelerated briefly, then returned to normal speed, and he gave no statements when later stopped and arrested. We obtained the police reports and scrutinized whether the elements of a racing offense were actually met. Citing the short duration, lack of continued participation, and no admissions, we pushed for an alternative path. The client completed pretrial intervention and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Rockwall County, 382nd District Court

Allegations

Police claimed our client fled on a motorcycle after an attempted stop on a rural road, ending in a crash and hospitalization. We pulled the dash and body camera video, radio traffic, and reports, then challenged the basis for the attempted stop and whether the state could prove intentional flight. The footage did not show the initial violation and left real doubt about his awareness of a pursuit. We also raised concerns about pursuit tactics contributing to the wreck and documented his serious injuries and rehabilitation. Under pressure, the state reduced the case and he received credit for time served.

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

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

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

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

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.
