Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 1

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a later arrest led to alleged violations and missed check-ins. After turning themselves in on a warrant, the state pushed for a prison sentence. We audited the file and discovered the revocation attempt relied on a prior motion that had already been withdrawn when probation was amended. We challenged the absence of any valid, active basis to proceed and prepared to litigate. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client faced a motion to revoke after an alcohol violation and a diluted test. We moved quickly, opened dialogue with the probation office and prosecutor, and secured written acceptance into a residential substance use program that allowed passes for required probation check-ins. We also helped the client clear outstanding obligations and built a concrete compliance plan. The state agreed to continue the case on deferred probation with treatment conditions.

Charge

Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

While on probation for an older case, the client was served with a motion to revoke after a new allegation surfaced. We obtained the probation file and compiled evidence of compliance, including on-time reporting, paid fees, and clean tests. We compared those records against the alleged violation and found the revocation rested on an unproven new case rather than actual noncompliance. We presented this to probation and the prosecutor and pressed the issue. The State dismissed the revocation, and the client’s probation remained intact.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Child

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Police opened a case after a report that our client had sexual contact with a minor during a gathering at a residence. We obtained the discovery, including the complainant’s statement and later recorded interview, and mapped the timeline with messages the family provided. The accounts conflicted on key details and the outcry came well after the alleged event, with no corroborating physical evidence. We presented those credibility problems to the prosecutor and pushed back on the proposed prison term. The state agreed to deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record if all terms are completed.

Charge

Harassment of a Public Servant (Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Officers were called to meet a flight after an in flight incident involving our client. While detained, the client became nauseous while handcuffed and vomited. An officer alleged the client intentionally spat on him, triggering a felony harassment charge. We gathered the reports, reconstructed the timeline, and centered the defense on lack of intent, showing the contact occurred during a medical episode. We pressed those issues with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Denton County, None

Allegations

Officers responded to a dispute at a residence and questioned our client repeatedly about whether she had been driving. When they moved to detain her, they claimed she pulled away, leading to a resisting or evading arrest charge. We obtained the bodycam footage, dispatch notes, and reports, which showed shifting explanations for the detention and unclear commands during handcuffing. We presented these inconsistencies to the prosecutor. With the key elements in doubt, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Injury

Location

Ellis County, 443RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police filed an accident involving injury charge after our client crashed into a parked car. From the start, we questioned whether anyone was actually hurt. We obtained the investigative file, pressed for the blood results, and had the toxicology reviewed for possible drink tampering given the client's memory gaps. The records showed property damage but no identifiable injured party, and the state’s file could not establish the required injury element. We presented those deficiencies, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Deadly Conduct - Misdemeanor

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

After a roadside confrontation, the client was accused of displaying a firearm at another driver and was charged with misdemeanor deadly conduct. Bodycam and 911 audio showed the complainant claimed fear of being shot, and the client made statements on scene. We obtained and reviewed all recordings, then focused on mitigation, highlighting the absence of prior record, the other motorist’s provocative driving, and the client’s cooperation. After sustained negotiations, prosecutors reduced the case to a lesser offense with deferred adjudication, avoiding a harsher conviction.

Charge

Duty on Striking an Unattended Vehicle

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2

Allegations

Police alleged the client struck a parked, unoccupied vehicle and left without leaving information. The client reported a significant memory gap from that night, raising concerns about possible involuntary intoxication. We obtained the crash report and dispatch records and pressed for all video and toxicology. We emphasized gaps in proof about what the client perceived at the scene and whether any meaningful opportunity to exchange information existed. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Appear

Location

Collin County, None

Allegations

A missed appearance on a municipal citation in Collin County resulted in a warrant and a separate failure to appear charge. We stepped in, contacted the court immediately, and arranged to recall the warrant and place the case back on the docket. We compiled records reflecting the client's ongoing mental health treatment and other mitigating circumstances. After negotiations and confirming the client's compliance moving forward, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

While driving for a delivery app at night, the client felt the car roll over an object in the road. Because traffic was heavy, they pulled over farther down to inspect the car and found no damage or blood. Passing back by later, they saw police activity in the area and worried they might be accused of leaving the scene. We were retained during the investigation, compiled the facts and monitored the case. With no evidence tying the vehicle to a collision, the matter was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Denton County, CCC5

Allegations

The client was accused of criminal trespass after a store incident where security said they had previously been told not to return. The client insisted there was no clear trespass warning and that a related citation from the same visit had already been dismissed. We obtained the incident paperwork and focused negotiations on the state's burden to prove effective notice and a knowing entry. We highlighted gaps in the documentation and made clear we were prepared to litigate them. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.
