Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Police were called after our client attempted to remove a vehicle he believed was subject to repossession and a window was broken to get it out of park. He was charged with criminal mischief for the alleged property damage. We obtained the reports, towing communications, and shop records to show this was a tow request in context, not a malicious act. We also questioned the valuation of the damage and whether the state could prove intent. After arranging prompt restitution to address the minor repair, we presented our mitigation to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 1

Allegations

While on felony probation for an older case, our client was accused of violations after missed check-ins and a relapse. The State pushed for prison time and set a revocation hearing. We obtained the file and discovered there was no active motion to revoke on record, only a previously withdrawn filing. We challenged the court's authority to proceed and notified the prosecutor that the case could not move forward without a valid motion. After sustained pressure and briefing, the State dismissed the revocation.

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

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 We audited the file and discovered the revocation attempt relied on a prior motion that had already been withdrawn when probation was amended.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

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Euless Municipal Court

Allegations

While visiting family, our client was outside a store with friends after staff refused service to someone in the group. Police arrived in response to an argument involving another person, and despite our client standing away from the disturbance, officers detained everyone. He admitted to having a few drinks earlier, but no field tests or breath tests were performed. We obtained the reports and bodycam, highlighting no signs of impairment and no danger to self or others. After pressing the prosecutor and signaling readiness for trial, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

An out of state warrant led to our client being arrested and held for extradition on an allegation of aggravated sexual assault. The client consistently maintained they were away from the area when the incident was said to have occurred. We moved quickly to secure employment verification and scheduling records from the employer confirming the client was working out of state during the relevant period. We presented this alibi package to the prosecutor and pressed the timeline issues. With the evidence undermining the accusation and no prior record, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested for criminal mischief after allegedly splashing coffee on property at a public venue. We obtained the incident materials and scrutinized whether the state could prove actual damage and the required valuation element. We also documented the client's mental health concerns at the time and presented that mitigation. After sustained negotiations, we emphasized gaps in proof and context that undercut intent. The prosecution elected to dismiss the case.

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

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.
