Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The client faced a misdemeanor motion to revoke after missed check-ins and UA requests while on probation. He had left the area during a family emergency and lost housing, and some classes and service hours were unfinished. We documented the circumstances and his efforts to reengage with probation, including voluntary testing, then negotiated directly with the prosecutor. In court we leveraged that mitigation to narrow the alleged violations and avoid additional custody. The state reduced the allegations and resolved the case for time served.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Probation sought to revoke our client’s deferred adjudication after a new misdemeanor arrest and a missed reporting date. We moved quickly, coordinated surrender and bond, and obtained the supervision file and arrest records. We compiled proof of substantial compliance, including completed community service and ongoing payments, and highlighted the limited, non-injury nature of the traffic incident underlying the new case. After presenting this mitigation and pushing for alternatives to revocation, the motion was dismissed.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Denton County, None

Allegations

On a dark stretch with no shoulder, an officer lit up behind the client. The driver slowed, signaled, turned on hazard lights, and continued at normal speed for about a mile to find a safe place to stop, then was arrested for felony evading in a vehicle. We got involved quickly, documented the stop context, and engaged the intake prosecutor before any indictment. We showed the driving was cautious, not evasive, and that the elements were not met. The DA declined prosecution, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A felony charge arose after a late-night hotel meet up that involved alcohol and several acquaintances. We obtained full discovery, including surveillance timestamps showing the client was in the room only briefly, and medical records that noted no documented injuries. We compiled major inconsistencies between the complainant’s initial account and later interviews, and highlighted timeline problems. We also reviewed the lab’s DNA materials and identified points to challenge in the documentation. After we prepared to bring these evidentiary issues to a hearing, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the state filed a motion to revoke after alleging new law violations. We moved quickly to gather the probation file, UA history showing no failed tests, employment verification, a recent substance use evaluation, and character letters. We opened negotiations, made clear we were ready for a contested hearing, and delivered a thorough mitigation package to the prosecutor. In light of the client’s documented compliance and rehabilitation efforts, the state dismissed the motion and the revocation case was closed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

After a new misdemeanor traffic arrest, probation filed to revoke the client’s prior deferred cases. We stepped in immediately, coordinated a safe surrender and bond, and opened direct discussions with supervision and the prosecutor. We compiled proof of his overall compliance, including completed service and substantial progress on required terms, and laid out mitigating context from the stop. We emphasized that this was not a pattern of defiance and proposed a path forward without adjudication. The state dismissed the revocation proceedings.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication for a felony family violence case when the state filed a motion to revoke, alleging a new arrest in another county, a no-contact violation, and several months of unpaid fees. We obtained records showing the other county declined to prosecute the new case and used that to remove the most serious allegation. We compiled proof of program compliance, clarified the drug testing issue, and proposed a concrete plan to cure arrears. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to continue the client on deferred probation instead of adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Already on deferred adjudication for a felony family-violence case, the client was served with a revocation after a disputed new arrest in another county, missed payments, and alleged contact violations. We obtained the revocation filing, verified the other county had declined to prosecute and secured proof of a non-prosecution to clear lingering warrant issues. We used that to push the State to remove the new-offense allegation and focus on arrears. After negotiating a compliance plan, the court kept the client on deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 283rd Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a drug case when a violation was filed alleging a falsified urine test, diluted sample, alcohol use, and missed requirements. The individual maintained they had completed service hours and recovery meetings and provided supporting logs and receipts. We gathered that documentation, secured proof of counseling participation, and immediately arranged enrollment in intensive outpatient treatment with drug patch monitoring. We engaged the prosecutor and probation to withdraw the warrant and continue the case on deferred probation with modified terms.

Charge

Possession of THC (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Rockwall County, None

Allegations

A traffic stop for an equipment issue led to a consent search and the discovery of THC edibles the state weighed into the second-degree range. With no prior history, the client came to us early. We pulled the dash and body cams, the report, and the lab paperwork, then dug into the basis for the stop, the voluntariness and scope of any consent, and the accuracy of the weight attribution. We also compiled mitigation, including clean drug screens and documentation of school and work, to show this was an isolated lapse. After we pressed these issues and made clear we were prepared to litigate suppression, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 4

Allegations

A felony motion to revoke probation was filed after a new arrest and an alleged failure to report shortly after the client was placed on supervision. We obtained the probation file, docket notes, and booking records, built a clear timeline, and showed that supervision had not yet begun and the allegations were premature or unsupported. We engaged with the prosecutor and probation, addressed the administrative concerns, and pressed the evidentiary gaps. The State withdrew the motion and the case was dismissed, keeping the client out of custody.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Request for Assistance

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to police involvement after a neighbor called 911. During the dispute, the client briefly took the other party’s flip phone and it broke, which triggered an interference charge. We obtained the 911 audio and call logs showing the emergency call was actually placed by a third party and not impeded. Bodycam and statements supported the timeline that the client had already left to deescalate and no request for aid was blocked. We also noted the complaining witness did not wish to pursue the matter. The prosecution dismissed the case.
