Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

The client was accused of taking a handful of vehicle repair items from a retail store during a period of extreme hardship and a failing car. By the time we were retained, the case had been reset repeatedly without progress. We gathered the police and store reports, then built a mitigation package with documentation of housing instability, efforts to work and study, and a clean record. We pressed the prosecution on proportionality and the evidentiary value of the case while signaling readiness for trial. The State dismissed the charge.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Loss prevention at a large retail store stopped our client after a self checkout mishap involving small toiletries, and police issued a Class C theft citation. The client had paid for numerous items and left with a few low value products unscanned while distracted by a personal emergency. We entered the case, requested the store video and the officer’s body camera, and scrutinized the reports. We emphasized the lack of intent, the recovery of all merchandise, and the client’s clean history. After negotiations with the prosecutor, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving a retail store with unpaid merchandise valued under two hundred dollars. We moved quickly, obtained discovery, and scrutinized the incident narrative and the valuation of the items, preparing to challenge how the evidence established intent. We communicated those concerns to the prosecutor and kept steady pressure during negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser offense, a result that matched the limited value involved.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Tarrant County, North Richland Hills MC

Allegations

The client was cited for Class C theft after a store incident. They paid for certain items but left with a few low value goods still in a pocket, then were contacted by officers later. Our team moved quickly, secured the evidence, and emphasized the minimal loss and circumstances indicating an oversight rather than intent. We pressed for a resolution that did not require a plea. The State agreed to dismiss if the client finished an anti-theft class and remained arrest free for a short period. The client completed the steps, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

The case began when a check to a moving company did not clear after a relocation, and a misdemeanor theft charge was filed with a warrant. We stepped in immediately, obtained the evidence, and documented that this was a payment issue rather than an intentional taking. While arranging a noncustodial path to address the warrant, we opened discussions about restitution and pushed a detailed review of the elements, especially intent to deprive. After our presentation and negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Third-Degree or State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Police alleged our client committed felony theft after a dispute with a vehicle dealership following service work. We obtained the reports and the dealership’s records, including repair paperwork and communications about possession of the car. Our review showed it was a contractual business disagreement, not a crime, and the evidence did not establish an intent to permanently deprive. We compiled the paper trail and presented it to the prosecutor, pressing the civil nature of the matter. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Denton County, Colony Municipal Court

Allegations

Store personnel stopped the client after a self‑checkout incident and issued a Class C theft citation. When the client could not appear, a warrant followed. We engaged the prosecutor, obtained the evidence, and explained the client’s travel‑heavy work and medical limits that made community service impractical. Through focused negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication with a short term, an anti‑theft class, and standard fees, with no community service, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Collin County, McKinney Municipal Court

Allegations

Loss prevention at a retail store stopped the client after a price-tag switch on low-value merchandise and police issued a Class C theft citation. We entered the case, pulled the store video and reports, and made the record the priority. When the prosecutor would not dismiss outright, we front-loaded mitigation: the client completed an anti-theft class and community service, which we documented. Leveraging that, we negotiated deferred adjudication with a reduced term, a lowered fine, and no fingerprint/photo requirement, positioning the client to earn a dismissal by completing the short supervision.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2

Allegations

Loss prevention detained our client after a store incident and officers arrested them for misdemeanor theft. We obtained the evidence, including surveillance video and the police report, and scrutinized the valuation and the detention timeline. The state flagged an old theft case, so we addressed it directly and focused negotiations on accountability and rehabilitation. We had the client complete an anti theft class early and used that certificate in talks. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and no conviction.

Charge

Theft of Property (State Jail Felony)

Location

Dallas County, 292nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of felony theft for allegedly receiving unemployment benefits they were not entitled to, with the amount aggregated into the state jail range. After a missed setting led to a warrant, we had it recalled and the bond reinstated. We obtained discovery from the state agency and audited the benefits records and valuation. That review showed problems with eligibility determinations and uncertainty about the claimed loss. We used those issues to negotiate a reduction to a lower level offense with deferred probation.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor theft after an older work-issued laptop surfaced outside the workplace and an online listing mentioned a computer part allegedly tied to the same employer. We got involved early, opened dialogue with the investigator to manage any warrant issues, and compiled context showing the laptop was inadvertently packed with someone else’s belongings. We also challenged valuation, emphasizing the device’s age and minimal resale range. With weak proof of intent and questionable value, the State dismissed the case.
