Charge

Racing on Highway

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Police accused our client of racing after two cars accelerated alongside each other. Officers stopped the other driver, but our client was not detained at the scene and was later charged. We demanded full discovery and pressed the state on how they intended to prove identification and the elements of racing without a traffic stop. While negotiating, we pushed for a pretrial intervention option instead of probation. After sustained pressure and evidence review, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 283rd Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony deferred probation when a violation warrant issued and he was arrested in a neighboring county under courtesy supervision. The State alleged he admitted during a polygraph to occasional alcohol and marijuana use and that he was discharged from a required counseling program after arriving smelling like marijuana. A high bond was set and transfer lagged. We pushed to get him before the court, met him in jail, and presented mitigation, fee compliance, and a plan to resume treatment. Prosecutors agreed to continue deferred probation with a brief extension, and he was released to finish it.

Charge

Deadly Conduct - Misdemeanor

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court of Appeals No. 2

Allegations

Our client was charged after a breakup spiraled into a roadside encounter where the client briefly displayed a handgun while trying to speak with a former partner. No shots were fired, the gun was not pointed, and there was no round chambered. Police arrived and made two counts based on two occupants in the other vehicle. We dissected the police report, emphasized the lack of an explicit threat, documented the client’s clean history and bond compliance, and provided photos and context of prior aggression. Faced with those proof issues and mitigation, the state dismissed the case.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client was picked up on a warrant and transferred back to the supervising county after multiple failed drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees were alleged. There were no new criminal charges. We got in immediately, met with the client and the supervision team, and presented mitigation showing a plan for treatment and compliance. We pressed negotiations with the prosecution to avoid an adjudication hearing. The State agreed to withdraw the revocation, continue deferred probation, impose a short jail sanction, extend the term, and require completion of an outpatient program and fees.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 7

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation from an older case when a motion to revoke was filed for missed fee payments and an unfinished education class. A warrant followed and the client was taken into custody. We obtained the probation file, verified the payment history, and documented confusion caused by a change in supervising officers. We then arranged for the client to complete the remaining class and make the required donation, compiled proof of compliance, and pushed the State to stand down. The court dismissed the motion.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Dallas County, City of Farmers Branch Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was detained roadside after a traffic crash, where officers observed vomiting and unsteadiness and made a public intoxication arrest. We obtained the reports and focused on the facts that the client was a passenger, their presence on the roadside resulted from the collision, and the nausea and disorientation could be explained by the impact and shock. We questioned whether the state could prove danger to self or others and signaled readiness for trial. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon compliance.

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

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.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

Already on felony probation for a DWI, the client was taken into custody at a probation visit after a motion to revoke alleged missed treatment classes and problems with the ignition interlock. We obtained the violation packet, verified upcoming class enrollments and payments, and compiled mitigation about steady work and family support. We proposed a concrete compliance plan that included substance abuse treatment and continuous alcohol monitoring. After sustained negotiations with the prosecutor and probation, the court chose not to revoke. The client was continued on deferred probation with tighter conditions.
