Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas, TX

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

Officers responded to reports of shots in a secluded industrial area and stopped a car as it was exiting private property marked with a sign at the entrance. Our client said they did not realize the land was restricted and had already left when contacted. We obtained the police reports and focused on whether the state could prove knowing entry or remaining after receiving notice. With no prior record and weak proof of intent, we pressed 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 We obtained the file and discovered there was no active motion to revoke on record, only a previously withdrawn filing.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

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 We audited the file and discovered the revocation attempt relied on a prior motion that had already been withdrawn when probation was amended.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

Deadly Conduct - Misdemeanor

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

Our client was arrested after an alleged deadly conduct incident and taken into custody alongside a relative, confused about why charges were being filed. A family member reached out and we got involved immediately, coordinating communications from the jail and requesting the full reports and evidence. Our review showed significant gaps in the state's proof tying the alleged reckless conduct to our client. We pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate if necessary. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was cited for public intoxication after a brief street encounter in a busy area. The officer noted general signs of intoxication, but the narrative did not show that the client posed a danger to anyone or was unable to care for themself, which the law requires. We dissected the report, documented the gaps, and made clear we were prepared to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence at trial. After firm negotiations supported by our analysis, the prosecution dismissed the case.
