Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony and was arrested on a probation warrant after being stopped in another county. The alleged violations included multiple positive drug tests, missed reporting, and unpaid fees, but there were no new charges. We moved quickly to meet with probation and the prosecutor, laid out a concrete plan to complete treatment and bring payments current, and pushed back against revocation. The state withdrew the revocation and imposed a brief jail sanction with a short extension. The client remained on deferred probation.

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

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.

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

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.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Dallas County, 283rd Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of fleeing in a car after officers activated their lights during what began as a test drive. A prolonged pursuit followed, spike strips were deployed, and he eventually stopped. We pulled the pursuit and dashcam video and lined it up against the reports to examine when and why the stop was initiated. We also documented that the passenger urged him not to stop, no crashes or injuries occurred, and the client had no prior record. With that leverage, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Dallas County, 291st Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested on a warrant after a former partner alleged he and another person pounded on her door, pointing to home security video. We got involved early and reviewed multiple phone recordings between the parties. Those recordings revealed shifting accounts and credibility problems in the complainant’s story. We built a clear timeline and presented the inconsistencies to the prosecutor. With no prior record and substantial proof issues, the state rejected the case before indictment, and it was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 6

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor deferred probation when the state filed a revocation, citing a new arrest in another county, unpaid fees, a positive test early in supervision, missed testing, and incomplete service hours. We pulled receipts, program certificates, and a run of clean UAs that followed the first month. We also documented that a missed setting stemmed from a court closure and that the outside arrest remained unfiled. After meeting with the prosecutor and pressing those issues, the state scaled back the allegations and kept our client on probation under lighter terms. Charges reduced.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon in a Prohibited Place

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 8

Allegations

The client went to a medical facility for an appointment with a holstered handgun forgotten in a backpack. When a security screener flagged the bag, she immediately disclosed the firearm and tried to return to her car. Staff refused to let her leave and took the bag, even as other visitors with prohibited items were told simply to remove them. We gathered records and statements showing she self reported, tried to comply, and that enforcement was inconsistent. After sustained pressure on those flaws, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Tobacco

Location

Dallas County, Grand Prairie Municipal Court

Allegations

During a stop for a minor equipment issue, an officer saw a nicotine vape and escalated the encounter. The officer opened the door, removed our client, conducted a pat-down, and asked for consent to search. When consent was refused, the officer claimed the ability to arrest for a tobacco product possessed by a minor and proceeded to search anyway. We obtained the reports and video, and challenged the legal basis for extending the stop, the frisk, and any search tied to a simple tobacco citation. After we pressed these issues with the prosecutor, the tobacco charge was dismissed.
