Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

The case arose from a disputed custody exchange at a home where the complainant alleged our client threw a diaper bag and small plastic toys, causing minimal contact. The arrest that followed led to charges being filed in the wrong county, despite the police report and address tying the event to a different jurisdiction. We pulled the discovery, verified the location against county boundaries, and pressed the venue issue with the prosecutor. Confronted with the jurisdictional defect, the State dismissed the case.
