Criminal Defense Case Results in Denton, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a no bond warrant issued alleging missed classes, unpaid fees, and multiple positive tests. We entered the case, obtained the motion and supervision records, and engaged both probation and the prosecutor. Our team compiled documentation of his work schedule and written correspondence showing he had asked for guidance on costs and scheduling, and we challenged how several violations were being counted. With a hearing approaching, we kept pressure on the State. The motion to revoke was dismissed and the client remained on probation with no new penalties.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The state alleged our client engaged in stalking through repeated calls, texts, and uninvited visits after a breakup. The client maintained there was a single attempt to return belongings and urged officers to look at a doorbell camera. We pulled the reports, 911 audio, phone logs, and any home‑camera data, then compared timelines to the allegations. We emphasized the lack of threats and the client’s immediate cessation of contact and sobriety efforts. Facing those issues, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge and offer deferred probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 462nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication when probation alleged violations for failed drug tests, unpaid restitution, and incomplete service and classes. We obtained the probation file, requested lab confirmations, and gathered records showing course completion and community service that had not been credited. The family paid the outstanding restitution in full. We pursued a bond and pressed the prosecutor and probation for a fair outcome based on the corrected record. With proof of compliance and payment, we negotiated to avoid a conviction. The court reinstated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

While on misdemeanor deferred probation, the client faced a motion to adjudicate after a new arrest, a positive hair test, unpaid fees, and delays starting treatment due to a work transfer. We compiled emails and records showing IOP was being arranged and that the transfer caused scheduling gaps, along with evidence of ongoing cooperation. We coordinated an appearance and contested the violations point by point. After negotiations, the prosecution kept the case on deferred adjudication with modified terms for treatment and payments. The client avoided a conviction and jail.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

After a breakup, police alleged our client made repeated calls, sent a message they viewed as threatening, and later appeared near the complainant’s home, leading to a felony stalking case. A missed court setting triggered a warrant and the client was taken into custody. We took over, negotiated an agreed bond for prompt release, and assembled mitigation: proof of employment, treatment compliance, a clean drug test, and completion of a thinking skills course. We challenged the felony overcharge and emphasized the age of the events. The State agreed to reduce the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a prior marijuana case when a failed drug test triggered a warrant. He was later booked in a neighboring county on a no bond hold tied to the probation matter. Our team moved quickly to file a motion to set bond and pressed for transfer so the case could be addressed. We then engaged the court and opposing side on the violation, focusing on context and a concrete plan to regain compliance. The result was deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

Officers alleged he trespassed after leaving yard waste on an open lot and issued a companion ticket. There were no posted signs or fencing marking the area. We compiled proof he had already paid a civil dumping assessment and highlighted the unclear property boundaries and lack of notice. We pressed the state on overcharging and limited culpability, focusing on quick acceptance of responsibility and cleanup costs. The charge was reduced and the matter resolved with credit for time served.

Charge

Duty on Striking Unattended Vehicle

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

Police alleged our client left the scene after striking a vehicle in a roadside construction area. The client reported that strong winds pushed the car while lanes merged and that only a cone was bumped, not a truck. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam, and reports and found no footage of any impact, plus inconsistencies between the worker’s account and what was conveyed during the stop. We compiled those issues, pressed the prosecutor, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #5

Allegations

While on misdemeanor DWI probation, our client moved out of state and was later cited there for a new DUI, prompting a motion to revoke. The client had since completed DWI education, a victim impact panel, treatment, community service, and paid all fees. We assembled the certificates, pulled the municipal case records from the other jurisdiction, and highlighted gaps in interstate reporting along with strong compliance. The State backed off its initial jail demand, and the court accepted deferred probation instead of revocation.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After a traffic collision, the client was accused of leaving the scene without providing information, with property damage alleged to exceed the statutory threshold. We obtained the reports and witness statements and dug into the timeline between the crash and the later contact by officers. The evidence to prove who was operating the vehicle at the moment of impact and whether the legal duty to exchange information was triggered had notable gaps. We laid out those weaknesses and prepared to contest them. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a nighttime crash with a minor riding in the vehicle. Officers later located the client nearby and alleged intoxication based on a blood draw and witness accounts. We dissected the reports and timeline, emphasized that the child was uninjured, and presented mitigation showing steady employment and compliance while the case was pending. Our team also audited custody records across multiple facilities, documenting substantial back-time credit. Faced with the mitigation and verified credits, the state agreed to reduce the charge and resolve it for time served.

Charge

Resisting Arrest

Location

Denton County, CCC5

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after a neighbor reported an argument. Officers noted signs of intoxication and moved to arrest our client, later adding resisting when he pulled his arms away during handcuffing. We obtained and reviewed the bodycam, which showed no active fighting, and compiled records of the client’s treatment and sobriety work since the incident. Using those materials in negotiations, we pushed the State to reconsider. The charge was reduced, and the client received credit for time already served.
