Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after the complainant reported messages and claimed the client drove past a residence. Our team got involved immediately, coordinated a safe court appearance on the warrant, and gathered digital records. We compiled text threads showing the complainant initiated contact, phone and location data confirming the client was elsewhere, and a witness to the threatening call. We presented these inconsistencies and the lack of proof of prohibited contact to the prosecutor. With key facts undermined, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 230th DC

Allegations

The state moved to revoke a felony deferred case alleging two municipal tickets, missed probation contacts, a positive UA, and unpaid fees. We moved quickly to secure a walk-through bond to avoid custody, obtained the full probation file, and dissected each allegation against the records. We ensured the municipal tickets were not pled and remained unproven, showed that nearly all classes had been completed and one had never been assigned, and presented substantial mitigation about the client’s situation. Facing weak proof and strong mitigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Harris County, 488th DC

Allegations

After a low speed contact with a pedestrian near a crosswalk, police opened a failure to stop case. The client stopped at once, apologized, and tried to check on the person, who stayed on the phone, refused to engage, took a photo of the plate, and walked away before later reporting an injury. We stepped in early, halted further questioning, and gathered scene photos and a witness confirming the client repeatedly offered help. We showed prosecutors the evidence that aid was offered and declined. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

A motion to revoke alleged absconding after missed probation visits caused by housing and transportation issues. The client had no new charges and had resumed reporting before being arrested on the warrant. We entered the case and gathered proof of a verified job offer, clean drug tests, class attendance, mental health intake, and emails showing ongoing contact with supervision. We secured a bond modification so the client could work. The court kept the case on deferred adjudication rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Arson

Location

Harris County, 184th District Court

Allegations

After the client moved a vehicle off an apartment lot, it was later found burned and impounded. Detectives suspected the client set the fire, citing video of the client driving away and lifting the hood. We stepped in during the investigation, cut off further questioning, and opened a dialogue with the investigator. Our team compiled phone logs, bank statements, and insurance records showing no effort to profit, along with medical documentation to explain memory gaps. We pressed weaknesses in motive and timeline and negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Insurance Fraud (State Jail Felony)

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

The case began after the client reported a vehicle missing and later learned it had been found burned, prompting a fraud investigation. Detectives said he gave inconsistent information about where the car was left and pointed to an insurance claim as evidence of intent. We stepped in, instructed him to stop speaking with investigators, coordinated a walkthrough surrender, and collected bank and phone records he had already provided. We also compiled medical records documenting recent blackouts and PTSD, and proof he kept paying on the car and was not seeking a payout. Using that package to undercut motive and intent, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Harris County, Court 8

Allegations

A traffic stop escalated after a caller reported erratic driving. Officers approached quickly, issued rapid commands, and used a Taser when the client hesitated before pulling into a lot. He was treated at a hospital and charged with interference for allegedly refusing orders. We obtained bodycam, dispatch audio, and reports to reconstruct the timeline and show confusion rather than intent to obstruct. Using those issues as leverage, we negotiated a probationary resolution the client could manage.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

Following a crash, the client was arrested and the vehicle was towed. During the post-arrest inventory, officers reported a loaded revolver in a door compartment, leading to a weapon charge. We obtained the bodycam and agency records tied to the tow and inventory, then mapped the timeline of the stop, arrest, and search. Inconsistencies surfaced about how and when the gun was found and whether it was actually accessible. We prepared suppression arguments and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Harris County, Houston Municipal Court 14

Allegations

After a crash, officers cited the individual for reckless driving based on an alleged wrong way maneuver. We pulled the citation and underlying reports and found the charge had been misclassified and filed in a court that lacked authority to hear that offense. We put those defects in front of the prosecutor, made clear we were prepared to litigate them, and pushed for a straight dismissal rather than a refile. The state agreed and dismissed the case, sparing the client fines, probation, and a record on the reckless charge.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon (Felony Conviction)

Location

Harris County, 209th DC

Allegations

Police alleged our client, a felon, unlawfully possessed a firearm after a late night dispute in a business parking lot. We pulled the surveillance footage and spoke with the witnesses. The video showed muzzle flashes but was dark, partially blocked by vehicles, and contained a recording gap, so it never clearly identified a gun in our client's hand. No firearm was recovered, and witness accounts were inconsistent and alcohol affected. We laid out the evidentiary holes to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 178th

Allegations

Our client was near the end of a long felony probation when a revocation motion issued, citing unpaid restitution and a missed drug test, and a warrant was activated. We pulled the judgment and supervision records, confirming the monthly restitution terms, years of consistent payments, and that the missed test was promptly made up with subsequent tests negative. We engaged the prosecutor and coordinated a controlled surrender so the matter could be addressed immediately. Confronted with the records, the state recognized the allegations could not be sustained. The motion was dismissed and the warrant recalled.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CCCL5

Allegations

The client was stopped for an expired registration. During the ensuing arrest, officers said they discovered a weapon in the vehicle and filed an unlawful carry charge. We pulled the reports and video, timed out the stop, and compared each step of the detention and search to what the officer wrote. That review exposed inconsistencies in how the search was justified and weak links tying the client to unlawful carry. We put a suppression challenge on the table and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the UCW.
