Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 228th District Criminal Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication for a felony when a warrant issued on a motion to revoke alleging four missed reports, a missed drug test, failure to complete an evaluation, unpaid fees, and a program violation. He was picked up while attending classes. Retained just before a setting, we entered our appearance and secured a reset, then dug into the supervision file and the communications with probation. We emphasized the breakdowns in notice and that he was near the end of his term. After pushing those issues with the State, the motion was dismissed.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Harris County, CC11

Allegations

Police alleged our client left the scene after a minor collision that caused more than $200 in damage. We obtained the police reports and discovery and documented emails from the other party pressing for payment. We made clear that civil demands were separate from the criminal case and scrutinized whether the state could actually prove a failure to stop and exchange information. We compared those emails to the official reports and identified inconsistencies and gaps about what occurred after the crash. After we presented these issues and signaled we were prepared to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Harris County, 185th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of evading after patrol lights came on near an intersection. Rather than stop immediately, he turned right, obeyed the speed limit, used his signal, stopped at the next light, and continued a short distance to a familiar residence where he parked and complied. We broke down the timeline in the state’s materials and emphasized the lack of flight, dangerous driving, or refusal. With that context, we negotiated a resolution that avoided jail and resulted in probation.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Harris County, CC10

Allegations

After a minor collision, the other vehicle continued on and our client did not pursue. She promptly opened an insurance claim and provided a recorded statement. Weeks later she discovered a warrant based on an allegation she left without giving information and was arrested. We entered the case, requested discovery, and matched the police materials against the insurer’s records and timeline. We emphasized the immediate claim, lack of flight, and an officer’s later advice about reporting. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, CCL9

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, our client faced a motion to revoke based on a new arrest and an allegation of driving without a valid license. We obtained the revocation packet and discovery from the new case, which documented a 0.000 breath test and pending blood analysis. We challenged the grounds for revocation and highlighted the disputed license issue, along with evidence of recent compliance. After firm negotiations, the State reduced the allegations and agreed to resolve the case for time served, closing the matter without additional jail.

Charge

Criminal Mischief (Class C)

Location

Harris County, Baytown Municipal Court

Allegations

After an argument, the client was cited for Class C criminal mischief for damaging a door. We confirmed there was no arrest, gathered messages with the complainant, and secured proof the client had already paid to repair the damage by electronic transfer. We presented restitution and the context of the incident to the prosecutor and negotiated dismissal terms tied to completing a short online decision-making course. After the client finished the class and we submitted the certificate, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 488th DC

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for a prior DWI when a new citation for driving with a suspended license triggered a motion to revoke. We met the client at the hearing and dug into the license history, confirming an occupational license had been granted and the flagged suspension came from an older case. We presented that context to the prosecutor and challenged the basis for revocation. The court imposed a brief custodial sanction with no added terms or extension. The motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon in a Prohibited Place

Location

Harris County, CCL9

Allegations

Our client was stopped for a traffic matter and, after questioning, officers retrieved a handgun from the driver’s door pocket. Prosecutors filed Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon in a Prohibited Place based on the stop and the location. We secured the police reports and video, examined the legality of the detention, and dissected how the firearm was discovered. We also challenged whether the site qualified as a prohibited place under the statute. Faced with these issues and our readiness to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Harris County, CCL9

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop led to a reckless driving charge after officers alleged speeding, aggressive lane changes, and flashing headlights. The client completed field sobriety tests and was cleared of impairment, yet the state pursued reckless driving. We obtained the dashcam, bodycam, and report, scrutinizing the timeline from the alleged conduct to the stop and whether it met the statutory threshold. We pressed these weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Harris County, 178th DC

Allegations

Officers claimed the driver fled when a patrol car entered a parking area. The rider left, noticed a helicopter overhead, then pulled over on their own and spoke with police, who documented their info and let them go without arrest. Long after that, a warrant issued, apparently triggered by an edited video of the incident posted online. We obtained the complaint, lined up the timeline, and attacked the elements, including intent to evade and the video's reliability to suggest a separate offense. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Harris County, CC16

Allegations

The case arose from a heated neighbor dispute where the client was accused of breaking a window. He consistently denied causing any damage and cooperated with authorities. We obtained the police report, 911 audio, and body camera footage, then paired that with the client’s videos documenting repeated harassment and contradictions in the complainant’s account. After presenting those credibility issues and addressing any claimed damage through restitution, we made clear we were ready for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 487th DC

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony deferred after a disputed neighbor incident triggered a new case and an alleged no‑contact violation. We stepped in quickly, requested and reviewed police reports, 911 audio and bodycam, and gathered the client’s videos documenting ongoing harassment. We coordinated with probation, clarified compliance items and corrected assessment paperwork, and pressed the prosecution on credibility problems. The motion was resolved by continuing the client on deferred adjudication with adjusted terms, avoiding a felony conviction and incarceration.
