Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Deadly Conduct (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 232nd DC

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a round discharged inside a residence while attempting to clear a firearm. The shot traveled into the floor and no one was injured. We engaged early, collected the available reports, and spoke with witnesses to confirm it was an accidental discharge and that the client immediately checked on neighbors. We emphasized the lack of intent and actual danger, using the downward trajectory and consistent statements to undermine the allegation of recklessness. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

After a minor collision in heavy traffic, officers responded and, after a passenger from the other vehicle raised intoxication, shifted into a DWI investigation. The client performed field tests and provided a breath sample registering over .15. We analyzed the dash and body cam videos, the breath-testing records, and the timeline of the call that brought police to the scene. The footage showed officers did not initially treat it as a DWI until prompted, which we used to attack the enhancement. Facing those issues, prosecutors reduced the charge and agreed to a time served outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC4

Allegations

The client was stopped moments after leaving a bar when an officer said the driver nearly hit his unit during a left turn. Two brand-new officers, under a supervisor’s eye, ran an extended battery of field sobriety tests and arrested the client, who later blew about 0.14 at the station. We pulled bodycam, dashcam, and reports, and challenged the stop and the manner the tests were performed by the trainees. Using those weaknesses at negotiation, we secured a reduced charge with a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CCL5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for suspected impairment, the client performed roadside tests and later provided a breath sample over 0.15. We obtained the video and breath-test records, analyzed how the field tests were administered, and flagged reliability issues. When pretrial monitoring showed an alcohol reading tied to cold medicine and a missed retest, we documented the explanation and pushed to replace the ankle monitor with an ignition interlock. Leveraging those points and mitigation, we negotiated a reduction with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC3

Allegations

Stopped moments after leaving a venue, our client was arrested for DWI. He gave a breath sample, then officers drew blood at the jail despite him not consenting. When the lab later reported a borderline 0.08, prosecutors floated a combined-intoxication theory even though no drug recognition exam was done. We pressed for the dash and body camera video and the full lab file, dissected the basis for the stop, and challenged the reliability and handling of the blood and toxicology. Faced with a weak stop, a rising BAC timeline, and shaky evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL5

Allegations

The case began after a traffic incident that led to a stop and arrest for a second DWI. Reports cited bloodshot eyes and balance issues, but the bodycam showed mostly subjective observations, and the timeline of field testing was unclear. We obtained and dissected the videos and paperwork, flagged those evidentiary gaps, and kept pressure on the state. At the same time, we guided the client through strict bond conditions, alcohol monitoring, and clean tests while addressing license compliance. Leveraging both the issues and the client’s progress, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

Intoxication Assault

Location

Harris County, 482nd DC

Allegations

After a night out, the client was involved in a roadside crash that injured another person and was charged with intoxication assault. They were treated for injuries and a hospital blood draw later reported a result around 0.13. Our team obtained and reviewed extensive dashcam and bodycam footage, crash documentation, and medical records to reconstruct the event. We compiled a strong mitigation package with AA attendance logs, character letters, employment proof, and clean bond compliance. After sustained negotiations and punishment-hearing prep, the court granted probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

Stopped late at night for alleged speeding, the client was arrested for a first-time DWI after roadside tests and a refused breath test led to a blood draw by warrant about an hour later. We reviewed the video and reports, scrutinized how the field tests were instructed and the basis for the stop, and challenged the timing and handling of the blood evidence. We also filed the ALR request to protect the license while the case moved forward. With mitigation and pressure on the weaknesses, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding jail time.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL2

Allegations

The case began when the client’s vehicle became disabled off the roadway and officers stopped to investigate. The client acknowledged earlier drinking and consented to a hospital blood draw, which later came back high. We reviewed bodycam and 911 evidence, flagged problems with how the field tests were instructed, and emphasized the timing gap between any driving and the blood draw. We also requested full lab documentation and chain of custody. After making clear we were ready for trial, the state removed the enhancement and agreed to a reduced first offense disposition with time served following brief alcohol classes.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CC7

Allegations

Stopped for speeding on a toll road, the client performed roadside tests and was arrested after officers reported signs of intoxication. A breath test at the jail read well over .15, and dash/body-cam captured the stop, the field exercises, and statements. We obtained and reviewed all video and testing records, pressed on how the stop unfolded and how the tests were administered, and assembled strong mitigation, including documented treatment efforts. Leveraging those issues and mitigation, we negotiated a reduction and a disposition for credit for time already served.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Harris County, 482nd DC

Allegations

The case stemmed from a roadside crash where a patrol unit was struck during a traffic stop, and the officer reported injuries. We pulled every video available, requested crash and medical records, and scrutinized what actually caused the contact, including whether warning lights and positioning created a hazard. In parallel we assembled a deep mitigation package, documenting months of AA attendance, steady employment, and character letters. After extensive witness prep and negotiations, the court granted straight probation.

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.
