Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

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

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.

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

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 228th DC

Allegations

Our client was on misdemeanor DWI probation when a motion to revoke was filed, alleging a positive alcohol test, unapproved travel out of state, and a delay in obtaining an alcohol monitor. He was taken into custody at a probation visit with a disposition setting approaching. We moved quickly to obtain the revocation packet, confirm fines and service were complete, and show there were no new offenses. We documented device issues and miscommunication between supervision offices and that the term was nearly finished. After firm negotiations, the State reduced the allegations and the court accepted time served.

Charge

Speeding (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, Precinct 4, Place 1

Allegations

Our client received a Class C speeding ticket during a traffic stop, but the officer did not state the reason for the stop at the roadside and the citation appeared to be generated after the event. We filed our appearance, obtained the patrol video and citation records, and scrutinized the radar documentation and timestamps. The paperwork showed timing irregularities between the alleged speeding, the radar check, and when the ticket was issued. We raised those inconsistencies and challenged the basis for the citation. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 488th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of felony stalking tied to an ongoing custody dispute with a former partner. Communications were kept to a parenting app and scheduled child exchanges, which the client routinely recorded on a personal camera and phone. Our team moved to secure that digital evidence through a property release or motion, then organized the videos and message logs into a clear timeline. The recordings showed calm, brief exchanges and no unscheduled contact. After we presented this package to the prosecutor and challenged the allegation, the state dismissed the stalking case.

Charge

Bigamy

Location

Harris County, 488th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of bigamy based on a disputed relationship history. We built a clear timeline, reviewed messages and family-court materials, and documented that the other person had lived separately as a guest and that there was no second marriage paperwork or record. We highlighted inconsistencies in statements about dates and status that undercut the allegation. After a focused presentation to the prosecution outlining these proof problems and the absence of any valid marriage record, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

A traffic stop for a minor speeding issue led officers to start a DWI investigation and add an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge. During the arrest, they reported finding a handgun under the driver’s seat. Our client explained the firearm belonged to a family member who held a license to carry. We obtained the reports and video and scrutinized the basis for the stop, the scope of the search, and whether our client actually exercised possession of the gun while intoxicated. We highlighted gaps in proof of access and control and pointed out inconsistencies between the narrative and the footage. After firm negotiations and our notice that we were prepared to litigate suppression issues, the state dismissed the UCW case.
