Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

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

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

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

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.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Harris County, Seabrook Municipal Court

Allegations

Our client received a Class C disorderly conduct citation after a scuffle as a large group was leaving a boat outing. The client reported being attacked and was evaluated by EMS and at a hospital. We obtained the case file, police report, bodycam, and the 911 recording, and secured statements from the client’s companion and an independent member of the other group confirming the client was assaulted. The narratives conflicted and the alleged aggressor fled. We presented the contradictions and injury documentation to the prosecutor. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

Police responded to reports of shots fired and converged on a vehicle at a gas station. With the driver's consent they searched and found a handgun under the driver’s seat, arresting our client for unlawful carrying. The car had multiple occupants and the firearm was not claimed by our client. We pressed the State on proof of knowing possession and kept our client from making further statements when detectives later tried to question him. We negotiated a path to dismissal that required a short class, community service, and forfeiture of the seized gun. After fulfilling those terms, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CCCL3

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a vehicle during a roadside welfare check. During the investigation, they reported recovering a handgun from inside the car and filed a UCW charge. We obtained the police reports and discovery and rebuilt the timeline of the detention, focusing on why officers opened compartments and how the firearm was located. We challenged the legal basis for the search and whether the facts actually satisfied each element of the offense. After presenting these problems and signaling we were ready to litigate suppression, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon in a Prohibited Place

Location

Harris County, CCL6

Allegations

The client was swept up with a group in a public area when officers detained everyone and alleged unlawful carrying in a prohibited place. The client consistently stated they never possessed a firearm. We obtained the offense report and intake materials and highlighted the absence of individualized probable cause, no evidence linking any weapon to our client, and failure to establish the prohibited-place element. After we pressed these deficiencies with the prosecutor, intake found no probable cause and the case was dismissed.
