Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Allegations

The client faced a felony motion to revoke probation after alleged supervision violations were reported. We secured the probation file and supporting materials, then evaluated each allegation against the documented terms and compliance. We identified gaps in the proof and challenged whether the State could meet its burden at a contested hearing. After presenting these issues and signaling readiness to proceed, the prosecution agreed to dismiss the motion. The client remained on supervision without new penalties.

Our client was accused of unlawful carrying of a weapon after an encounter with police. We obtained the evidence, reviewed the reports and available recordings, and analyzed whether the officers had a lawful basis to detain our client and seize the firearm.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC2

Allegations

The client was parked on the roadside with a flat tire when an officer pulled in to check on the situation. During the contact, police found a handgun in the vehicle and filed an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge. We scrutinized the reports and video and challenged the basis for the detention and seizure, emphasizing the vehicle was disabled, the engine was off, and the client was already stationary. At a probable cause hearing, the court agreed there was no lawful basis to proceed. The prosecution dismissed the case, and we moved to have the seized firearm returned.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Harris County, C486

Allegations

Stopped for a traffic violation, the client continued driving briefly to find a safe spot to pull over and was booked for evading in a vehicle. Our team stepped in early, obtained discovery, and reconstructed the timeline of the stop. We pressed the state on the requirement to prove intent to flee and presented the client's safety based reason for the short delay. With that context and our willingness to litigate the issue, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Harris County, Webster Municipal Court

Allegations

After a tense argument with an acquaintance spilled into a public area, our client was struck and fell, injuring his leg. He briefly restrained the other person while yelling for it to stop when officers arrived to the commotion and cited him for disorderly conduct. We obtained the reports and highlighted that he raised open hands, was the one injured, and acted to prevent further violence. We challenged whether his conduct met the elements of a public disturbance and pressed the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Harris County, Webster Municipal Court

Allegations

After spending time at a residence, our client accepted a ride from an acquaintance. Directions went awry, tempers flared, and the client exited the car to avoid further conflict. The other person struck first, causing the client to fall and twist an ankle. When officers arrived, the client was upset and loud, and both individuals were cited for public intoxication. We emphasized that our client tried to disengage, was injured, and had no prior record. Using those facts, we negotiated deferred probation to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

The case arose after a traffic incident that sent our client to a medical facility, where officers later tried to take him into custody. In the confusion that followed, police reported that he did not immediately comply with commands, leading to a resisting or evading charge. We dug into the incident timeline and arrest paperwork to contextualize his behavior and presented mitigating factors tied to his post-incident condition. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to a straight probation offer, sparing additional jail time.
