Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute that led to an arrest for family violence. We immediately gathered the client’s texts, call logs, and location records, and secured a witness who confirmed the other party initiated contact and escalated the situation. We compiled these materials to highlight credibility problems and context missing from the initial report. After pressing these issues with the prosecution, the State agreed to reduce the charge. The matter was resolved with a sentence of time served, and no additional jail time was imposed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 230th DC

Allegations

The state moved to revoke a felony deferred case alleging two municipal tickets, missed probation contacts, a positive UA, and unpaid fees. We moved quickly to secure a walk-through bond to avoid custody, obtained the full probation file, and dissected each allegation against the records. We ensured the municipal tickets were not pled and remained unproven, showed that nearly all classes had been completed and one had never been assigned, and presented substantial mitigation about the client’s situation. Facing weak proof and strong mitigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after the complainant reported messages and claimed the client drove past a residence. Our team got involved immediately, coordinated a safe court appearance on the warrant, and gathered digital records. We compiled text threads showing the complainant initiated contact, phone and location data confirming the client was elsewhere, and a witness to the threatening call. We presented these inconsistencies and the lack of proof of prohibited contact to the prosecutor. With key facts undermined, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Harris County, 488th DC

Allegations

After a low speed contact with a pedestrian near a crosswalk, police opened a failure to stop case. The client stopped at once, apologized, and tried to check on the person, who stayed on the phone, refused to engage, took a photo of the plate, and walked away before later reporting an injury. We stepped in early, halted further questioning, and gathered scene photos and a witness confirming the client repeatedly offered help. We showed prosecutors the evidence that aid was offered and declined. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Harris County

Allegations

Police opened an investigation after our client intervened when a family member was being robbed by two armed individuals. One suspect fired first, our client returned fire, disarmed the shooter, called 911, and provided medical aid. We stepped in immediately, routed all contact through counsel, and advised no further statements beyond the initial limited account. We gathered witness statements and home‑security audio confirming the opposing shots came first, and documented multiple weapons recovered. We challenged inconsistencies in the initial narrative and emphasized defense of another. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

A motion to revoke alleged absconding after missed probation visits caused by housing and transportation issues. The client had no new charges and had resumed reporting before being arrested on the warrant. We entered the case and gathered proof of a verified job offer, clean drug tests, class attendance, mental health intake, and emails showing ongoing contact with supervision. We secured a bond modification so the client could work. The court kept the case on deferred adjudication rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Insurance Fraud (State Jail Felony)

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

The case began after the client reported a vehicle missing and later learned it had been found burned, prompting a fraud investigation. Detectives said he gave inconsistent information about where the car was left and pointed to an insurance claim as evidence of intent. We stepped in, instructed him to stop speaking with investigators, coordinated a walkthrough surrender, and collected bank and phone records he had already provided. We also compiled medical records documenting recent blackouts and PTSD, and proof he kept paying on the car and was not seeking a payout. Using that package to undercut motive and intent, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Credit Card Abuse (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 230th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of using a passenger’s credit card after a rideshare trip, based on a missing wallet report, transaction records, and video from a fast food counter. We obtained and dissected the discovery, pulling transaction logs, platform records, and surveillance clips, and tested the timeline against what the reports claimed. We flagged gaps linking the person on video to our client and emphasized the age of the allegations. We pressed the state to produce the complaining witness and properly authenticate the footage. When they could not, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, Court 8

Allegations

Our client was charged after a volatile domestic dispute at an apartment lot where two others fought and firearms were displayed. Police arrived after the fray and arrested the client based on the complainant’s account claiming a punch. We pulled bodycam, texts and follow up interviews, which revealed conflicting stories about who did what and officer uncertainty that appeared driven by custody concerns more than evidence. We identified credibility gaps and a third party witness supporting our client. The state proposed deferred probation, we prepared for trial instead. Faced with the weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Arson

Location

Harris County, 184th District Court

Allegations

After the client moved a vehicle off an apartment lot, it was later found burned and impounded. Detectives suspected the client set the fire, citing video of the client driving away and lifting the hood. We stepped in during the investigation, cut off further questioning, and opened a dialogue with the investigator. Our team compiled phone logs, bank statements, and insurance records showing no effort to profit, along with medical documentation to explain memory gaps. We pressed weaknesses in motive and timeline and negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Harris County, \u200bCC6

Allegations

Loss prevention at a retail store detained our client for unpaid, low-dollar items, and officers issued a citation instead of booking them. We pulled the police report and citation paperwork and scrutinized the store's account of events. Our team raised concerns about valuation and intent based on the documentation. We also compiled mitigation, including proof of treatment plans and educational commitments, to humanize the situation. After targeted discussions with the prosecutor, the state agreed that pursuing the case was not warranted and dismissed it.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC11

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding and arrested for DWI after an officer reported signs of intoxication and saw a liquor bottle in the vehicle. He declined roadside tests and later consented to a blood draw. We obtained the dash and bodycam recordings and found the primary officer’s camera captured audio only, limiting visual proof of impairment. We compiled mitigation and leveraged those evidentiary gaps in negotiations. After weighing options that would have required an interlock, the state agreed to reduce the charge and resolve it for time served, with no additional jail.
