Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Harris County, CC7

Allegations

The charge arose from a dispute at a grocery pickup where an employee alleged the client shoved them and claimed minor injury. The case resurfaced years later, and we demanded every piece of evidence. We reviewed bodycam, pushed for the 911 audio and the purported injury photos, and probed whether any store video actually existed. The proof did not line up with the claim, and the age of the case created credibility problems. We leveraged those issues to negotiate a brief online class. After completion, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL3

Allegations

After a late-night red light stop, the officer saw alcohol in the vehicle, the client admitted drinking earlier, and declined field sobriety tests. A warrant was obtained and blood was drawn at the jail about one to two hours later, returning a BAC over .12. We obtained and reviewed the dash and bodycam, scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and timing, and assembled mitigation explaining the personal crisis that day. The client completed a DWI education course and we gathered strong character letters. After hard negotiations, the state agreed to probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CCL11

Allegations

After a night at a restaurant, the client crashed a vehicle, airbags deployed, and officers arrived to find him disoriented. He submitted a breath sample that registered over .15 and was charged accordingly. We moved quickly to press for full discovery and built a mitigation package with character support, then sought a diversion option. When the prosecutor declined, we used those materials and the accident context to negotiate terms. The client accepted a plea to straight probation, avoiding jail and stabilizing the case.

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

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

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Harris County, Baytown Municipal Court

Allegations

The case arose from a dispute in a parking area when a partner’s relative entered the client’s car, put a hand in the client’s face, and a struggle followed. The client reported being bitten and having hair pulled, then called 911. Officers documented injuries but cited both parties for Class C assault. We told the client not to pay the ticket, gathered the client’s photos, reviewed police discovery, and lined up the partner as a witness, arguing self defense. After we pushed the matter toward a trial setting and presented these issues to the prosecutor, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 351st DC

Allegations

The client was stopped near home for an expired registration and arrested for a third DWI. They declined roadside testing and a breath sample, and officers later drew blood under a warrant hours after the stop. We obtained the dash and bodycam videos, the warrant affidavit, and the full lab file, highlighting the delayed draw, the absence of standardized field tests beyond an eye check, and the circumstances of the stop. We used those weaknesses in negotiations while preparing to litigate suppression issues. The case resolved with straight felony probation, avoiding prison time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL12

Allegations

Police responded to a report of a vehicle swerving and made a traffic stop. The driver declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant after a trip to a medical facility. We obtained the video, the full blood lab records, and medical documentation showing health issues that helped explain several observations and the delay to the draw. We also addressed license issues so the client could keep working during the case. After pressing these weaknesses with the DA, we negotiated straight probation with no jail.

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

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

Continuous Violence Against the Family

Location

Harris County, 184th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of multiple acts of family violence over a short period. After being attached to the case, we secured the reports and dug into the evidence. The complainant’s versions shifted between the initial report and later statements, the affidavit even listed the wrong date of birth, and messages showed ongoing contact and cohabitation after the alleged events. We compiled these credibility problems into a grand jury packet and pressed the State. Faced with the inconsistencies and weak proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.
