Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

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

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Harris County, 179th DC

Allegations

Police alleged our client helped set up a robbery during a meeting in a private room while another person displayed a gun. We pushed for full discovery, including surveillance from a nearby business and recorded interviews, and demanded the criminal histories of key witnesses. The evidence showed credibility problems and that our client was not the person with a weapon. We assembled a mitigation package highlighting no prior record, family support, counseling plans, and a probation assessment. After sustained negotiations, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Harris County, 179th DC

Allegations

The client was arrested for felony possession after officers reported finding suspected drugs in a shared room with multiple people present. We scrutinized the reports and discovery, focusing on how the search started and whether officers had a lawful basis to search the area they claimed to sweep. We pressed the State to show a clear nexus between our client and the substance, noting the absence of exclusive control in a crowded setting. After we laid out these proof issues and prepared to litigate them, the prosecution 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.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 497th DC

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an alleged signal violation, our client was arrested for DWI with two prior convictions. Field sobriety tests were conducted on a narrow roadway where balance was an issue, the client declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a blood warrant. We reviewed dash and body camera footage, scrutinized the test instructions and the blood-draw and lab procedures, and used the license hearing to lock in the officer’s account. Coupled with AA documentation and character letters, we negotiated supervised probation focused on treatment, avoiding prison time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC10

Allegations

After leaving a bar, the client was stopped for an alleged license plate light issue. They reported having a few drinks over several hours and told the officer about mobility limitations before any roadside testing. Only an eye-tracking exercise was conducted, and the client voluntarily provided a blood sample. We obtained the dashcam, bodycam, police reports, and the complete lab packet. The blood result was 0.04, below the legal limit. Citing the low BAC and the limited roadside investigation, we pressed the state, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL10

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI. They declined roadside field sobriety tests, and a later breath test at the station registered below the legal limit. We pulled the bodycam and reports, which showed no standardized testing beyond an eye check performed after a collision, a context that undermines its value. We confronted the prosecution with the below-limit result and challenged their attempt to retroactively inflate BAC through extrapolation, making clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC10

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, the officer reported an odor of marijuana and saw a pipe in the vehicle. The client admitted recent use, blew 0.00 on two breath tests, and was taken to the station where field tests were done and blood was drawn. We obtained the video, reports, and lab materials and challenged the state’s ability to prove impairment while driving. We also moved the case into a first offender diversion track. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL12

Allegations

The client was stopped for an alleged unsafe lane change and arrested after the officer reported an odor of alcohol and conducted field sobriety tests in a parking lot. They admitted to a couple of drinks shortly before driving and later gave a station breath sample over .08. We pulled the dash and body cam and obtained breath-machine records, revealing a weak basis for the stop and steadier performance than described. The timeline also supported a rising BAC theory. Facing a suppression fight and our leverage, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Harris County, 482nd DC

Allegations

Police charged our client after a dispute at a residential complex, alleging he struck someone with a gun and pointed a weapon through a window. We obtained neighbor surveillance and officer bodycam video that showed repeated harassment of our client, damage to his car, no firearm, and only a brief mutual scuffle. We also interviewed nearby residents and logged incident numbers that undercut the complainants’ accounts and the physical layout, including a tinted window. After we presented those contradictions and evidentiary gaps to the prosecutor, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 263rd DC

Allegations

The client was stopped for suspected DWI after a traffic incident and was arrested following a blood draw reported at .145. With two prior DWIs, the case was filed as a felony and the stakes were high. While on bond, the client was accused of driving on a suspended license. We addressed the violation with a no driving affidavit and emphasized that alcohol monitoring showed no positives, preserving release. We reviewed the blood discovery, assembled mitigation, and completed the probation interview. The case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC11

Allegations

After a nighttime crash at an intersection, the client was accused of a second DWI. He reported being rear‑ended, yet the officer handcuffed him immediately, moved him away from the scene, and never properly conducted standardized field tests. A blood sample was taken later under a warrant, well after the time of driving. We pulled body and dash videos, the crash report, and the warrant affidavit, and documented inconsistencies in the probable cause narrative and test administration, along with dispute over fault for the crash. We presented these defects and signaled we would litigate them, and the State dismissed the case.
