Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

The client was confronted in a bar restroom after an officer reported seeing a handoff of a small bag to another person. The client tried to dispose of it in the toilet, but officers recovered a few grams of suspected contraband.

Leveraging those concerns in negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Assault on a Peace Officer

Location

Harris County, 338th DC

Police alleged that during an encounter in a bar restroom, our client struck an officer with a shoulder and caused injury. The accusation followed officers moving in after observing suspected contraband and attempting to detain the client. We obtained the reports and evidence, dissected the sequence of events, and emphasized that any contact was incidental, not intentional. We also challenged whether there was documented bodily injury sufficient to meet the statute. Facing these proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Brazoria County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped for allegedly failing to maintain a single lane and arrested after roadside tests and a breath result reported over .15. We reviewed body camera video and noted the stop followed brief drifting with no other cars nearby, and that tests were given despite a disclosed knee issue. We scrutinized the breath testing procedure and operator certification. Paired with proof of sustained sobriety and treatment, we pressed these points with the prosecutor. The case resolved as a first offense level with straight probation, avoiding jail time.
