Criminal Defense Case Results in Kendall, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 498TH District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a reported crash noise and found our client parked with a flat tire and a cracked windshield. After field tests, an officer claimed the eye test showed signs of intoxication, despite conflicting lighting and instructions captured on video. The client consented to a blood draw taken hours later, and we uncovered problems with the timeline and blood kit documentation. We compiled bodycam footage, witness statements, and expert review to challenge reliability and leverage negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

Deputies were called to a truck stop after a 911 report that a recently repaired rig had just been moved by an intoxicated driver. Officers found our client near a food vendor, conducted roadside tests in a windy, uneven area, and later obtained breath samples showing an elevated result. We secured dispatch audio, video, and shop statements to challenge the timeline and whether the movement met the elements of operating on a public roadway. We also documented balance issues that undermined the field tests and noted procedural concerns about repeated breath attempts. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation with classes and compliance conditions, not jail. The client avoided a harsher sentence and can earn a favorable resolution by completing the program.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop, our client was a passenger when officers said they smelled marijuana and conducted a probable cause search. The client was detained in a patrol car and made no admissions. Officers reported finding marijuana on the vehicle floor, not on the client. We scrutinized the basis of the stop and detention, and highlighted constructive possession issues given the passenger status and lack of admissions. Leveraging those concerns, we secured pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Kendall County, None

Allegations

During a domestic dispute, the partner began filming, and the client reached for the phone. Responding officers later arrested the client for family violence based largely on the partner's initial account. We got involved immediately, requested the evidence, and documented the disputed facts and lack of intent to injure. We also informed the prosecutor that the complainant did not wish to proceed and highlighted the absence of corroborating proof. Facing these issues, the prosecution rejected the case and it was dismissed.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Kendall County, Boerne Municipal Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a welfare call and found our client asleep outside a business after drinking. He was not driving, had been dropped off by a companion, and had recently started a prescription that intensified the effects of alcohol. We compiled those facts, emphasized the non-driving, welfare-check context, and questioned whether the situation showed a danger to the public. After sustained discussions with the prosecutor, the state declined to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

After another motorist reported a minor scrape, our client was stopped and questioned about drinking. He admitted to a couple of beers earlier, performed roadside tests that appeared poor because of longstanding balance and back issues, and later registered about 0.10 on a breath test. We obtained dash and body camera footage and collected medical documentation, including GERD that can affect breath results and records of neurological and mobility problems. Using those weaknesses and mitigation, we negotiated deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Kendall County, None

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic argument at a home involving our client's child. The client reported he briefly grabbed the child's upper arms to stop him from leaving, the child stumbled and fell, and no intentional harm was inflicted. We obtained the reports and compared accounts over time, documenting significant inconsistencies about what allegedly occurred. We pushed for a hearing, challenged restrictive bond conditions, and pressed the State on proof issues. Faced with credibility problems, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony drug case when supervision alleged a positive test and missed community service. Probation pushed for 180 days in a sanction facility. We moved fast, filing a motion to review and modify conditions and assembling mitigation that included treatment evaluations, program options, and family support. We negotiated a treatment focused alternative, detailing an outpatient plan and clear compliance steps. The court accepted the plan, the client avoided the facility, and the case was resolved with deferred probation intact.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention in a Motor Vehicle

Location

Kendall County, DC451

Allegations

After buying a motorcycle, our client tested it on a highway and briefly accelerated alongside another driver. An officer lit up the other vehicle, and our client continued for a short distance believing the stop was not for him. A second unit used a spotlight but no lights or siren, and the client turned around and came to a stop when the bike stalled. We scrutinized the officers' reports and the sequence of events, emphasizing the unclear signals and the client's lack of intent to flee, and presented his clean record. With that leverage, we secured placement in pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

Police stopped a vehicle carrying our client and another person. The officer reported the odor of marijuana, recovered contraband from the other occupant, and our client then disclosed a small amount of heroin on their person, leading to a felony charge. We scrutinized the basis for the stop and search and how the admission was obtained, and pressed the state on proof of possession. We also compiled treatment records and other mitigation the client completed and asked for time to present it. After negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.
