Criminal Defense Case Results in Kendall, TX

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.
