Criminal Defense Case Results in Milam, TX

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Milam County, County Court at Law

Allegations

During a traffic stop, our client was arrested and officers later reported finding a handgun in the vehicle. No weapons charge was filed that night; days later a warrant issued for unlawful carrying. When the car was released from impound, the firearm had been left inside and collected only afterward. We obtained the reports, video, and tow records, highlighting the delayed charge, mishandled evidence, and gaps in custody. After we challenged the legal basis and prepared suppression filings, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Milam County, COUNTY COURT

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a shared residence escalated when extended family showed up and chaos followed. The complainant alleged our client assaulted her and caused bruising, but he reported only using his body to block her from breaking property and that she struck him during the incident. Responding officers took limited statements and did little evidence collection at the scene. We requested the referenced cellphone recordings, dissected the reports, and mapped what evidence actually existed. After we emphasized the gaps and lack of corroboration for an intentional assault, the state dismissed the case.

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic disturbance after relatives reported the client was intoxicated and throwing furniture inside a residence. The client was arrested for family violence based on statements taken at the scene. Our team engaged early, confirmed there were no prior incidents, and maintained respectful communication with the complaining witness. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor with context about the episode. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Milam County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a disturbance at a residence, and our client was arrested after officers forced him to the ground during the encounter. He was highly intoxicated and remembered little. We obtained the police reports and parsed the arrest timeline, focusing on whether the state could prove he intentionally resisted given his condition and the chaotic scene. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.
