Criminal Defense Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

While on deferred misdemeanor probation, the state moved to revoke based on an alleged protective order violation and positive drug screens. We obtained the physician’s letter and email trail confirming a valid prescription for the medication that caused the positives and showed how the paperwork failed to make it into the probation file. We also parsed the order’s language and the single, non‑threatening message sent to a relative of the complainant. After we presented these issues and pushed the state, the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after sending a brief social media message to a relative of the protected person, checking on her wellbeing. We obtained the order and the actual screenshots, then closely analyzed the order’s language and scope. The message contained no threats or harassment and was not directed to the complainant, and the order’s no‑contact terms were inconsistent about relatives and attorney‑only contact. We presented these defects and signaled readiness to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Our client was stopped after a citizen report of erratic driving. The officer found an open container, no roadside tests were conducted, and a blood draw was taken later under a warrant. We pulled the 911 audio, dash and body cam video, and the warrant packet, then scrutinized whether the stop was independently supported and whether the delayed blood sample was properly handled. We pressed the state on those issues and the chain of custody. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the court imposed a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police responded to reports of gunfire in a secluded area and found our client seated in a parked vehicle beyond a barricade. The car was not running, and he cooperated, acknowledging a firearm was inside. He declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was obtained later under a warrant after a delay. With an old out-of-state DUI, prosecutors filed a second-offense DWI. We challenged proof of operation and the timing of the blood draw, and the State reduced the DWI, resolving the case with time served.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers responded to a report of gunfire and found our client sitting in a parked vehicle on a dead end road. He was cooperative and told them a pistol was on the passenger floorboard, and no other contraband was alleged. We obtained the reports and body‑cam, documented that the recovery occurred from a stationary vehicle off the roadway, and flagged inconsistencies in how the carry was described. We pressed the State on whether they could prove each element beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution dismissed the UCW charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Prior Conviction)

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

Responders were called after a domestic argument. Our client had phoned for medical help after being struck with a phone, suffering a bleeding head wound, yet he was arrested for felony family-violence assault based largely on a brief statement from a child and his prior history. We obtained medical records documenting his injury, noted that the complainant declined to give a statement, and advanced a clear self-defense theory. We dissected the timeline, exposed credibility gaps, and presented strong mitigation. Faced with these issues and our readiness for trial, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

After a roadside encounter escalated, our client was charged with assault causing bodily injury. The complainant told police he had been forced off the road and later claimed additional injuries. We obtained the police report, 911 audio, and bodycam, and lined those up with our client’s photos and witness accounts to show a brief mutual fight, not a one-sided attack. We also pressed the state on the absence of reliable medical proof for the more serious injury. Confronted with credibility and proof problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to a time served resolution.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The client was stopped after slowing at an intersection and making a wide right turn, then arrested for DWI. He admitted to a single drink at a bar, performed field tests, and blew a high score on a roadside device seconds after removing oral tobacco. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the thin basis for the stop, and highlighted reliability issues with the breath test while scrutinizing the blood draw. Diversion was denied due to the reported BAC, so we pressed negotiations and secured deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and setting the case up for dismissal upon completion.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 9th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a dispute with a dating partner outside her workplace. She told officers he grabbed her arm and that a gun might be present, while he made statements about self harm. We obtained body camera and nearby video, and reviewed her statement noting he had never threatened her with the gun. We emphasized that no evidence showed brandishing or an intent to harm her, only himself. After sustained negotiations focused on accountability and treatment, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

An online post led our client to arrange a hotel meet for sexual services, but the contact was an undercover officer. After a brief exchange and payment, officers entered as part of a sting and arrested multiple individuals. The client had no prior history. We stepped in early, demanded the full set of messages and reports, and positioned the case with proactive mitigation, including decision-making courses and character letters. Combined with persistent negotiations, that work secured deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After leaving a residence following an argument, the client had drinks and was later stopped for rolling past the stop line, with an officer also claiming a curb strike. The client provided two breath samples around .26. We obtained patrol videos, noted the arresting officer was being coached during field tests, and raised concerns about missing media from the client’s dashcam and the vehicle inventory. Leveraging these credibility and procedure issues, we pressed negotiations and the charge was reduced, resulting in straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash with the client’s car totaled and no other vehicles involved. The client reported no significant injuries, declined EMS transport, performed field sobriety tests, and was then taken to a hospital for a consensual blood draw. Officers noted an open container, and the client acknowledged drinking. We obtained the reports and video, challenged how the tests were conducted after a collision, and closely reviewed the consent advisement and blood handling. We leveraged those concerns in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and accepted a plea with credit for time already served.
