Criminal Defense Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Montgomery County, JP3

Allegations

A self checkout incident at a retail store led to a Class C theft citation when some items were not scanned. Store personnel detained the client inside, and an officer issued a ticket. We requested the store’s surveillance and police reports and opened negotiations with the prosecutor. Emphasizing the minimal value involved and the client’s cooperation, we pressed for a resolution that would avoid a conviction. The case was resolved with deferred adjudication, with terms the client could complete.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute after a night out. Our client reported the complainant, who had been drinking, grabbed his shirt and choked him while he was driving, and he pulled over and tried to leave. Police later arrested him based mainly on the initial account and minor injuries. We pulled bodycam, phone records, and messages showing repeated outreach to our client despite a no contact order, and we mapped inconsistencies between the complainant’s versions. We also documented that he promptly began counseling. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

The client was stopped after exiting a freeway for an alleged lane violation. At the scene they tried part of the walk-and-turn, were emotional, and admitted to drinking. A warrant blood draw hours later reported a very high BAC. We dissected dash and bodycam showing only momentary tire contact with the line and challenged the basis for the stop. We demanded full lab records and chain of custody to scrutinize the blood, and presented mitigation of steady work, schooling, and strict bond compliance. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with probation instead of prison.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Montgomery County, 9th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Officers found the client’s car stuck on train tracks during a welfare check and quickly turned it into a DWI investigation. The client declined to answer about drinking, refused field tests and a roadside breath test, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. We obtained the reports and video, stressing that the encounter began as a welfare check, documenting a shoulder injury affecting balance, and scrutinizing the warrant timing and blood chain of custody. The client complied with bond terms and sought help. Leveraging those issues and mitigation, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding prison.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, our client was arrested for family-violence assault based on an alleged single open-hand strike. Police imposed a no-contact order that displaced the family. We got involved immediately, obtained the report, and pressed for all recordings. The complainant later told the prosecutor and court he did not want the case or restrictions to continue, and the report noted no visible injuries. We moved to modify the order and challenged the strength of the evidence. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after an altercation at a private residence. The other person showed no bodily injury, while our client was taken by ambulance with visible trauma. We obtained medical records, photos from the hospital and officers, and statements from witnesses who described the other party as the aggressor. We advanced a self defense theory and highlighted inconsistencies in the complainant’s account and the lack of corroborating evidence. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic argument at a home, and the client was arrested for assault against two family members. Charges went forward even though the family did not seek prosecution, and strict no contact conditions were imposed. We obtained the police reports, 911 audio, and bodycam, and documented the client’s recent medication issues and memory lapse to present a self defense and mitigation narrative. After negotiations with a newly assigned prosecutor, we secured dismissal conditioned on a brief online class. The client completed it, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Our client was detained at a retail self-checkout and accused of taking merchandise valued over the limit. The client reported that a few small items were unintentionally left in a purse and that a debit cash-back on the receipt was mistakenly counted as loss. We pushed for discovery, compared the reports to transaction records, and gathered proof of lawful purchases. The client also completed theft-awareness and decision-making courses. After we presented the valuation issues along with mitigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Montgomery County, JP4

Allegations

Police responded to a neighbor’s complaint near a residence and cited our client for public intoxication, later taking her first to a hospital and then to jail. We filed into the case, demanded the reports and bodycam, and focused on whether the state could prove she was in a public place or a danger to herself or others given the incident occurred on or near private property. We also documented her prompt mental health treatment and clean history. After pressing these issues with the prosecutor, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a late‑night neighborhood collision, officers arrested our client for DWI. Despite the crash and a history of spine surgeries, balance issues, and head pain later diagnosed as a concussion, the officer ran field sobriety tests and obtained only a single breath sample at the station, with the second attempt unreadable and no blood draw taken. We secured bodycam, a dashcam clip from the other vehicle, and comprehensive medical records. We challenged the reliability of the testing and the weight of the post‑crash observations. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a reduced charge with a sentence of time served.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a heated argument at a residence, a 911 call led to our client’s arrest for family violence. With no prior record, the client reported confusion and blackout symptoms tied to a recent medication change. A stay-away order and drug testing followed. We gathered the surrounding context and pressed the self-defense angle while the client remained compliant. In negotiations, we secured a path to dismissal conditioned on completing a short online course. The state dismissed the case, ending the matter.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was arrested after officers responded to a disturbance outside a residence and alleged resisting during transport and booking. We secured bodycam and the full reports, reconstructed the timeline, and compared the arresting officer’s narrative with a later supervisory account. We pressed credibility and escalation issues, and documented the client’s clean record and ongoing mental health treatment. Faced with those problems and our readiness to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.
