Criminal Defense Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

Accident Involving Damage Under $200

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

The case stemmed from a minor fender bender after leaving a parking area. The client briefly left the scene in a panic but pulled over moments later, and the other driver arrived while officers were already on site. Police cited the incident as accident involving damage under $200. We obtained and reviewed the bodycam and crash report, showing minimal contact and immediate cooperation once stopped. We also supplied proof of valid insurance to address the property damage. After negotiations, the charge was reduced and resolved with credit for time served.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer alleged excessive speed and called it reckless. The vehicle was towed and no citation was issued at the scene, and the client later learned a warrant had been filed. We dissected the affidavit and patrol paperwork, focusing on the pacing method used to estimate speed and on an asserted admission the client denies. Key parts of the narrative did not line up cleanly. We leveraged those weaknesses in negotiations, and the charge was reduced to a lesser traffic offense with straight probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 359th DC

Allegations

After a late night domestic argument at a residence, police alleged our client threatened a spouse with a firearm before leaving. Officers arrived later, recovered a handgun, and wrote the case without injuries or on scene witnesses. We secured the 911 audio, reports, and body cam video and showed the case rested on after the fact statements with shaky admissibility. The complainant later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We set the case for trial and filed a speedy trial motion. Faced with thin proof and a reluctant witness, the State dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 221st DC

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a tense encounter at a fuel stop where another driver stared and held an unknown object. The client, who lawfully possessed a handgun, briefly displayed it upward to signal he was armed, never pointing it or making threats. Weeks later, officers served an arrest warrant for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We moved quickly, monitored the filing, obtained discovery, and focused on the absence of pointing, injury, or contact and the clean history. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence where the complainant filmed an argument and claimed injury after a brief struggle over a phone. The client was taken to a hospital for a blood draw and reported that the screen showed no intoxication, only prescription medication. There was also prior friction between the parties, including a recent incident involving the complainant. We moved quickly to secure full discovery and submitted the complainant’s affidavit of non-prosecution. Confronted with credibility concerns and a reluctant witness, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

The matter started with a dispute at a dental office over misbilled insurance and a refund the client believed was owed. After staff refused a conversation with the provider and issued a trespass warning, police alleged the client made numerous follow-up calls and filed a harassment charge. We pulled dispatch audio, bodycam, call logs, and insurance records showing this was a civil billing issue and that staff had routed calls to a personal phone. The client completed brief classes and a non-admission apology. We pressed the prosecutor with the timeline and evidence, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence ended with our client’s arrest after officers relied on the other party’s immediate account and a protective order kept the client out of the home. We moved quickly to collect the bodycam footage, 911 audio, and a time-stamped home security timeline, then compared everything against the police report. Key details did not line up, and the complaining witness later indicated he did not wish to pursue the case. We highlighted the inconsistencies and lack of corroboration, pressed the State, and made clear we were ready for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Montgomery County, JP4 County Courts

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, a Class C family violence by contact charge was filed based largely on the complainant’s brief statement that there was a push. We obtained the police report, 911 audio, and body camera footage and scrutinized the state’s file. We pressed the prosecutor on the limited proof supporting a non-injury contact allegation and made clear we were prepared to litigate. Confronted with those weaknesses and our posture to fight, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers approached the client at a gas station after third party reports. The client voluntarily disclosed a lawfully owned handgun stored in a backpack inside the vehicle. Prosecutors claimed the carry was unlawful based on other suspected criminal activity during the encounter. We pulled the 911 recordings and the body and dash camera video, and emphasized that no witness identified the client engaging in the conduct necessary to convert lawful possession into an unlawful carry offense. Confronted with those proof problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Montgomery County, JP3

Allegations

Loss prevention at a big-box store stopped our client after self-checkout, claiming a few low-cost items were not scanned. The client had paid for the rest of the cart and immediately offered to pay for the missed items, then received a citation rather than an arrest. We obtained the store video and officer materials and underscored that an employee had cleared a register error, the client never exited the store, and any apologies were made under obvious stress. We challenged intent and evidentiary gaps and pressed for dismissal. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Montgomery County, CC4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a parking lot dispute with another driver escalated into a brief fight. The client reported hearing the other person say they had a gun and saw them reach into a bag, which prompted our client to intervene. Officers labeled our client the primary aggressor, and there was no usable video from the location. We obtained the police report and discovery, compared the parties' accounts, and focused on whether any witness actually heard a gun threat. Those conflicts and a clear self defense theory undercut proof beyond a reasonable doubt, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 435th DC

Allegations

A traffic stop led to an arrest for felony possession after officers located a THC vape cartridge that field tested positive. We obtained the offense report, body and dash camera footage, and the lab documentation. We scrutinized the reasons for the stop and the scope of the search, and pressed the state on chain of custody and the reliability of the testing. While the client complied with bond supervision, we prepared to litigate suppression issues. Facing these problems in their proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.
