Criminal Defense Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The case began after a minor traffic incident led to a DWI investigation. Officers found a handgun in a bag and added an unlawful carrying count, based solely on the claim the client was engaged in criminal activity. We obtained the reports, 911 audio, and bodycam, and highlighted weak intoxication indicators, including conflicting notes about alcohol odor and the timing of any drinking. We also emphasized there was no evidence the firearm was misused or displayed. Faced with these problems, the state dismissed the UCW.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Montgomery County, 359th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case began after a dispute outside a bar where a shot was allegedly fired into the air, and a former partner identified our client. We demanded and reviewed all discovery, monitored the state’s efforts to secure the complaining witness, and prepared for trial. Prosecutors repeatedly had no contact with that witness and offered no new corroborating evidence. With their key witness unavailable and our trial posture clear, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Montgomery County, 221st DC

Allegations

The client was on deferred felony probation when a motion to revoke was filed, based on an alleged protective order violation from another county and probation test issues. We obtained records from that jurisdiction showing the protective order case would not hold and was dismissed. We also documented that a missed test occurred while the client was in custody and challenged the reliability of a diluted and alcohol positive screen. With those weaknesses laid out and a bond hearing set, we pressed the state hard. The prosecutor dismissed the motion, and the client was released.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

The client was detained after a pedestrian stop that escalated into an arrest for Interference with Public Duties. We moved quickly to file discovery, demanding all patrol car and body camera footage and obtaining the officer’s report. Building a clear timeline, we challenged the basis for the detention and whether the client actually impeded any official duty. After pressing these weaknesses with the prosecutor and signaling suppression litigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Escape from Custody

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop after an event, the client was handcuffed and placed in a patrol car. A cuff slipped and the door was not secured, so the client stepped out with hands visible to get the officer’s attention and ask about a breath test, not to flee. Officers labeled it escape from custody. We scrutinized the reports and highlighted the lack of flight, the unsecured restraints, and the client’s immediate cooperation, undermining the required intent. The prosecution dismissed the case.

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

Disorderly Conduct (Class B)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police responded to a report of shots fired near a barricaded dead end road. The client had been target practicing in a secluded wooded area and was back at a parked vehicle when officers arrived. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, and documented the scene with maps and photos, showing the location was off the roadway and well away from occupied buildings, with no bystanders at risk. We challenged whether the statute’s elements were met and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the Class B disorderly conduct 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

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

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

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

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.
