Criminal Defense Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at a residence led to a brief struggle over a phone and a nosebleed. The complainant gave one story that night, but later acknowledged heavy intoxication and could not say how the bleeding began. We secured an affidavit of nonprosecution, gathered photos showing no cuts or bruising, and contrasted them with a report claiming a chin laceration. We assembled the contradictions and lack of cooperative testimony, and prepared for trial. Confronted with those credibility problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Montgomery County, JP 4

Allegations

Police issued a Class C assault by contact citation after a heated argument at a home. The client reported briefly touching a relative’s shoulder to guide them toward the door, no one was injured, and officers asked him to leave for the night without arrest. We entered a not guilty plea, requested a trial setting, and obtained the police report, body camera video, and witness statements. Our review highlighted the minimal, non-injurious contact and the thin proof supporting an offensive contact. After pressing these points and signaling readiness for trial, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 359th DC

Allegations

A traffic stop for a paper tag led officers to claim an odor of marijuana and search the car, finding a small amount of THC wax. The client had a state medical cannabis card but not the original packaging, and the amount was under a gram. While on bond, missed UAs due to transportation issues triggered a warrant and a no bond hold. We appeared, pushed for the earliest setting, and obtained discovery, underscoring the minimal weight and the questionable roadside testing. At the hearing, we negotiated a reduction to a misdemeanor with credit for time served, securing the client's release.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Montgomery County, 221st DC

Allegations

After a difficult breakup, the client was arrested for felony stalking when she drove by a home and called in welfare checks to locate her children. We pulled bodycam and call records, plus messages between the complainant and a new partner that showed coordinated reporting, not genuine fear. We also logged the complainant’s own contacts and misconduct, undercutting intent and credibility. We compiled a grand jury packet and pressed the state on the evidentiary gaps. The prosecutor dismissed the case, acknowledging it could not be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Montgomery County, JP3

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence after neighbors called 911 about loud arguing, and our client was charged with Class C family violence. Our review of the 911 audio and reports showed the case rested on a neighbor’s account while the complainant consistently said no assault occurred. We assembled an affidavit from the complainant, character letters, and proof the client completed counseling classes. We pressed the State on credibility and the lack of bodily injury and sought relief from restrictive conditions. The prosecutor ultimately agreed, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third Degree Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

A traffic stop for expired registration led to a search after the officer reported smelling marijuana. Police seized a vape cartridge and several nearly empty carts, then filed a third degree felony by alleging between one and four grams. We pulled the videos, reports and lab paperwork, and zeroed in on how the weight was calculated. We challenged any inclusion of hardware and trace residue, questioned whether the state could reliably prove the substance and its net weight, and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute at a residence, leading to our client's arrest and a no-contact order. We immediately entered the case, requested all discovery, including 911 audio and bodycam, and scrutinized the reports. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We also addressed bond and protective order issues to reduce hardship while the case was pending. With the affidavit and context from the evidence showing no ongoing safety concerns, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 359th Judicial District Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop for a minor moving violation, the officer shifted to questioning about contraband. The client acknowledged a THC vape in the vehicle, and it was recovered when the car was processed. We obtained the dash and body cam, the written report, and the lab paperwork on the cartridge. We challenged the leap from a simple stop to a drug investigation and flagged issues in how the item was handled and documented. After we presented those problems and made clear we were ready to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police alleged our client resisted during an arrest following a roadway incident. Video evidence showed the client already handcuffed and seated in a patrol car, momentarily bracing a door with a foot while panicking. The officer responded with pepper spray, and there was no clear attempt to interfere with official duties. We obtained the footage, reports, and documentation of the spray, then challenged whether the elements of resisting could be proven. After we pressed these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, our client was arrested when officers relied on the complainant’s photos and initial account. We requested the 911 audio, body cam and reports, and flagged discrepancies between the narrative and where the minor injury was described. The complainant also told our office she did not wish to prosecute, which we relayed to the prosecution. We kept pressure on the case and stood ready to litigate the evidentiary issues. Facing credibility problems and no cooperative witness, the state dismissed the charge.

Charge

False Statement to a Peace Officer

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

After our client reported being attacked by a stranger, an investigator later alleged the report was false and referred the case for prosecution. We obtained the incident records, gathered hospital documentation and photos confirming a stab wound, and opened dialogue with the DA. We compiled a mitigation packet, including a personal statement and a completed class, but the prosecutor declined pretrial diversion. Facing a credibility dispute at trial, we negotiated a period of deferred adjudication, protecting the client from a conviction while the case is supervised.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute that began at a restaurant and continued at a residence. The client called 911 to have the other party removed, but officers focused on a minor facial cut and booked her for assault. We obtained body cam, 911 audio, and home surveillance showing the client being pushed and the complainant telling officers she did not strike him. We highlighted the contradictions and the lack of proof of injury caused by our client. The state dismissed the case.
