Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Comal County, JP3

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the officer approached the passenger side and saw a grinder, a pipe, and loose plant material sitting in plain view. The items were seized and a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia was issued, with no arrest. We stepped in, requested dash and body camera video, and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the plain view seizure. Leveraging the footage and the client’s clean history, we pressed negotiations with the prosecutor. The case resolved with deferred adjudication on short terms, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a family-violence case when a motion to revoke alleged failures to report and incomplete classes. We were retained shortly before a setting, pulled the revocation filings, and met the client in custody to sort out what happened. We showed he had completed the required program, highlighted a clean record with no new violence, and noted the complaining witness no longer sought punishment. In court, we pressed these points with the prosecutor and the judge. The State agreed and the court terminated probation satisfactorily, so the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Medina County, 454th District Court

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic argument at a residence, and our client was arrested for assault family violence. From day one we built mitigation, documenting his PTSD treatment, anger‑management work, and military service, and we secured a signed affidavit of non‑prosecution from the complainant. We gathered therapist letters and character references and pressed back when the state tried to leverage out‑of‑state allegations. After reviewing discovery and presenting our package to the prosecutor, we negotiated deferred adjudication. The result kept a conviction off the record and allowed the client to continue treatment and move forward.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client was arrested on a new allegation and the State filed a motion to revoke. We pulled the probation file, verified a clean reporting record, and documented that the term was nearly complete with no prior issues. We contested the alleged violation, emphasized that the new case was unproven, and compiled proof of ongoing compliance and stability. After presenting this and pressing our position in negotiations, the State abandoned the action and the court dismissed the MTRP.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court.

Allegations

The case arose after a traffic stop where a small vape refill was found in the vehicle and treated as a controlled substance. The client consistently explained it was a legal product bought over the counter and provided the original packaging and proof of purchase. We appeared, demanded full discovery, and required the state to produce a valid lab analysis establishing the substance and its weight. We highlighted gaps in proof and leveraged the purchase documentation to challenge illegality and classification. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Stopped for alleged swerving within a lane, our client was arrested for a first offense DWI. At the station a breath test read about 0.07, and there was no roadside test or blood draw. We attacked the thin basis for the stop and the lack of reliable chemical proof, comparing the officer's narrative against the reports and available records. Making clear we were ready to litigate, we used those weaknesses in negotiations. The prosecution reduced the case to a lesser charge, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DUI - Minor (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, officers conducted field sobriety tests and requested a breath sample. The client blew about 0.04, below the 0.08 per se limit, but was cited for DUI as a minor. We demanded the dashcam, bodycam, and breath-testing records and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the evaluation. While discovery was pending, we implemented a mitigation plan, including completing an alcohol education program and addressing license issues. Armed with that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

When a felony motion to revoke was filed against our client on deferred adjudication, it rested on a single new allegation from an older, poorly defined incident. We moved quickly to secure a bond so the client could fight from the outside. We gathered probation records showing steady compliance and payments, and demanded the state's proof on the alleged violation. The evidence was thin and dated, and key details were unclear. After meeting with the prosecutor and challenging the basis for revocation, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The client was arrested after an allegation that a protective order was violated through improper contact. The client maintained that all communication occurred on a parenting app and reported that the other party repeatedly came to places connected to the children. We compiled the app messages, police incident records, and the relevant court orders to highlight conflicting terms and the absence of threats or impermissible in‑person contact. We pressed the State on evidentiary gaps, documented the burden of GPS monitoring, and pushed for an alternative resolution. The prosecution agreed to pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction and resolving the case through program conditions.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

After learning of an old allegation of leaving the scene of a minor collision, the client voluntarily appeared to address it. They had no memory of any crash and reported no damage to their vehicle. We obtained discovery on the case, which had been filed some time earlier, and demanded photos, repair invoices, and a clear identification linking our client to any impact. We challenged whether the state could prove damage above the statutory threshold and asked them to confirm contact with the complainant. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

Our client was stopped late at night for alleged speeding and running a red light after leaving a bar. The officers noted glassy eyes but both said they did not smell alcohol. The client attempted part of the field tests, explained a balance condition, then declined further testing and refused a breath test. A blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We demanded dashcam and bodycam footage and prepared suppression arguments based on the prolonged detention and lack of odor. When the state could not produce the key video and faced our challenges, it dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court at Law 14

Allegations

The client was stopped while driving back to a hotel after a work function and was unsure why the stop occurred. The officer reported signs of intoxication and conducted two field tests after denying a restroom request that led to an accident. The client refused a breath test, and a blood sample was taken later at the jail. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the basis for the stop, the test instructions, and the timing and procedures surrounding the blood draw, and used testimony from the license hearing to push negotiations. The state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.
