Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

During a work trip, the client became separated from friends after a few drinks. Officers later found the client asleep in a public area, transported them to a sobering facility, and issued a citation for public intoxication. We got involved quickly, obtained the citation and court setting, and coordinated appearances so the client would not have to travel. We scrutinized the officer’s account of the encounter and highlighted the client’s clean record and cooperation. After negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 498TH District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a reported crash noise and found our client parked with a flat tire and a cracked windshield. After field tests, an officer claimed the eye test showed signs of intoxication, despite conflicting lighting and instructions captured on video. The client consented to a blood draw taken hours later, and we uncovered problems with the timeline and blood kit documentation. We compiled bodycam footage, witness statements, and expert review to challenge reliability and leverage negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 2

Allegations

After being cut off by another driver and striking a guardrail, our client was investigated for DWI. They admitted to drinking and attempted field sobriety tests, later telling the officer they had not passed. At the jail, a breath test was recorded and the case was filed as a high BAC charge, even though the client recalled lower readings. We scrutinized the stop, the administration of the tests, and the leap to an over .15 allegation. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated with the prosecutor and secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

Deputies were called to a truck stop after a 911 report that a recently repaired rig had just been moved by an intoxicated driver. Officers found our client near a food vendor, conducted roadside tests in a windy, uneven area, and later obtained breath samples showing an elevated result. We secured dispatch audio, video, and shop statements to challenge the timeline and whether the movement met the elements of operating on a public roadway. We also documented balance issues that undermined the field tests and noted procedural concerns about repeated breath attempts. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation with classes and compliance conditions, not jail. The client avoided a harsher sentence and can earn a favorable resolution by completing the program.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for a felony violation of a protective order after an argument at a residence, even though the order allowed contact with a no harm condition. We stepped in before indictment, obtained the 911 audio, body cam, and reports, and documented the actual terms of the order. The complainant signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We also moved to relax bond so the client could return to work. Confronted with our submission and the complainant’s lack of cooperation, the state dismissed the case in pre-indictment court.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

Our client was stopped late at night after an officer claimed erratic driving and was arrested for a first offense DWI with a breath test reported over .15. The client had just finished drinking, performed roadside tests in platform shoes, and also reported poor vision. We obtained the videos and reports, challenged the vague basis for the stop, dissected the instructions and scoring on the field tests, and scrutinized the timing and procedures behind the breath test. The pressure worked, and the prosecution reduced the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence escalated and a nosebleed was reported. He called 911 himself and accepted responsibility for a reckless act during the argument. We engaged early, opened dialogue with the prosecutor, and compiled mitigation like character references and a clean history to show this was out of character. We also worked to clarify the complaining witness’s wishes. When she declined to participate and was unavailable to testify, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, CC2

Allegations

A rear-end collision at a stop light, caused by another driver striking our client from behind, led to a DWI arrest after roadside tests. The client declined a breath test, and a blood sample was taken. We dissected the accident report and the officers’ observations, highlighting that no one was injured. We also gathered character reference letters and documentation that the insurance claim from the crash was fully resolved. Leveraging this context in negotiations, we secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a minor crash and faced a charge for accident involving damage over $200. From the start they insisted nothing happened and pointed to preexisting bumper damage. We obtained the police video and reports, which showed the complainant could not initially identify a driver and later offered a different description after prompting. We also presented insurance correspondence denying the claim and photos showing the damage did not match. Confronted with weak identification and no corroboration, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

After a verbal argument during a drive, the complainant alleged our client grabbed the steering wheel. No injuries were reported. The client left the vehicle and was arrested a short time later based largely on that initial statement. We moved quickly, obtained and presented an affidavit of non-prosecution from the complainant, and emphasized the lack of bodily injury evidence and the disputed nature of the account. After our outreach and pressure on the case, the prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after a fitting-room incident. She had placed clothing left in a stall into her bag, panicked, and tried to leave the items in a restroom before staff blocked her, took her to a back office, seized her phone, and pressured her to sign paperwork. They also claimed she took jewelry, which she denied. We pressed the state for discovery and challenged whether she ever passed the final point of sale, the inflated valuation, and the jewelry allegation. With a theft class certificate and strong character letters in hand, we secured pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Comal County, JP4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding following a day at the river, the client was cited for an underage alcohol offense rather than arrested. A sober driver was arranged and no chemical tests were taken. We entered the case quickly, verified the court’s requirement for a personal appearance, reviewed the citation and docket, and obtained a reset to create room to negotiate. We emphasized evidentiary gaps between consumption and possession and pressed for a nonconviction resolution. The matter concluded with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.
