Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CCL2.

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation after a DWI when a motion to revoke was filed based on ignition interlock reports of two high readings without retests and several missed tests, and a warrant issued. We arranged a walk-through with a bond to avoid a jail booking, then obtained the motion and device records. We showed the written instructions given to the client did not advise three-times-daily testing and documented clean compliance afterward. After presenting these issues and mitigation to the prosecutor, the motion was dismissed.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

During a domestic dispute in a vehicle, officers alleged our client blocked an emergency call and arrested her. We moved quickly to obtain phone logs showing repeated outgoing attempts to reach help and family, along with messages and a short video from the scene. Witness accounts and the timeline indicated the other party had taken the phone and was the one ending calls. We highlighted these credibility problems in negotiations and prepared to litigate. With the complainant no longer cooperating and the evidence undermined, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, our client was arrested for DWI. There were no driving irregularities beyond speed, and bodycam later showed clear speech and solid performance on the field tests. At the station, the client provided a breath sample just over the legal limit, with no blood draw. We secured the videos and reports, challenged probable cause for the arrest, and filed to exclude the state's late disclosed breath-test expert. At trial the state fell short, and the jury returned a Not Guilty.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument in a car, based largely on the partner’s claim of being struck. We dug in fast, securing doorbell video from a neighbor, phone logs showing repeated call attempts, and statements from witnesses who overheard the dispute. We compared that evidence to the complainant’s versions and documented major inconsistencies, along with messages he sent after the arrest. Faced with credibility problems and a noncooperative complainant, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 7

Allegations

A Class C assault charge was filed after a complaint about brief contact at a company event. The complainant was a recently terminated coworker, and our client denied any aggressive conduct. We obtained the report, pursued discovery, interviewed attendees, and gathered workplace documentation reflecting prior issues and motive to accuse. Multiple witnesses confirmed nothing resembling an assault occurred. We presented the credibility problems and lack of corroboration to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

The client was stopped for swerving and speeding and was arrested for a first-time DWI after field sobriety tests and a station breath test. We secured the video and reports, pinpointing problems with how the roadside tests were administered, including the officer's instruction to switch legs during the one-leg stand. We scrutinized the breath-test process and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The result was deferred adjudication, allowing the client to avoid a conviction upon successful completion of terms.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Bexar County, Windcrest Municipal Court

Allegations

Officers approached our client in a parking lot where they had parked to wait for a ride, engine off. EMS transported them to a hospital, and rather than book them the officer issued a Class C DUI citation. We stepped in quickly, requested the police reports, body cam, and medical records, and scrutinized whether the state could prove actual operation and what testing, if any, occurred. We also preserved license rights by timely requesting the administrative hearing. Using that leverage in negotiations, we secured deferred adjudication, avoiding a final conviction.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Second-Degree Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

The case began with a traffic stop where officers cited an air freshener or a minor equipment issue, then searched the vehicle without consent and claimed to find methamphetamine. We obtained and reviewed the dashcam, bodycam, and reports, comparing what was said to what actually occurred on video. The footage showed the stop lacked a valid legal basis and the search flowed directly from it. We filed a motion to suppress all evidence stemming from the stop and argued it in court. The motion was granted and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Our client was pulled over after a patrol unit tailed the vehicle, first citing an air freshener near the mirror, then a cracked light, then an alleged improper turn. Officers proceeded to search without consent and only afterward obtained statements. We obtained every bodycam, dashcam, and report and mapped the shifting reasons for the stop, along with footage showing the item did not obstruct the view. We filed a motion to suppress the stop and search and set it for hearing. Faced with those defects, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was arrested based on the complainant’s statement and a brief remark in the patrol car about having put hands on them. We engaged immediately, tracked the matter before filing, and opened respectful communication with the complainant. The complainant later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We also assembled mitigation, including proof of ongoing counseling. Given the state of the evidence and our mitigation package, the prosecution declined to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 15

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged swerving, our client performed roadside tests in a parking lot and later provided a breath sample at the station that registered over the legal limit. We obtained the patrol video and reports, scrutinizing the basis for the stop, the instructions given during the field tests, and the breath testing procedure. There was no crash and the client was cooperative with no prior record. We compiled mitigation and evidentiary concerns and pressed the prosecutor early. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation consistent with the reduction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Medina County, Justice of Peace, Precinct 2

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to repeated welfare checks, and the client was arrested and cited for Class C assault by contact after officers alleged minor offensive contact with water. We obtained the police reports and video discovery and built context showing no injuries and that the detention stemmed from multiple calls rather than a clear assault. We preserved the client’s recordings and other items demonstrating how minimal the contact was. We presented those issues to the prosecutor. The complaining witness told the state they did not wish to proceed, and the case was dismissed.
