Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Theft of Service (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, CC1

Allegations

Our client faced a felony theft of service charge tied to a security services dispute from years earlier. The matter had remained at warrant status after a missed court requirement, and the client was later detained on the old warrant. We dug into the file, pulled records from the court and clerk, and reconstructed the case history. The paperwork showed gaps and the evidentiary trail had gone cold. We also documented mitigating reasons for the missed appearance and pressed these issues with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

A domestic argument after a late night gathering escalated when our client threw an empty can and pushed her spouse, then called 911 after being struck. Officers arrived and, despite noting no injuries on the complainant, arrested our client as the aggressor. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera footage, and statements, which showed limited corroboration, inconsistencies from a peripheral witness, and that the complainant did not wish to pursue the case. We pressed these weaknesses with the DA and prepared for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute after our client phoned for help to calm an argument at home. The incident involved mutual slaps, and photos documented no visible injury. We compiled a mitigation packet detailing the spouse's cognitive health issues, the client's cooperative call for assistance, and the lack of injuries or prior history. The spouse later made clear they did not wish to proceed, which we relayed to the prosecutor. After sustained discussions and review of our materials, the state declined to pursue the case. The charge was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated and arrested our client for DWI. The client admitted to having drinks, refused a breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital under a warrant. We dug into the paperwork and digital evidence, noting gaps in the report and delays in the state's discovery. When the case continued to stall, we asserted the client's speedy-trial rights and set the matter for a dismissal hearing. Faced with a thin record and our motion, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was stopped after an alleged stop sign violation and arrested for DWI. They performed roadside tests, refused breath and blood, and officers later obtained a blood draw by warrant. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the report, then broke down the field tests step by step, flagging errors in how the HGN was administered and contradictions with the written narrative. We delivered that analysis to the prosecution and kept the pressure on. Faced with compromised key evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a felony drug case when supervision alleged a positive test and missed community service. Probation pushed for 180 days in a sanction facility. We moved fast, filing a motion to review and modify conditions and assembling mitigation that included treatment evaluations, program options, and family support. We negotiated a treatment focused alternative, detailing an outpatient plan and clear compliance steps. The court accepted the plan, the client avoided the facility, and the case was resolved with deferred probation intact.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Comal County, JP4

Allegations

During a traffic stop for tinted windows, our client was a passenger when the driver consented to a vehicle search. Officers located a small amount of marijuana and charged the passenger, who had no prior record, after an on-scene admission. We dug into the basis for the stop, the scope of the consent as it applied to a passenger, and how the statement was obtained. We outlined the suppression issues and the weak nexus tying possession to our client beyond the admission. After sustained pressure in negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault FV - Class C
