Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, the complainant alleged our client touched her indecently. He reported the contact was brief and ended the moment she said no, with no further physical contact. We secured discovery and built a timeline from reports and communications to test her account. We pressed the state on the lack of corroboration and made clear we were ready to litigate. When the complainant later declined to cooperate, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument escalated, police responded and issued our client a Class C assault citation based on the complainant's on-scene account. There was no formal book-in. We got involved quickly, documented the context of a mutual confrontation after drinking, and stayed in contact with the other party. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we delivered to the prosecutor. With limited proof beyond the initial account and our submission in the file, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

The client was indicted for felony stalking after a volatile breakup. Reports alleged repeated messages and an unannounced visit, with two complainants involved. We dissected the communications, challenged whether the felony elements were met, and pressed the prosecution on overcharging. The state reduced it to misdemeanor harassment and allowed a remote plea. The judge imposed deferred adjudication probation with classes, community service, and no-contact terms, removed electronic monitoring, and kept a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

Our client was indicted for felony stalking after contentious messages and disputed contact involving an ex and a third party. We organized the communications, put them in the context of an ongoing custody fight, and showed why a felony theory overreached the facts. While acknowledging some harassing conduct, we pressed the State on proof gaps and proportionality. The prosecution agreed to reduce it to misdemeanor harassment with no conviction, and a remote plea was allowed. The client received deferred probation with classes and community service, the ankle monitor came off, and supervision was handled virtually.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, both parties called 911 and officers arrested our client for family violence. The dispute involved personal property, and the client reported briefly restraining the other person to prevent damage, with no injuries observed. We got involved early, gathered the reports, and compared the conflicting accounts. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we submitted to the prosecutor. After persistent follow up highlighting weak corroboration, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft Under $100 (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

During a large event, store staff at a temporary merchandise tent accused our client of concealing small items and passing all points of sale. The client maintained they were stopped while still shopping. We obtained the police report and limited video, gathered a defense witness statement, and flagged that the complaining witness was difficult to locate. We leveraged those issues to negotiate deferred probation with a shortened term and reduced fine, keeping a conviction off the record and sparing the client from travel.

Charge

Application for Protective Order (Civil)

Location

Bexar County, 166th District Court

Allegations

Following the end of a relationship, the complaining witness filed a civil protective order alleging repeated unwanted contact. We got involved right away, obtained the application and sworn affidavit, and compared those claims to later communications and the witness’s updated position. Our review showed key inconsistencies and, importantly, that the witness no longer wanted an order. We met with the protective order prosecutor, provided the records, and challenged the evidentiary basis. The State nonsuited the case and the court dismissed the application.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, the complainant alleged our client threatened them and claimed he spat on them. Deputies issued a Class C citation for assault by threat, and no physical injury was reported. We reviewed the incident reports and gathered subsequent communications showing the complainant did not wish to prosecute. We highlighted inconsistencies in the accounts and the lack of corroborating evidence, making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a volatile breakup, the client was arrested for harassment based on a flurry of phone calls to an ex. We pulled the call logs and messages and showed that, after that night, communication was two way and often initiated by the complainant. Our team also secured third party records and a witness from a local gym that undercut the accuser’s timeline of events. We organized the chronology, highlighted the inconsistencies, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, CC2

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash into a parked car that caused the vehicle to roll, officers investigated our client for DWI. Field sobriety tests were conducted while the client was still shaken from the collision, the client declined a breath test, made no admissions, and a blood draw was later obtained by warrant. With prior DWI convictions elevating the charge to a felony, the stakes were high. We dissected the reports and evidence, emphasized the compromised reliability of the roadside testing and the delay before the blood draw, and challenged gaps in the state's proof. The case resolved with a felony probation term instead of prison.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 13

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a family argument at a residence escalated following drinking. Officers noted redness on the relative, but our client also had injuries and called 911 for medical help. We pushed for the 911 audio, photos, and body cam, and documented conflicts between the initial report and later accounts. We obtained a modification of release conditions to allow travel and nonharmful contact. The relative later signed an affidavit of non prosecution, the client completed an anger management class, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace Precint 1

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after both sides contacted 911. The complainant alleged the client spit on them, and officers issued a Class C assault citation after a brief detention, with no bodily injury alleged. We obtained the police report and compared the accounts, underscoring how little evidence existed beyond the initial statement. The complaining witness later indicated they did not wish to proceed, which we documented for the prosecutor. Confronted with credibility issues and a thin record, the State dismissed the case.
