Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision with a parked vehicle, and our client was arrested for a second DWI after leaving a bar. He reported a gap in memory and believed he had provided a breath sample. We secured the patrol video, reports, and testing records, and dissected the stop, the field evaluations, and the breath procedure. We also assembled mitigation, highlighting that no one was injured and addressing bond conditions and license matters promptly. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

The client was on deferred misdemeanor probation and only days from finishing when a new arrest led the state to file a motion to revoke. A warrant issued and the allegation centered on alcohol use tied to the new case. We compiled proof of steady compliance, completed classes, clean reporting, and on-time payments, and secured favorable input from supervision. We pressed those facts in negotiations, challenged the sufficiency of the violation, and resolved the warrant at the setting. The motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, None

Allegations

After a traffic stop for failing to signal, the client admitted to two small bottles of wine and had earlier taken a prescribed anti-anxiety medication. They struggled on the roadside tests, declined a breath test, and officers obtained a blood warrant. We emphasized how the medication and physical coordination issues undermined the reliability of the field tests and presented other mitigating factors. We negotiated an agreement for dismissal upon completion of a DWI education course and a victim impact panel. Once the classes were completed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving and speeding after leaving a restaurant. They were driving a manual transmission SUV with oversized tires that pulled right under throttle and left when decelerating, something the officer acknowledged after moving the vehicle. Field sobriety tests followed, but the client's dried contact lenses made the eye test difficult, and no roadside breath test was given. A blood sample was drawn. We focused on the vehicle handling issues, the compromised eye test, and the absence of a roadside breath result. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment Court DC

Allegations

Stopped for failing to maintain a single lane, the client opened the console for insurance and an officer spotted a disposable vape. A roadside test allegedly showed THC, the client was arrested, and a search found two more nearly burnt pens. We moved quickly, challenging the basis for the stop, the plain view seizure, and the reliability of the field test. We also questioned whether the trace residue and circumstances actually tied the pens to our client. Confronted with these issues before indictment, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After an argument at a residence, a neighbor called police when our client knocked repeatedly while trying to reach someone inside. Officers arrested for public intoxication, there were no field tests at the scene, and breath testing happened later at the jail. We reviewed the video and police report and challenged whether the facts showed any real danger to self or others. By engaging the prosecutor early, we pushed for a nonconviction outcome. We secured deferred probation with a modest fine and short class, which kept a conviction off the record.

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

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

Intoxication Assault

Location

Comal County, DC446

Allegations

Police alleged our client caused serious injury while intoxicated after a motorcycle went down during a low-speed U-turn. We dug into the crash mechanics, obtained video and reports, and retained an accident reconstruction expert. The physical damage pattern and injuries were consistent with a sudden weight shift by the passenger, not impaired driving, and even the paperwork conflicted on the bike’s path. We also challenged the reliability of hospital blood draws after contamination issues. With causation undermined, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, 466th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged our client committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a motorcycle crash in which a passenger suffered serious injuries. The report claimed intoxication and rider error caused the wreck during a U-turn. We dug into the scene evidence, noted the damage pattern on the motorcycle, and retained an accident reconstruction expert. The expert’s analysis supported that a sudden weight shift by the passenger caused the fall. We paired that with documented issues in the hospital blood draws and pressed the DA. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a felony conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

After a minor bump at a light in a parking area, police stopped our client and reported an odor of alcohol. The officer conducted field sobriety tests at the scene, but no roadside breath test was given. At the station, a breath sample registered 0.11. With no prior record and ongoing eye issues while taking multiple antihistamines, we explained how those factors could affect balance and eye tracking. We scrutinized the SFST instructions and the reliability of the observations, then pressed these issues in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation.

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.
