Charge

Open Container of Alcohol

Location

Comal County, None

Allegations

During a traffic stop, deputies reported finding two open alcoholic beverages inside the vehicle and issued an open container citation. We obtained the patrol video, bodycam, and reports, and focused on how the containers were discovered, documented, and tied to the driver. The footage and paperwork lacked clear proof of who possessed them or when they were opened. We pressed these evidentiary problems with the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop, officers reported signs of impairment, two open containers, and arrested our client after field sobriety tests. The client declined a breath test, and a blood warrant was obtained. We gathered the dash and body cam footage, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the tests, and the handling of the blood draw and lab work. We also had the client complete recommended alcohol education early. Using that leverage in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a lesser charge, sparing the client the harsher penalties tied to the original allegation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a crash at an intersection, the client called for help and was investigated for DWI. Officers said they observed intoxication, located beer in the vehicle, and conducted only limited field sobriety testing even though the airbags had deployed. A breath test was taken. We pulled the video and crash records and documented the client’s injuries and post-collision disorientation, which undercut reasonable suspicion for the tests and the arrest. Confronted with those problems, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to a lower-level DWI.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence. The client left during the argument, returned to find the door locked, and forced entry, after which police arrested him based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We obtained the 911 audio and body-camera video, noted the absence of documented injuries and multiple inconsistencies, and pushed to ease restrictive bond conditions. As trial neared, the court limited live testimony and the state leaned on the 911 call. We leveraged those evidentiary issues to negotiate deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record.
