Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 144th DC

Allegations

Years after starting probation on a misdemeanor, our client left the state to care for a seriously ill family member and missed required appointments and a court setting. A motion to revoke was filed and the case sat on a warrant. We tracked down the old probation and court records, verified the timeline, and gathered documentation of the medical hardship. We presented that mitigation to the prosecutor and probation, pushed for a noncustodial resolution, and negotiated deferred probation with updated terms, avoiding jail and limiting future travel.

Charge

DWI - Class B

Location

Comal County, 433rd DC

Allegations

Prosecutors floated an enhancement based on prior history, but we pulled records and showed there was only one prior conviction, which blocked a felony upgrade. When a specialty court option was denied, we set the case for trial with punishment to the court and built strong mitigation, including supervisor and family support and documented interlock compliance. Facing that posture, the state offered straight probation. We coordinated license and interlock requirements so our client could keep working.

Charge

Protective Order

Location

Guadalupe County, 456th District Court

Allegations

After a neighbor sought an ex parte protective order, our client was suddenly barred from approaching their own residence under a broad stay-away provision. We stepped in immediately, instructed the client to comply, and moved to challenge the order. At the hearing we highlighted the lack of recent threats, months of peaceful co-existence, and the practical hardship caused by the distance requirement. We also identified inconsistencies in the applicant’s account. The court dismissed the case and dissolved the order.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Wilson County, District Court

Allegations

The client faced a felony allegation after a delayed report involving someone they knew personally. Months later an investigator contacted the client, who voluntarily met and gave a statement. A warrant issued and the client was later arrested following an unrelated stop. We secured the discovery, mapped the timeline against the interviews, and documented major gaps tied to the late reporting and the state's proof of essential elements. We pressed the issue with the prosecution, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL9

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client was arrested for a first DWI when a roadside breath test indicated a result at or above the legal limit. Our team stepped in quickly, took over from prior counsel, and obtained the police reports and testing records. We pressed the state on proof issues and emphasized key mitigating factors to secure an outcome that avoided jail exposure and minimized collateral consequences. The prosecutor agreed, and the charge was reduced.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Request for Assistance (911)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a domestic argument, our client was accused of interfering with a 911 call. The client consistently reported that the complainant left the home with a phone and no attempt was made to stop any call. We challenged the timeline using the state's records, showing any call occurred after the complainant had already left, which undercut the accusation. We also emphasized the lack of any effort to seize a phone or block access. Facing those evidentiary problems and a noncooperative complainant, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Deadly Conduct (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police arrested the client after a domestic argument in a parked SUV. The complainant told officers an arm was caught in the window as the client pulled forward, while the client said he stopped immediately and left to avoid further conflict. We moved quickly to modify restrictive bond conditions and gathered statements from those involved. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we filed and presented to the prosecutor. We highlighted contradictions between the initial 911 account and later statements and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft of Service

Location

Bexar County, DC226

Allegations

The client was charged after a repair arrangement at a shop fell apart and the complainant claimed significant losses. We reconstructed the payment flow by reviewing receipts, messages, and account histories, and found the money ran through a third party account rather than our client's. We demanded the state produce bank records tying any deposits to our client's accounts and moved to subpoena the bank if needed. In court, the prosecution could not make that link. With that key element missing, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Caldwell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Stopped for minor speeding, the client admitted to drinking earlier and performed field sobriety tests before being arrested for DWI. At the jail, the breath test registered right at the legal limit. We obtained the videos and reports, compared the officer’s observations with the testing, and emphasized the lack of strong impairment indicators and the client’s cooperation. The client also completed recommended classes proactively. Using the borderline BAC and mitigation, we persuaded the prosecution to dismiss the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, our client was investigated for DWI. They performed field sobriety tests and later had a blood draw after declining a breath test. There was no crash and no passengers, and the client made no admissions. We pressed for full discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the roadside exercises, and the blood-draw paperwork and procedures, and signaled readiness to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

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.
