Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Caldwell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a traffic stop for alleged violations, the client was arrested on a second DWI. Body and dash videos showed only the eye-tracking test was conducted at roadside, and the client chose a blood draw rather than additional exercises. We obtained the reports, video, and lab paperwork, and pressed the state on the limited field testing while building mitigation. The client promptly installed an interlock and began recommended classes. Leveraging compliance and evidentiary concerns, we negotiated a reduction of the charges.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

A trooper stopped the client after claiming the rear plate was unreadable, then reported the odor of alcohol. The client admitted to having some drinks, completed the field sobriety tests, and was arrested. A breath test later showed ascending results of 0.10 and 0.11. We scrutinized the justification for the stop, the officer’s instructions on the tests, and the timing of the breath sample given the rising BAC near the limit. With no prior record and leverage on those issues, we negotiated deferred adjudication to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Eluding a Police Officer

Location

Medina County

Allegations

Police claimed the driver failed to immediately pull over and filed an eluding charge after activating lights and siren. We obtained the dashcam and reports, which showed the vehicle’s hazard lights were already on, the driver slowed, moved into a turn lane, and stopped at the next light without accelerating away. We emphasized there was no intentional attempt to escape, only a brief delay to stop safely, so the elements of the offense were not met. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

After a multi-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI and documented an open container in the vehicle. We dug into the police paperwork and crash details, focusing on how the investigation was conducted and the fact there were no reported injuries or added charges from the wreck. We highlighted the ambiguity around who possessed the container and pressed the state on proof of impairment versus accident dynamics. Through negotiation, the case resolved in a plea to probation, allowing the client to complete terms in the community.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Kendall County, 498th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a freeway collision where officers alleged our client was weaving and cutting off other vehicles. We pulled the police reports and available dash and body camera, then lined those accounts up with the written witness statements. We challenged whether the documented driving actually met the legal standard for reckless, as opposed to momentary negligence, and identified gaps in the state’s proof. With those issues teed up and ready for litigation, we pressed the prosecutor in negotiations. The reckless driving charge was dismissed.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, the client pulled over right away. When the officer ordered them out, the client asked why, and was arrested and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude. We secured the patrol report, pushed for the dash and body camera footage, and centered negotiations on the absence of any evasive driving. We made clear we were ready to litigate the elements and take the case to trial if necessary. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police responded after the client’s car hit a curb at an intersection. He reported being diabetic, had skipped medication, uses a CPAP, and admitted to a few beers earlier. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and obtained a voluntary blood draw at the jail. We gathered medical records, documented balance issues, and flagged inconsistencies in the reported location. Leveraging those weaknesses in the stop and testing, we pressed the State in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after allegedly cutting off another vehicle. Without a license on hand, they declined balance tests due to longstanding leg and back issues, and completed only the eye test. At the station they submitted a breath sample that tested high. We obtained the videos and breath-test paperwork, examined the officer's HGN instructions, the observation period, and machine records, and paired that with proactive classes and character letters. That pressure led to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After striking roadside construction, the client parked and went into a nearby business. Officers arrived on a report of erratic driving, noted open containers, and arrested for public intoxication after the client acknowledged drinking and later produced a marginal breath result at booking. We obtained the evidence, reviewed bodycam, and challenged whether the required danger to self or others was supported. We also documented the client’s immediate entry into treatment. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a reduced municipal charge with deferred probation and a lowered fine, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for aggravated robbery after a roadside encounter spiraled into a confrontation. The client reported being cut off, followed briefly to get a plate number, and captured video of the exchange before being chased and shot at. We obtained and presented that footage, engaged the investigating officer, and pressed the state on the lack of evidence supporting a robbery. When the complaining witness could not be produced, we set the matter to force a decision. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Guadalupe County

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving after a long day on the road. Officers noted red, droopy eyes and claimed balance issues on roadside tests, but there was no odor of alcohol and the client insisted on a blood draw. The state’s alcohol analysis later showed 0.00, then they delayed the case while sending the sample for drug screening. We obtained independent alcohol and 10-panel drug tests within days, both negative, and built a record explaining the fatigue. We pushed the prosecutor, challenged bond conditions that required an interlock, and pressed for dismissal. The state ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC6

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an alleged traffic violation and contact with a curb, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests, and a blood draw was performed under a warrant. We secured the videos and warrant paperwork, compared them to the report, and flagged weaknesses in the basis for the stop and arrest. At the same time, we lined up mitigation, including a DWI class, a victim impact panel, character letters, and an application to veterans treatment court. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.
