Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Police filed a Class C family violence assault after a domestic dispute where our client called for help and was instead blamed. We scrutinized the report, gathered counseling records and photos showing prior abuse, and documented that the complaining witness might not be available to testify. We prepared to contest the allegations and, in the meantime, coordinated required fingerprinting and other compliance from another state to satisfy court requirements. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation. This resolution spared the client a conviction, contingent on completing the terms.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Our client was arrested for a second DWI after a roadside encounter where they declined field sobriety tests. A subsequent breath sample reportedly came back very high. We scrutinized the stop and the testing procedures, compiled mitigation materials, and pushed for treatment-focused terms instead of jail. The client quickly engaged in treatment and complied with ignition interlock and accountability court screening, which we documented for the prosecutor. The case was resolved with straight probation, avoiding additional custody.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Guadalupe County, CC 2

Allegations

After a sting operation, the client was arrested for solicitation of prostitution when a video and name surfaced online. We obtained discovery, reviewed the arrest report and available footage, and closely examined how the contact and arrest were documented. We raised concerns about the operation's procedures and the online exposure, then pushed those points in negotiations. The state ultimately agreed to deferred probation, allowing the client to avoid a final conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, CC2

Allegations

Officers responded to a single vehicle crash where airbags deployed. The client was taken to a hospital and a blood sample was drawn. We obtained the accident report and medical records to lock down the timing and handling of the sample. We compared the officer narrative to the documentation and raised questions tying alleged impairment to actual driving. After sustained negotiations, the state accepted a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and cited our client for family violence based largely on the other party’s account, despite visible injuries consistent with self defense. We gathered photographs and counseling documentation showing a pattern of prior abuse and flagged contradictions in the complainant’s statements. The complainant later left the state, weakening the prosecution’s case. We also coordinated court‑required fingerprinting while the client was out of state. We negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a final conviction if all terms are completed.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, our client received a citation for minor in possession after the officer searched the vehicle and found a container in the back seat. The client did not consent to a search, and the citation itself reflected no search conducted. We obtained the videos and report, noted that the bodycam lacked audio and the dashcam showed careful driving, and highlighted contradictions in the paperwork. We challenged the legal basis for the search and the reliability of the officer's account. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

While on felony community supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke after missed reporting months and a new resisting arrest allegation that followed a traffic stop. We stepped in immediately, contacted probation, and pushed to avoid a second arrest warrant while the alleged violations were consolidated. Our team requested body worn camera and other records from the arrest and challenged the basis for the new allegation. We also documented the client’s recent efforts to get back into compliance. After negotiations with probation and the DA, revocation was set aside and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid

Location

Bexar County, CC 9

Allegations

The client was stopped during a traffic patrol and cited for driving while license invalid. We obtained the officer’s report and the driving record, then mapped a timeline of the alleged suspension. The documentation did not match the date of the stop, and the state’s proof of notice and status was incomplete. We made clear we would challenge those elements and the admissibility of the evidence. Facing significant proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence. Our client had called for help, yet was arrested after officers noted small scratches on the other party and accepted his account. We obtained the 911 call, body cam, and a witness cell phone recording from inside the home, which showed a very different sequence of events and supported self defense. CPS notes and subsequent statements from the complainant conflicted with the initial report. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non prosecution, which we presented. Faced with credibility problems and a reluctant witness, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 12

Allegations

After a minor collision, our client was arrested for a first DWI with a reported blood alcohol level over .15. We gathered insurance documentation and confirmation from the state that no restitution was owed, removing a key obstacle to leniency. We also compiled months of spotless pretrial compliance and proof of proactive treatment and lifestyle changes. Keeping negotiations focused with the prosecutor and their supervisor, we pressed for relief. The state agreed to remove the enhancement and reduce the charge.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a roadside incident, officers claimed our client possessed a vape cartridge and filed a felony possession charge. The client consistently maintained it came from a retail smoke shop and was not illegal THC. We challenged the basis for the search, pressed the state for proof of the substance, scrutinized the lab process and chain of custody, and prepared suppression arguments. With testing delays and evidentiary weaknesses laid out, we pushed for dismissal. The prosecution dismissed the felony case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

A noise complaint brought officers to a home after a verbal argument. The client briefly left to give a friend a ride and returned to find police already in the backyard, having come through a detached garage. He was arrested on an allegation that he struck his partner, though she did not want charges and had hand injuries from an earlier sports mishap. We obtained medical records and photos confirming those injuries predated the incident, highlighted the lack of visible injury on body-cam, and challenged the warrantless entry. After we pressed these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.
