Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, both parties called 911 and officers arrested our client for family violence. The dispute involved personal property, and the client reported briefly restraining the other person to prevent damage, with no injuries observed. We got involved early, gathered the reports, and compared the conflicting accounts. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we submitted to the prosecutor. After persistent follow up highlighting weak corroboration, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

The client was indicted for felony stalking after a volatile breakup. Reports alleged repeated messages and an unannounced visit, with two complainants involved. We dissected the communications, challenged whether the felony elements were met, and pressed the prosecution on overcharging. The state reduced it to misdemeanor harassment and allowed a remote plea. The judge imposed deferred adjudication probation with classes, community service, and no-contact terms, removed electronic monitoring, and kept a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

Our client was indicted for felony stalking after contentious messages and disputed contact involving an ex and a third party. We organized the communications, put them in the context of an ongoing custody fight, and showed why a felony theory overreached the facts. While acknowledging some harassing conduct, we pressed the State on proof gaps and proportionality. The prosecution agreed to reduce it to misdemeanor harassment with no conviction, and a remote plea was allowed. The client received deferred probation with classes and community service, the ankle monitor came off, and supervision was handled virtually.

Charge

Theft Under $100 (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, SAMC

Allegations

During a large event, store staff at a temporary merchandise tent accused our client of concealing small items and passing all points of sale. The client maintained they were stopped while still shopping. We obtained the police report and limited video, gathered a defense witness statement, and flagged that the complaining witness was difficult to locate. We leveraged those issues to negotiate deferred probation with a shortened term and reduced fine, keeping a conviction off the record and sparing the client from travel.

Charge

Application for Protective Order (Civil)

Location

Bexar County, 166th District Court

Allegations

Following the end of a relationship, the complaining witness filed a civil protective order alleging repeated unwanted contact. We got involved right away, obtained the application and sworn affidavit, and compared those claims to later communications and the witness’s updated position. Our review showed key inconsistencies and, importantly, that the witness no longer wanted an order. We met with the protective order prosecutor, provided the records, and challenged the evidentiary basis. The State nonsuited the case and the court dismissed the application.
