Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

Following a domestic argument at a residence, officers entered and arrested our client after the complainant alleged strangulation and showed markings. The client consistently denied any contact with the neck. We obtained discovery and dispatch records, scrutinized the timeline, and pointed out that the complainant had already left before police came inside, raising questions about the basis for entry and the reliability of the account. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and after the complainant later declined to cooperate, the felony was dismissed.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

During a work trip, the client became separated from friends after a few drinks. Officers later found the client asleep in a public area, transported them to a sobering facility, and issued a citation for public intoxication. We got involved quickly, obtained the citation and court setting, and coordinated appearances so the client would not have to travel. We scrutinized the officer’s account of the encounter and highlighted the client’s clean record and cooperation. After negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 2

Allegations

After being cut off by another driver and striking a guardrail, our client was investigated for DWI. They admitted to drinking and attempted field sobriety tests, later telling the officer they had not passed. At the jail, a breath test was recorded and the case was filed as a high BAC charge, even though the client recalled lower readings. We scrutinized the stop, the administration of the tests, and the leap to an over .15 allegation. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated with the prosecutor and secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 498TH District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a reported crash noise and found our client parked with a flat tire and a cracked windshield. After field tests, an officer claimed the eye test showed signs of intoxication, despite conflicting lighting and instructions captured on video. The client consented to a blood draw taken hours later, and we uncovered problems with the timeline and blood kit documentation. We compiled bodycam footage, witness statements, and expert review to challenge reliability and leverage negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police filed a stalking case arising from a strained dating relationship. While our client was on house arrest, the complainant repeatedly came to his residence, including an incident documented by responding officers who escorted her away. We gathered photos and witness information showing she initiated contact after the alleged conduct and compared that to her earlier statements. Taking a trial posture, we pressed the credibility gaps with the DA. Faced with those problems, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

The client was charged with family violence strangulation after a domestic dispute, based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. Our investigation showed the pair continued their relationship for months afterward, with the complainant repeatedly returning to the residence, including visits while the client was on a GPS monitor. We secured photos and police responses documenting her presence and highlighted major inconsistencies in her accounts. After we pressed those credibility issues and signaled readiness for trial, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to a family violence allegation and a warrant. The police report relied on the complainant's account, and there were no documented injuries. We moved quickly to gather third-party witness statements from people who were present and to secure the 911 audio and officer recordings. Those materials supported that the dispute was verbal only, and the complainant later indicated she did not wish to pursue the case. We presented the credibility issues to the prosecutor, and the misdemeanor assault charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a dispute at an indoor recreation venue turned physical. Officers labeled him the aggressor based on a partial video, even though the other man advanced while gripping a club. We dug into the evidence, securing body cam and surveillance, pressed for missing camera angles, and highlighted a witness who reported the complainant was acting aggressively. Framing the case as self defense, we rejected a plea and went to trial. After exposing gaps and inconsistencies on cross, the jury found him not guilty.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The charge arose from a domestic argument at a residence. When a door was pushed open, a family member behind it fell and suffered a minor bump, which officers treated as intentional assault. We gathered counseling records and CPS documentation showing the family had already addressed the incident and CPS closed its file, and secured statements describing the contact as accidental. We also highlighted errors in the paperwork and inconsistencies in the reports. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police alleged our client interfered with a 911 call during a household argument after a phone was briefly taken from the caller. We dug into the reports, call logs, and recordings to see what actually happened. The materials did not show that a call was prevented or that our client acted with the intent the statute requires. We compiled those gaps, along with context from the scene, and presented them to the prosecutor. Faced with a weak evidentiary record and a contested account, the state dismissed the interference case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC3

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an alleged red light violation, officers noted poor performance on field sobriety tests and administered a breath test that required multiple tries before producing an unusually high reading. We scrutinized the breath testing process, emphasizing the repeated attempts and the mismatch with the client’s limited alcohol admission. We also presented strong mitigation: completed DWI education, a victim impact panel, substance abuse treatment, regular AA, and supportive letters. Using these points in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a lesser misdemeanor with straight probation.

Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Individual

Location

Medina County, 454th District Court

Allegations

A family dispute at a home led to police involvement after a child was accidentally knocked down when a door was pushed open. The child had a minor injury, CPS got involved, counseling was completed, and CPS closed its file. Even so, a felony injury to a child case was filed. We gathered the CPS closure, counseling records, and statements showing it was an accident with immediate care. Leveraging the lack of intent, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation with reduced conditions and credit for prior classes, keeping a conviction off the record.
