Assault Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Comal County

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence where several friends had gathered, and our client was arrested for assault after drinking and recalling little of the incident. We got involved early, obtained the emergency protective order and moved to correct it so he could access his home and pets. We gathered written statements from witnesses describing a brief argument with no clear assault, and secured a notarized statement from the complainant that she no longer lived there and did not wish to pursue charges. After we pressed the State with these issues, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument in a car, based largely on the partner’s claim of being struck. We dug in fast, securing doorbell video from a neighbor, phone logs showing repeated call attempts, and statements from witnesses who overheard the dispute. We compared that evidence to the complainant’s versions and documented major inconsistencies, along with messages he sent after the arrest. Faced with credibility problems and a noncooperative complainant, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 7

Allegations

A Class C assault charge was filed after a complaint about brief contact at a company event. The complainant was a recently terminated coworker, and our client denied any aggressive conduct. We obtained the report, pursued discovery, interviewed attendees, and gathered workplace documentation reflecting prior issues and motive to accuse. Multiple witnesses confirmed nothing resembling an assault occurred. We presented the credibility problems and lack of corroboration to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Peace Officer

Location

Bexar County, 290th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged our client struck an officer during an encounter that began while the client was in the midst of a mental health crisis. Several minor charges listed at booking were dropped, but the felony remained. We collected treatment records and the completed mental health evaluation and scrutinized the reports surrounding the arrest. The materials supported confusion and lack of intent, not an intentional assault. We presented that mitigation and evidentiary weakness to the prosecutor and kept pressing. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

After a night out, an argument in a parked vehicle escalated when a cup was thrown and hit the partner, causing visible injuries. Police responded and arrested our client for family violence, and a no contact order followed. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam and reports, confirmed no one was driving, and presented an affidavit of non prosecution from the complainant. With counseling and a class underway and mitigation in hand, we negotiated deferred adjudication so the client avoided a conviction.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Impeding Breath or Circulation)

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court (Pre file)

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at a residence, based on a claim of strangulation. The client reported being struck with household items and said he only pushed the other person away at the shoulders, denying any choking. We engaged early in the prefile stage, requested evidence, and compared the initial report with later communications. The complaining witness later indicated they did not wish to prosecute. We emphasized the lack of proof of impeded breathing and credibility problems, and the DA dismissed the case before indictment.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

After a domestic argument over a phone, our client was arrested when officers documented a minor bruise on the complainant. He had a visible scratch that was noted at intake. Initial statements were taken through a child family member translating before an interpreter arrived. We obtained the police reports, documented that both parties grabbed for the phone, and highlighted translation and credibility problems. We also prepared a non-prosecution affidavit and relayed the complainant's wishes. Facing these weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault - Family Violence (Serious Bodily Injury)

Location

Bexar County, 187th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute after our client had already called 911 and waited outside. Later, the complainant claimed a broken foot and serious injury, elevating the case to a felony. We attacked the credibility of that claim by compiling the client’s 911 account, social media posts attributing the injury to a separate skiing incident, and photos showing her moving normally soon after. We pushed for medical records and highlighted inconsistencies between statements and video clips. Confronted with these problems, the prosecution reduced the charge and agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

Responding officers to a domestic dispute arrested our client after the other party pointed to a facial mark and blamed her. We got involved immediately and compiled the client’s messages, videos, and call logs documenting prior volatility and her efforts to seek help. A third party on the phone during the incident reported statements consistent with the mark being self inflicted, and there were no injuries consistent with striking. We organized the contradictions in the complainant’s accounts and the absence of corroboration. After we laid out these credibility problems to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument at a residence led to an allegation of assault family violence. Officers relied on an initial statement, but we obtained home surveillance showing the complainant grabbing for a holstered firearm and our client using a single open hand strike to break contact and retreat. We secured that clip, compared it to the reports, and highlighted the self defense context and minimal injury evidence. The complainant later told authorities she did not wish to pursue the case. Confronted with that record, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested the client even though he was the one who called 911 reporting he had been struck. We obtained the 911 audio, body cam video, and the offense report. The footage and statements did not align, her account of the contact and injuries shifted, and a later protective order narrative conflicted with what was said on scene. We highlighted those contradictions and the context of a brief phone struggle that had already ended. Confronted with these credibility issues and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.
