Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Bexar County, CCL7

Allegations

Police responded to an argument at a residence and arrested our client for assault causing bodily injury based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We moved quickly, secured the reports and recordings, and interviewed available witnesses to understand what actually happened. The complainant later signed a sworn affidavit of non‑prosecution, and our review showed the state had little corroboration beyond the initial account. We presented those weaknesses and the affidavit to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, DC

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at an apartment complex led neighbors to call 911 and report a violent assault on a pregnant partner. The reports claimed dragging and injuries, yet the partner disputed those allegations and she was taken for evaluation with no injuries reported. We moved to modify strict no contact bond terms to no harmful contact so the family could function safely. The complainant then signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we filed. With thin evidence and sustained pressure, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, DC466

Allegations

Police responded to a welfare check after a domestic dispute at a residence. Our client reported being prevented from leaving, the argument escalated, and a handgun was displayed, but no shots were fired and no one was injured. The arrest rested largely on a single account with no independent witnesses. We scrutinized the reports and probable cause affidavit, emphasized the absence of injuries, and documented that the complainant was not pursuing prosecution. The case went to a grand jury, which returned a no-bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic incident where someone squirted water and a fight followed. The client was labeled the aggressor and arrested. We got involved early, obtained the police reports, and spoke with witnesses to document the size disparity, that the other person delivered most of the blows, and that our client was calling for help. We challenged the primary aggressor determination and the lack of corroboration, noting the complainant did not wish to pursue. The state agreed the evidence was insufficient and dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (With Priors)

Location

Bexar County, 144th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a home, officers relied largely on the complainant’s account that our client pinned them against a counter and injured a wrist. The client reported he only removed their hands from him and then drove them for treatment. When we took over, we obtained discovery and reviewed the reports, bodycam, and medical records. We flagged a delayed outcry, contradictions between the initial report and follow up, and a potential motive tied to housing bills, plus evidence of medical aid. Faced with these issues, the state reduced the case, and we resolved it with deferred probation, keeping a felony off the record.

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

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 by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Pre-Indictment Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, police alleged strangulation, photographed neck bruising, and captured a 911 call that ended abruptly. We engaged pre-indictment, obtained the body cam and 911 audio, and measured the proof against the elements of felony strangulation. The complaining witness executed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we delivered to the State. With the witness residing out of state and the evidence insufficient to meet the felony standard, we pressed the prosecutor. The State dismissed the case pre-indictment.
