Charge

Assault - Class C

Bexar County, Justice of the Peace Precint 1

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after both sides contacted 911. The complainant alleged the client spit on them, and officers issued a Class C assault citation after a brief detention, with no bodily injury alleged. We obtained the police report and compared the accounts, underscoring how little evidence existed beyond the initial statement. The complaining witness later indicated they did not wish to proceed, which we documented for the prosecutor. Confronted with credibility issues and a thin record, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

An argument at a residence got physical. The complainant reported hair pulling and that the client grabbed her neck with one hand, and she also struck him with an object. At the station, the client gave a statement admitting parts of the incident. We dug into the police reports and custodial statements, emphasizing the mutual physical confrontation and the lack of reliable evidence to prove a strangulation offense beyond those statements. After sustained negotiations before indictment, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, the complainant alleged our client threatened them and claimed he spat on them. Deputies issued a Class C citation for assault by threat, and no physical injury was reported. We reviewed the incident reports and gathered subsequent communications showing the complainant did not wish to prosecute. We highlighted inconsistencies in the accounts and the lack of corroborating evidence, making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Continuous Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client for alleged continuous family violence, citing more than one reported incident. A strict no contact order and electronic monitoring were imposed. We moved quickly to obtain the record and worked with the complaining witness, who signed an affidavit of non‑prosecution and confirmed her injuries were from an unrelated fall, not an assault. We presented that to the prosecutor and pushed to relax bond conditions. With a non‑cooperating witness and weak proof, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation

Location

Bexar County, Criminal District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute at a residence. The client reported he was trying to leave when a struggle occurred, and the complainant went to the hospital the next day and alleged strangulation. We pushed for full discovery and built a timeline from texts, call logs, and police contacts that showed repeated outreach from the complainant despite a no contact order and conflicts with the initial account. We also obtained third-party video and messages reflecting prior volatility. Confronted with these credibility problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 227th DC

Allegations

On a crowded highway, a pickup cut off our client, brake-checked repeatedly, and then displayed a handgun toward the car. Fearing for safety, the client fired several shots, striking the truck but injuring no one. We obtained the discovery and highlighted that the complainant first denied having a gun, yet records confirmed he was armed. We framed the case around self-defense, documented our client's compliance on supervision and steady work, and pressed negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, police arrested our client based on an allegation that he brandished a firearm and made a threat. We secured the discovery and compared the complainant’s initial account to later statements, which shifted in key ways. The client’s family provided messages from the complainant that conflicted with the report and undercut claims of fear. We also documented prior incidents suggesting our client acted out of concern for his safety. We compiled these contradictions into an impeachment packet and pressed the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, 2025PF21516

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated to tossing soft items, and the client admitted throwing a trash can that broke. A 911 call brought officers, who noted a bruise on the partner's finger and made an arrest. The partner repeatedly told authorities she did not want the case pursued. We gathered the police records and a notarized affidavit of non-prosecution from the complaining witness, then presented it to the prosecutor and kept steady pressure. With limited corroboration and no cooperation from the complainant, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Peace Officer

Location

Bexar County, 144th DC

Allegations

Responding deputies arrived after a 911 hang-up at a residence and confronted our client in a driveway, believing he was blocking a car. A family member reported that officers forced him to the ground, used a Taser, and struck him, and never saw him hit an officer. He was taken to a hospital with a severely elevated blood sugar level and a broken nose, and he remembered little of the encounter. We obtained medical records and the witness account, highlighting the medical crisis and credibility issues. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with community supervision.

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

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

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.
