Assault Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

A noise complaint brought officers to a home after a verbal argument. The client briefly left to give a friend a ride and returned to find police already in the backyard, having come through a detached garage. He was arrested on an allegation that he struck his partner, though she did not want charges and had hand injuries from an earlier sports mishap. We obtained medical records and photos confirming those injuries predated the incident, highlighted the lack of visible injury on body-cam, and challenged the warrantless entry. After we pressed these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Comal County, CC1

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after a late night of drinking. The client was accused of choking and striking a person who lived there. He suffered a broken nose, had little memory of events, and there were no independent witnesses, with both parties intoxicated. We obtained the 911 call, bodycam, hospital records, and the police report, highlighting evidentiary gaps and the client’s injuries. After sustained negotiations, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser misdemeanor with probationary terms.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Bexar County, DC175

Allegations

During a contentious child support dispute, our client was arrested after a scheduled child exchange and accused of sexual assault tied to a past relationship. We obtained CPS and law enforcement records, lined up the timeline with family-court filings, and identified credibility issues and a strong motive behind the complaint. We compiled inconsistencies between initial reports and later statements and put that in front of the prosecutor. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

During a late-night ride-share trip, the driver reported that the passenger threatened serious harm and called 911. Officers detained our client nearby and documented the allegation as a terroristic threat. We obtained the police reports and the 911 recording, scrutinized the language used and whether the facts met the required element of imminence. At the same time, we moved quickly on mitigation, guiding the client through a counseling course and collecting strong character letters. Leveraging both, we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2, Place 1.

Allegations

During a hospital visit for a family medical emergency, a dispute with our client’s former partner’s companion escalated and officers were called. The client acknowledged physical contact and later received a Class C assault citation by mail. We stepped in, gathered the client’s photos, videos, and messages documenting prior unwanted contact by the complainant, and confirmed a clean criminal history. We presented that context and the client’s cooperation to the prosecutor, pressing for a constructive resolution. The case was resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, 466th District Court

Allegations

Police alleged our client committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after a motorcycle crash in which a passenger suffered serious injuries. The report claimed intoxication and rider error caused the wreck during a U-turn. We dug into the scene evidence, noted the damage pattern on the motorcycle, and retained an accident reconstruction expert. The expert’s analysis supported that a sudden weight shift by the passenger caused the fall. We paired that with documented issues in the hospital blood draws and pressed the DA. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a felony conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

A domestic argument after a late night gathering escalated when our client threw an empty can and pushed her spouse, then called 911 after being struck. Officers arrived and, despite noting no injuries on the complainant, arrested our client as the aggressor. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera footage, and statements, which showed limited corroboration, inconsistencies from a peripheral witness, and that the complainant did not wish to pursue the case. We pressed these weaknesses with the DA and prepared for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence. The client left during the argument, returned to find the door locked, and forced entry, after which police arrested him based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We obtained the 911 audio and body-camera video, noted the absence of documented injuries and multiple inconsistencies, and pushed to ease restrictive bond conditions. As trial neared, the court limited live testimony and the state leaned on the 911 call. We leveraged those evidentiary issues to negotiate deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, SAMC Court 7

Allegations

After receiving a mailed citation for Class C assault stemming from an encounter during a massage, the client contacted us before the first setting. We obtained the report, which relied largely on the complainant’s statement that he made offensive contact, and engaged the prosecutor about the evidentiary gaps. Rather than risk a conviction, we negotiated deferred probation with informal conditions, including completion of classes and a no-contact term, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.
