Assault Case Results in San Antonio, TX

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 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 (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

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.

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 on a Pregnant Person

Allegations

The individual was arrested for violating bond/protective order after being found with their spouse during a traffic stop. Initial charges involved the alleged assault of the pregnant spouse. The spouse did not want to press charges.
