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.

Bexar County, SAMC Court 7

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.
