Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police alleged our client threatened a former partner during a driving encounter, then later threatened another person while passing a residence. The client consistently said no words were exchanged, the windows stayed up, and he only went around after being brake checked, then drove past without stopping. We dissected the police report and probable cause affidavit and showed there was no reliable evidence of a communicated threat or imminent fear beyond disputed statements. We pressed these weaknesses with the prosecutor and prepared for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Our client was accused of violating a protective order after officers found them at a residence they were ordered to avoid following a prior arrest. The client had returned to collect belongings, and the other party later came back and stayed there, an argument ensued, and police were called. We obtained the order, offense report, 911 audio, and bodycam, and compared the accounts. The materials showed mutual contact at the home and a disputed living arrangement, with key inconsistencies in the complainant’s statements. We presented those proof problems to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

After a night out, a domestic incident ended with a wellness call and our client was arrested for making threatening statements toward a household member. We got involved early, documented that there was no ongoing danger, and that the complainant did not wish to move forward. Our team prepared and presented an affidavit of non-prosecution and sought to relax a strict no-contact bond to a no-harm provision. We monitored the case closely and pressed for discovery. The prosecution ultimately declined to file, closed the matter, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Caldwell County, 421st District Court.

Allegations

While on felony probation, our client faced revocation after a polygraph flagged one question and probation alleged viewing sexual material on an unmonitored phone. We moved quickly, confirmed with the court and sheriff that no active warrant appeared despite a notice, and requested the underlying paperwork. Counsel engaged the prosecutor to pin down the claimed violations and stressed they arose from the client's own pretest disclosure about a private video, not a new offense. Following those talks, the prosecution dismissed the motion.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a heated, alcohol-fueled dispute where bystanders claimed the client made threats. We obtained the 911 audio, body-worn camera, and written statements. The recordings did not match the reports, and witnesses disagreed about what was said and whether anyone actually felt imminent danger. We organized those contradictions and pressed the state, making clear we were prepared to litigate the weaknesses. Confronted with credibility issues and thin evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a no-contact order was issued, a third party reported that the client and the protected person were together, and officers made an arrest for violating the order. We pulled the discovery and pinned down the scope and timing of the conditions. We documented the co-parenting context and that the contact was consensual. We presented this to the prosecutor, challenged whether the evidence proved a knowing violation, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a night of drinking, a dispute spilled into a parking lot and later a residence. Several people told police our client made threatening statements, and officers made an arrest for terroristic threat. We obtained and reviewed the police reports, body camera video, and 911 recordings. The evidence showed the accusations centered on words said during a chaotic, intoxicated encounter, with no physical injuries alleged. We presented our analysis to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

Police were called after a late-night dispute at a residence where multiple people claimed our client made threats of serious harm. No one was injured and officers arrived after the fact. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera video, and reports, and compared each witness account to what was captured on scene. The statements did not line up on what was said or whether anyone was placed in immediate fear, and there was no independent corroboration. We presented those problems to the prosecutor, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of Fraudulent Identification

Location

Caldwell County, None

Allegations

Our client was stopped by police, and officers reported finding paperwork they said indicated a false identity. The papers related to employment, and the client had not presented them to anyone. We pulled the reports and supporting records, showing there was no evidence of use or intent to defraud and pointing out inconsistencies in how the documents were described. We delivered our analysis to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate the defects. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Our client was accused of criminal trespass after returning to a residence tied to a prior dispute. Police had issued a trespass warning earlier, and when a neighbor called 911 the client stayed at the scene and was arrested. We obtained the reports, body-cam, and 911 audio, emphasizing there was no forced entry or damage, the client was cooperative, and the complainant initially hesitated about pressing charges. We leveraged those points in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 9

Allegations

Following a dispute at a private residence, the client returned after being told not to come back. Officers arrived while the client was still on the property and made an arrest for criminal trespass. We obtained the offense reports, 911 audio, and bodycam to pin down what was actually alleged and to show there was no damage, threats, or violence. We highlighted the client’s cooperation and proactive steps taken afterward. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Give Information

Location

Comal County, None

Allegations

Late at night the client clipped a parked vehicle on a dark, curvy street, panicked, and left without exchanging information. Detectives began calling, claiming video and vehicle debris tied to the car. We stepped in immediately, directed all contact through counsel, and kept the client from making statements. We examined the alleged footage and photos and pressed the state on its ability to prove who was driving, not just what car was involved. With those proof problems laid bare, the state dismissed the case.
