Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Wilson County, County Court at Law

Allegations

A family dispute over access to a parent’s home escalated when our client arrived with a locksmith and was confronted by relatives who began filming and claimed injury. Officers later arrested the client after a brief struggle in which a nail was torn, but no reliable evidence showed offensive contact causing bodily injury. We obtained and reviewed body cam video, 911 audio, and the relatives’ phone footage, and documented contradictions about who lived at the property and how the encounter unfolded. After we presented these credibility and proof problems, the State dismissed the case for insufficient evidence.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Wilson County, County Court

Allegations

A tense family dispute at a residence over control of family property led to an arrest when relatives alleged minor injuries during a struggle over a phone. We obtained the bodycam video, 911 audio, and the complainants’ own recordings, then compared them to their written accounts. The materials showed pushing and filming by the complainants and significant inconsistencies about who initiated contact and who actually lived at the home. We presented those contradictions and the property context to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case for insufficient evidence.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, \u200b437th District Court

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client learned a warrant had issued after alleged violations tied to a new arrest and missed conditions. We moved quickly to verify the timeline, obtain probation records, and collect proof of treatment, sobriety meetings, and steady employment. We set up a safe surrender with bond to keep them working, then met with the prosecutor to walk through a detailed mitigation plan and future compliance steps. Rather than revoke and impose jail, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication and continued supervision.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor (Investigation)

Location

Wilson County

Allegations

The client contacted us during an active investigation for alleged sexual assault of a minor after detectives interviewed him and seized his phone. We immediately entered the case, notified investigators that all contact must go through counsel, and advised the client not to submit to a polygraph. Our team pressed the agency on the legal basis for holding the devices, sought clarity on any warrants, and highlighted credibility problems in the outcry, including conflicting allegations noted in a related CPS matter. With no corroboration beyond statements and sustained pressure, the investigation was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers on bikes approached at a light, claimed to smell marijuana, detained our client, and searched, finding a pistol in the glove box. The marijuana charge was never pursued. We obtained the bodycam and reports, and scrutinized whether an officer could credibly pinpoint an odor from a closed vehicle in a busy area, and whether any Class B offense existed to support the weapon count. We prepared suppression arguments and emphasized the lack of a valid predicate offense. After firm negotiations and signaling we were ready to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a brief relationship ended, the client was accused of stalking based on claims of repeated contact and visits to a residence. We dug into the communications and obtained phone logs and messages showing the contact was mutual, including a long call where the complainant discussed meeting in the future. We built a detailed timeline and highlighted inconsistencies between the accusation and the communications. After presenting that to the prosecution and pressing the weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state filed to revoke, alleging unauthorized travel for work and an ankle monitor issue after police removed the device during a prior arrest. He was detained at an airport when a dispute led to a warrant check. We pulled the allegations, documented the employment opportunity, and explained the monitoring device dispute, showing the issues arose from supervision, not a new offense. We proposed treatment and pushed for a nonrevocation outcome. The state agreed to drop the action and the court dismissed the motion, securing his release.

Charge

Unlawful Possession of a Firearm (Prior Family Violence Conviction)

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

During a visit to a residence, officers saw a handgun and arrested our client for unlawful possession tied to a prior family-violence conviction. We moved quickly to show the gun was not the client’s, submitting a notarized ownership affidavit and purchase records, along with a statement from the property manager that the client did not live there and had reported a different address to supervision. We leveraged these facts with the prosecutor and secured a probation outcome.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

The client was charged with violating a protective order. Our review of filings and service logs showed the alleged violation predates any arrest and that the client had never been served with the order. Call records also reflected ongoing contact initiated by the complainant, undercutting any claim that he knowingly violated an order. We organized a detailed timeline and put those service and credibility issues in front of the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 408th Civil District Court

Allegations

A civil application for a protective order was filed against our client after a relationship ended. He had never been served and the applicant continued to take his calls. We secured the file, managed settings by Zoom when needed, and built an evidence packet of call logs, messages, and photos documenting ongoing, consensual contact and credibility problems. We laid this out to the attorney handling the matter and made clear we were ready to litigate. The application was dropped and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was accused of violating terms after a pistol and a small amount of drugs were found at a residence during a move. We acted fast, seeking a bond and collecting affidavits. The family supplied firearm purchase records showing it was theirs, and property management confirmed the client no longer lived there. We documented the prior address change with supervision and attacked the proof of possession. Using that record, we negotiated a result that kept the client on probation rather than being revoked to prison.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

Police responded to a dispute at a residence. The complainant pointed to a series of calls and texts, and our client was booked for harassment. We obtained the bodycam and reports, highlighting gaps in how the phone records were preserved and adding context from prior communications. When the matter was later refiled with a warrant, we engaged the prosecutor and negotiated narrow no-contact terms with no family-violence finding and communication only through proper channels. After execution, the state dismissed the case and the warrant was cleared.
