Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

After striking roadside construction, the client parked and went into a nearby business. Officers arrived on a report of erratic driving, noted open containers, and arrested for public intoxication after the client acknowledged drinking and later produced a marginal breath result at booking. We obtained the evidence, reviewed bodycam, and challenged whether the required danger to self or others was supported. We also documented the client’s immediate entry into treatment. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a reduced municipal charge with deferred probation and a lowered fine, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor

Location

Guadalupe County, County Court 2

Allegations

After a house gathering, officers alleged our client provided alcohol to a minor. Reports indicated another guest was mixing drinks for the group, and it was unclear who poured which beverages at any point. We underscored the absence of direct evidence that the client personally furnished a drink to the person in question. After we laid out those proof problems and made clear we were prepared to litigate them, the prosecution moved to dismiss the case.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Guadalupe County, 456th District Court

Allegations

After a late-night house gathering, a guest became ill and later alleged our client touched them inappropriately. He consistently said he only helped the guest and was never alone with them. We obtained the reports, tracked changes between initial statements and follow-ups, and highlighted the lack of forensic corroboration the state could rely on. Preparing for trial, we pressed these weaknesses in negotiations. The state agreed to deferred adjudication, allowing our client to avoid a conviction while completing probationary terms.

Charge

Speeding (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client received a Class C speeding citation. We entered an appearance, demanded the state’s evidence, and set the case for a contested setting. When discovery was not produced as required, we pressed the issue and made clear we were prepared to litigate. In discussions with the assigned prosecutor, we emphasized the evidentiary gaps and their burden to prove the alleged speed. The state elected to dismiss the case.

Charge

Unsafe Speed (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

During a highway stop, the client was cited for unsafe speed. Our team immediately requested the patrol video, the officer's notes, and all supporting speed evidence. When key discovery was still missing, we set the case for a contested setting and made clear we would challenge the proof. With incomplete evidence and pressure mounting, the prosecution dismissed the charge. The result kept a moving violation off the client's record.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Kendall County, 498th District Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers conducted field sobriety tests, placed the client in a patrol car, and searched the vehicle, where they located a handgun. The client reported never being told why the stop occurred. We obtained the videos and reports and pressed the state on the justification for the stop and the scope of the search that produced the weapon. After sustained negotiations, we secured a probation outcome that kept the client out of jail and placed them on community supervision.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Kendall County, 498th District Court

Allegations

The client was pulled over at night and, without a clear explanation for the stop, was moved to a patrol car while officers searched the vehicle and reported finding a small amount of marijuana. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the justification for the stop and the scope of the search, and flagged inconsistencies in how the encounter was handled. We also presented mitigation, including proof of counseling and character references. Faced with those issues and context, the state agreed to straight probation.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

After a nighttime traffic stop, officers searched our client's vehicle and claimed to find a controlled substance. The officer never explained the reason for the stop, and the report left key details unclear. We pulled the recordings and picked apart the timeline, challenging both the basis for the stop and the scope of the search. We also presented mitigation, including prompt enrollment in counseling and strong character letters. With that leverage, we secured a straight probation outcome on the felony.

Charge

Prohibited Substance in a Correctional Facility

Location

Kendall County

Allegations

After an arrest on an unrelated matter, our client was taken to the jail for booking. During the clothing change, a small amount of a controlled substance fell from a pocket and they were charged with introducing a prohibited substance into a correctional facility. We examined the timeline from transport through intake and identified that no pat down occurred and there was no clear advisement to declare contraband before entry. Leveraging those procedural gaps in negotiations, we avoided incarceration and secured straight probation.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

Our client was accused of indecent exposure after an encounter in a park area. He said he stepped into the brush to relieve himself, was approached by a plainclothes officer, and later detained by responding officers. We obtained the police reports and both body camera and undercover video, then walked the client through the strengths and risks. We assembled mitigation, including medical records explaining urinary urgency, and emphasized his clean history. After firm negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Speeding

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a traffic stop, our client was cited for speeding. We immediately requested full discovery on the stop and the basis for the citation, including reports and any video. When the State failed to produce the materials after repeated follow-ups, we kept the matter on the docket to force an answer and maintained pressure on the prosecution. Faced with proceeding without required evidence, the prosecutor submitted a dismissal. The speeding citation was thrown out, leaving nothing pending.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a period of virtual supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke when their probation officer stopped responding and, after a job loss, they fell behind on fees, classes, and a device requirement. Months later, a routine traffic stop led to an arrest on the warrant. We compiled emails showing attempts to report, community service records, class registrations and certificates, and documentation of financial hardship. We prepared the client for testing and presented this mitigation to the state and the court. The case resolved with a reduced violation and a time served outcome, avoiding additional jail and ending supervision.
