Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

The client was arrested after an allegation that a protective order was violated through improper contact. The client maintained that all communication occurred on a parenting app and reported that the other party repeatedly came to places connected to the children. We compiled the app messages, police incident records, and the relevant court orders to highlight conflicting terms and the absence of threats or impermissible in‑person contact. We pressed the State on evidentiary gaps, documented the burden of GPS monitoring, and pushed for an alternative resolution. The prosecution agreed to pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction and resolving the case through program conditions.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Bexar County, CCL1

Allegations

After learning of an old allegation of leaving the scene of a minor collision, the client voluntarily appeared to address it. They had no memory of any crash and reported no damage to their vehicle. We obtained discovery on the case, which had been filed some time earlier, and demanded photos, repair invoices, and a clear identification linking our client to any impact. We challenged whether the state could prove damage above the statutory threshold and asked them to confirm contact with the complainant. Faced with those issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

When a felony motion to revoke was filed against our client on deferred adjudication, it rested on a single new allegation from an older, poorly defined incident. We moved quickly to secure a bond so the client could fight from the outside. We gathered probation records showing steady compliance and payments, and demanded the state's proof on the alleged violation. The evidence was thin and dated, and key details were unclear. After meeting with the prosecutor and challenging the basis for revocation, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CCL13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after arranging a tow to retrieve a vehicle from a residence covered by the order. He planned to meet officers first and believed the protected party was not present, but the tow operator proceeded, the resident called police, and he was arrested. We reconstructed the timeline, documented his efforts to coordinate through third parties and remain off the property, and clarified the scope of the order. Faced with the lack of intentional contact, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Open Container in a Motor Vehicle

Location

Wilson County, Wilson County Precinct 2 Justice-of-the-Peace Court

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers reported smelling marijuana and searched the car, then issued a citation for open container. The items were miniature liquor bottles found in a bag on the back floorboard, with several still sealed. We obtained the citation and reports, documented the location and condition of the bottles, and argued the state could not show the driver possessed an open container or that it was readily accessible. After we pressed these evidentiary issues with the prosecutor at the JP setting, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Forgery (Felony)

Location

Caldwell County

Allegations

The client was accused of forging multiple checks, with the amount alleged at roughly five thousand dollars. We pulled the file and found an affidavit from the complainant stating the client had permission to write the checks. That witness later became unavailable, further weakening the case. We demanded full discovery, including bank records, surveillance, and any handwriting comparison, and challenged the state's ability to tie the signatures to our client and prove intent to defraud. Facing those evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

Probation moved to revoke after the client missed multiple scheduled breath tests and received alcohol alerts on a monitoring device. The client self‑surrendered on the warrant and bonded out. We obtained the motion and underlying records, reviewed the testing data, and collected proof of completed classes. We presented a concrete compliance plan and mitigation to the prosecutor, pushing for continued supervision rather than jail. The court accepted deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 437th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested in separate incidents for a DWI and a drug case, triggering a motion to revoke. We met with the client in custody, reviewed the alleged violations and the status of the new cases, and prepared for the hearing. We assembled mitigation with family support and a concrete treatment and alcohol monitoring plan to address the root issues. In negotiations we emphasized rehabilitation and the limited sentencing exposure on the existing case. The court continued supervision, keeping the client on probation with added conditions.

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

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

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

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.
