Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, 226th District Court

Allegations

Our client was indicted for felony stalking after contentious messages and disputed contact involving an ex and a third party. We organized the communications, put them in the context of an ongoing custody fight, and showed why a felony theory overreached the facts. While acknowledging some harassing conduct, we pressed the State on proof gaps and proportionality. The prosecution agreed to reduce it to misdemeanor harassment with no conviction, and a remote plea was allowed. The client received deferred probation with classes and community service, the ankle monitor came off, and supervision was handled virtually.

Charge

Application for Protective Order (Civil)

Location

Bexar County, 166th District Court

Allegations

Following the end of a relationship, the complaining witness filed a civil protective order alleging repeated unwanted contact. We got involved right away, obtained the application and sworn affidavit, and compared those claims to later communications and the witness’s updated position. Our review showed key inconsistencies and, importantly, that the witness no longer wanted an order. We met with the protective order prosecutor, provided the records, and challenged the evidentiary basis. The State nonsuited the case and the court dismissed the application.

Charge

Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material

Location

Bexar County, DC187

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, the complainant reported that our client threatened to share intimate images that had been exchanged during their relationship. He had forwarded the photos back to a phone she used, not realizing it synced to a work account, and nothing was ever posted publicly. We gathered the message history and context showing no actual publication and highlighted the ongoing co-parenting issues. After multiple settings and negotiations, the State agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, CC7

Allegations

After a volatile breakup, the client was arrested for harassment based on a flurry of phone calls to an ex. We pulled the call logs and messages and showed that, after that night, communication was two way and often initiated by the complainant. Our team also secured third party records and a witness from a local gym that undercut the accuser’s timeline of events. We organized the chronology, highlighted the inconsistencies, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

Our client was arrested for public intoxication after a dispute with a bouncer outside a bar, and officers documented signs of intoxication and confrontational language. The client lived hours away, so we immediately filed representation, reset the appearance date, and obtained the body camera and arrest paperwork. We compared the officer’s narrative to the video and challenged whether the elements of the offense were met. After focused negotiations with the prosecutor, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Bandera County, 198TH DC

Allegations

Police linked our client to a late night entry into a private property after an earlier encounter, later finding miscellaneous items in the vehicle. The client had been off prescribed medication, was in crisis over a family matter, and had little memory of the events. We gathered treatment records, documented years of sobriety, and showed immediate willingness to pay restitution. We highlighted the lack of purposeful planning and the client's cooperation after contact. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was arrested after a dispute at a campground where he admitted making a rude comment about a manager and was accused of following the manager’s spouse. He denied any stalking, and the arrest relied mainly on brief encounters and a few witness statements. We secured the police report, compared the accounts line by line, and challenged whether the statutory elements of harassment were satisfied. We engaged the prosecutor early, emphasized the lack of probable cause and credibility issues, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case in full.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

Another driver followed and accused the client of causing damage after a minor encounter. No officer ever responded, the client was never ticketed, and the client’s vehicle showed no visible damage. Months later a warrant was issued and a case was filed for collision involving damage. We moved fast to clear the warrant, secured the client’s video of the exchange, and underscored the lack of corroborating evidence and credibility problems in the complaint. Faced with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Comal County, New Braunfels Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after officers alleged visible impairment in a public area. We obtained the report, scrutinized the elements of the offense, and opened negotiations. The client asked about time served, but the state would not agree and the court would only consider it after a plea, creating real risk of a higher fine. We highlighted steps the client had already taken and pressed for leniency. The case resolved with deferred probation, a short class requirement, and no conviction.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC13

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after returning to a former partner’s residence and later exchanging messages, which led to an arrest for prohibited contact. We obtained the police reports, 911 audio, and body camera footage and built a timeline of any communication. During the case, the related civil protective order was nonsuited and the complaining witness indicated they did not wish to proceed. We presented those developments and evidentiary weaknesses to the prosecution. The State dismissed the misdemeanor VPO.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Kendall County, None

Allegations

During a domestic dispute, the partner began filming, and the client reached for the phone. Responding officers later arrested the client for family violence based largely on the partner's initial account. We got involved immediately, requested the evidence, and documented the disputed facts and lack of intent to injure. We also informed the prosecutor that the complainant did not wish to proceed and highlighted the absence of corroborating proof. Facing these issues, the prosecution rejected the case and it was dismissed.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 131ST DC

Allegations

A petition for a civil protective order was filed after a disputed incident. We pulled the filings and scrutinized the affidavit and proposed terms. Our team objected to overbroad provisions and to language suggesting unproven other acts, and made clear we would not agree to any family violence finding. We pressed the petitioner for corroboration and prepared to litigate the evidentiary gaps rather than accept a one-sided order. After continued pressure and multiple settings, the other side stood down and the court dismissed the case.
