Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Comal County, CC3

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client was hit with a motion to revoke based on a string of ignition interlock violations and a push for an ankle monitor. We pulled the device logs, vendor incident reports, and tow and battery records that showed repeated malfunctions and contamination events. We also compiled proof of clean tests, completed classes, and steady community service. After disputing the reliability of the readings and signaling we were ready to litigate, the state backed off and dropped the motion. The MTRP was dismissed and the client avoided jail and new conditions.

Charge

Bribery

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped in a parking lot and later accused of bribery after an offhand remark during a wallet inventory. Officers removed cash to count it, and the remark was interpreted as an attempt to influence the arrest. We obtained the police reports and compared them to supplemental statements, noting the officer’s account shifted over time. We showed there was no explicit offer or quid pro quo and no act by the client to tender money. Confronted with weak proof of intent, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Guadalupe County, CC 2

Allegations

After a sting operation, the client was arrested for solicitation of prostitution when a video and name surfaced online. We obtained discovery, reviewed the arrest report and available footage, and closely examined how the contact and arrest were documented. We raised concerns about the operation's procedures and the online exposure, then pushed those points in negotiations. The state ultimately agreed to deferred probation, allowing the client to avoid a final conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid

Location

Bexar County, CC 9

Allegations

The client was stopped during a traffic patrol and cited for driving while license invalid. We obtained the officer’s report and the driving record, then mapped a timeline of the alleged suspension. The documentation did not match the date of the stop, and the state’s proof of notice and status was incomplete. We made clear we would challenge those elements and the admissibility of the evidence. Facing significant proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Minor in Possession of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, our client received a citation for minor in possession after the officer searched the vehicle and found a container in the back seat. The client did not consent to a search, and the citation itself reflected no search conducted. We obtained the videos and report, noted that the bodycam lacked audio and the dashcam showed careful driving, and highlighted contradictions in the paperwork. We challenged the legal basis for the search and the reliability of the officer's account. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Speeding

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was cited for speeding. We secured dash and body camera footage and the citation. The video showed steady lane control, and the body cam lacked audio, while the paperwork contained checked boxes and details that did not match what actually occurred. We confronted the prosecution with those discrepancies and questioned the reliability of the state's proof on speed. The state dismissed the speeding case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 175TH DC

Allegations

While on felony community supervision, the client was hit with a motion to revoke after missed reporting months and a new resisting arrest allegation that followed a traffic stop. We stepped in immediately, contacted probation, and pushed to avoid a second arrest warrant while the alleged violations were consolidated. Our team requested body worn camera and other records from the arrest and challenged the basis for the new allegation. We also documented the client’s recent efforts to get back into compliance. After negotiations with probation and the DA, revocation was set aside and the case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police alleged the client interfered during an active scene and arrested them for interfering with public duty. From the outset, the client insisted there was no basis for the charge. We obtained the incident materials and focused on whether the reported conduct actually hindered or obstructed officers as the statute requires. After pressing those issues with the prosecution and making clear we were prepared to litigate them, the state agreed it could not proceed and dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Injury

Location

Bexar County, 187TH District Court

Allegations

After a rear-end collision, the client parked nearby, briefly walked away, then returned as first responders arrived. The other driver later reported back pain and EMS responded. Prosecutors pursued a felony accident involving injury, alleging he failed to remain. We obtained the crash report and EMS records and emphasized that he returned, that his account referenced a memory lapse, and that the evidence did not clearly establish intent. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the charge and he received deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Harassment (Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

The client was investigated for harassment after sending texts and posting on social media accusing a family member of harming a child. We stepped in early, handled communications with the investigator, and compiled the texts, call history, and surrounding context showing there were no threats and that the statements related to reporting suspected abuse. We challenged the evidentiary basis and confirmed the complainants did not wish to proceed. The investigator marked the case unfounded, and it was dismissed.

Charge

Failure to Identify

Location

Comal County, County Court

Allegations

During an encounter with officers near a public waterway, the client was accused of failure to identify after giving a shortened last name and an incorrect birth date. Before the officer discovered the issue, she immediately corrected the information. We documented her consistent use of a single surname in everyday records and showed there was no intent to mislead, only confusion over a hyphenated name. We pressed the state on its ability to prove the elements beyond that brief mistake. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Kendall County, Boerne Municipal Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a welfare call and found our client asleep outside a business after drinking. He was not driving, had been dropped off by a companion, and had recently started a prescription that intensified the effects of alcohol. We compiled those facts, emphasized the non-driving, welfare-check context, and questioned whether the situation showed a danger to the public. After sustained discussions with the prosecutor, the state declined to proceed and the case was dismissed.
