Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Discharge of a Firearm

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

Police were called to a neighborhood after reports of gunfire during a small gathering at a rented home. Officers alleged the client fired a 9mm into the dirt, a neighbor said they saw it, and two casings were recovered, while another person fired a rifle that chipped concrete. We obtained the 911 call and bodycam, tested whether the spot met the public place element, and compared witness claims to the video. We emphasized that the gun was secured before contact and that no one was threatened or injured. With targeted mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after officers contacted him in a hotel lobby and sidewalk area following a reported disturbance at a nearby restaurant. We obtained the officers' bodycam and asked the location to preserve its surveillance. The footage showed he spoke clearly, walked normally, and repeatedly said he was not leaving, contradicting the report that claimed he was a danger to himself or others. We highlighted those inconsistencies and pressed the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

False Information to a Police Officer

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After finding property missing and damaged, the client filed a report and identified a former partner who had access to the apartment without permission. When the relationship briefly resumed, he later asked the officer to drop the matter, and police charged him with making a false statement. We obtained the body-cam, reports, and the client’s emails and messages, showing he had a reasonable basis for the report and only sought to withdraw it later. We emphasized the delay in filing and the lack of proof of a knowing lie. At trial, we exposed the investigative gaps and secured a not guilty verdict.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 379th District Court

Allegations

While on felony community supervision for a prior drug case, the client was cited twice in another county for driving with an invalid license, and probation also alleged two positive UAs. After a warrant issued, we got a bond set and arranged processing through the satellite bonding office to minimize custody time. We met with the prosecutor and probation, presented recent clean tests and proof of enrollment in the class needed to regain a license. The court accepted our proposal, reinstating the client on deferred adjudication with heightened testing instead of adjudication.

Charge

Eluding a Police Officer

Location

Medina County

Allegations

Police claimed the driver failed to immediately pull over and filed an eluding charge after activating lights and siren. We obtained the dashcam and reports, which showed the vehicle’s hazard lights were already on, the driver slowed, moved into a turn lane, and stopped at the next light without accelerating away. We emphasized there was no intentional attempt to escape, only a brief delay to stop safely, so the elements of the offense were not met. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Kendall County, 498th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a freeway collision where officers alleged our client was weaving and cutting off other vehicles. We pulled the police reports and available dash and body camera, then lined those accounts up with the written witness statements. We challenged whether the documented driving actually met the legal standard for reckless, as opposed to momentary negligence, and identified gaps in the state’s proof. With those issues teed up and ready for litigation, we pressed the prosecutor in negotiations. The reckless driving charge was dismissed.

Charge

Fleeing or Attempting to Elude a Police Officer

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop for speeding, the client pulled over right away. When the officer ordered them out, the client asked why, and was arrested and charged with fleeing or attempting to elude. We secured the patrol report, pushed for the dash and body camera footage, and centered negotiations on the absence of any evasive driving. We made clear we were ready to litigate the elements and take the case to trial if necessary. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

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

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

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.
