Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Comal County, CC1

Allegations

The client was facing a motion to revoke probation tied to an older DWI case. After traveling for work, they believed everything was finished except a small unpaid balance, but the petition also claimed missed classes, community service, check ins, and a dirty test. We pulled the probation file, verified what had and had not been done, and opened talks with the prosecutor. We arranged immediate completion of the remaining classes and service, obtained a clean UA, and provided proof. With those issues cured, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Caldwell County, E0724073

Allegations

Officers responded to a welfare check at a residence after the client had returned home. They documented signs of intoxication and made a public intoxication arrest. Our team dug into the police reports and emphasized that the contact occurred at a private residence, not a commercial area, and pressed the weaknesses in the allegation. We kept steady pressure in negotiations. The state offered deferred probation, avoiding a conviction. The client accepted, agreeing to remain offense free and handle court costs, with dismissal to follow on completion.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for an obstruction offense when probation alleged missed reporting, one positive alcohol screen, and a failure to appear that led to a warrant. We secured the violation report, showed that core conditions were completed, and documented the financial and transportation hardships behind the lapses. There were no new arrests and a strong compliance history on interlock and most UAs. We used those facts to push for withdrawal of the revocation filing. The state agreed, the court dismissed the MTRP, and the warrant was lifted without a surrender.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Atascosa County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The client was accused of driving with a suspended license after a minor traffic incident. He had already resolved a citation from the same event and was told there would be no further action, only to see a warrant issued later. We obtained his driving record and suspension history and confirmed the alleged suspension began after the stop, with no proof he had been notified. We compiled the records, highlighted the timeline problems, and pressed the prosecution. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, CC 13

Allegations

During a traffic stop, the client was found riding with the protected person despite a no contact order from an earlier incident. Officers arrested for violating the order based on their presence together, and no new threats or injuries were alleged. We obtained an affidavit of non-prosecution from the protected person and documented that the contact was voluntary. We pressed the state that incarceration was unnecessary and a conviction would be disproportionate. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, 175th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon after an airport checkpoint found a pistol in a backpack the client forgot was inside. A later warrant led to an out-of-state arrest, and we stepped in as counsel and demanded full discovery. We gathered records from the airport incident, confirmed lawful ownership of the firearm, and emphasized there was no intent to carry it where prohibited. We detailed evidentiary weaknesses and made clear we were prepared to litigate any search and seizure issues. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Continuous Family Violence

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic argument at a residence. Officers arrested our client for continuous family violence based almost entirely on the complainant’s initial statement, and an emergency protective order kept them apart. We moved quickly to collect the reports, document discrepancies in the complainant’s later account, and submit an affidavit of non-prosecution. We presented the credibility issues and lack of corroboration to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Guadalupe County, None

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at a residence, alleging the client prevented the other person from leaving. We got involved early, obtained and reviewed the police report, and addressed the no-contact restrictions. The complaining witness later submitted an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the State along with context that undercut the restraint allegation. We engaged the assigned prosecutor, highlighted evidentiary weaknesses, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

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.
