Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Bexar County, San \u200bAntonio Municipal Court

Allegations

During a work trip, the client became separated from friends after a few drinks. Officers later found the client asleep in a public area, transported them to a sobering facility, and issued a citation for public intoxication. We got involved quickly, obtained the citation and court setting, and coordinated appearances so the client would not have to travel. We scrutinized the officer’s account of the encounter and highlighted the client’s clean record and cooperation. After negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction upon successful completion.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

Police filed a stalking case arising from a strained dating relationship. While our client was on house arrest, the complainant repeatedly came to his residence, including an incident documented by responding officers who escorted her away. We gathered photos and witness information showing she initiated contact after the alleged conduct and compared that to her earlier statements. Taking a trial posture, we pressed the credibility gaps with the DA. Faced with those problems, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The charge arose from a domestic argument at a residence. When a door was pushed open, a family member behind it fell and suffered a minor bump, which officers treated as intentional assault. We gathered counseling records and CPS documentation showing the family had already addressed the incident and CPS closed its file, and secured statements describing the contact as accidental. We also highlighted errors in the paperwork and inconsistencies in the reports. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police alleged our client interfered with a 911 call during a household argument after a phone was briefly taken from the caller. We dug into the reports, call logs, and recordings to see what actually happened. The materials did not show that a call was prevented or that our client acted with the intent the statute requires. We compiled those gaps, along with context from the scene, and presented them to the prosecutor. Faced with a weak evidentiary record and a contested account, the state dismissed the interference case.

Charge

Injury to a Child, Elderly, or Disabled Individual

Location

Medina County, 454th District Court

Allegations

A family dispute at a home led to police involvement after a child was accidentally knocked down when a door was pushed open. The child had a minor injury, CPS got involved, counseling was completed, and CPS closed its file. Even so, a felony injury to a child case was filed. We gathered the CPS closure, counseling records, and statements showing it was an accident with immediate care. Leveraging the lack of intent, we negotiated deferred adjudication probation with reduced conditions and credit for prior classes, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Medina County, 454th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Our client was accused of felony theft stemming from prior employment at a financial services office, where several customers later claimed they paid extra cash fees not reflected on receipts. We obtained business records, till summaries, and prior audits showing the accounts balanced and the charges matched the receipts. The case file consisted only of statements, with no corroborating receipts or video for the alleged cash payments. We highlighted discrepancies and how complaints were developed through management outreach, undercutting reliability. Confronted with these proof problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 2

Allegations

Police charged our client with criminal mischief after a parking lot confrontation where the other party's vehicle was struck. The trouble started when that person waited outside the client's workplace, pulled on the client's door handle, and had a second car block the exit, after previously keying the client's car. We gathered surveillance video from the location, phone recordings, and a witness statement documenting the stalking, the door pulling, the blocking maneuver, and the prior vandalism. We presented the full record and argued the impact occurred while the client was trying to escape a threatening situation. Facing those facts and credibility issues, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a collision that caused property damage over $200. The incident followed ongoing harassment by another person who confronted the client, pulled on the car door, and had an associate block the client’s vehicle, striking it first. We obtained surveillance video, photos of prior damage, messages reflecting threats, and a supporting witness statement. We showed that the client left to reach safety and that the complainant initiated and escalated the encounter. After reviewing our materials, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Caldwell County, None

Allegations

The client was stopped while pulling out of a gas station after officers responded to a third-party report that he was headed to confront someone. Body-worn camera shows officers approached with guns drawn and immediately detained him. No officer reported seeing him drive recklessly, and there was no speeding citation or dash video corroborating the allegation. We obtained the 911 call and video, emphasized the lack of firsthand observation and proof, and signaled we were ready to litigate. The prosecutor dismissed the reckless driving charge.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Caldwell County, None

Allegations

During a traffic stop as the client pulled away from a gas station, officers searched the vehicle and reported finding plant material. The client told us the items were bought at a storefront, with portions still in sealed retail packaging, and one container holding loose material. We gathered purchase records and challenged whether the state could prove the substance met the illegal THC threshold. We also scrutinized the basis of the search and the handling of the evidence. After we presented these issues, the prosecution dismissed the marijuana case.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid

Location

Bexar County, China Grove Municipal Court

Allegations

Following a roadside stop, the client was cited for driving while license invalid after moving a vehicle a short distance to keep it from being towed. We requested the stop video from the municipal prosecutor and confirmed it captured the explanation given at the scene. We compiled that footage with documentation showing the license issue was being addressed and that the vehicle was no longer in use. Armed with this record and prepared to contest the elements, we pushed for dismissal. The prosecutor agreed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Open Container of Alcohol

Location

Comal County, New Braunfels Municipal Court

Allegations

During a contact near a public waterway, our client was cited for an open container violation after officers saw empty cans collected with a group's belongings. The police report showed the officer directed everyone to pick up litter, and the only container mentioned was associated with someone else. We obtained the citation and report, pointing out there was no observation of the client actually possessing alcohol. We challenged the sufficiency of the evidence and pressed the prosecution on the possession element. The case was dismissed.
