Location

Bexar County, 144th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of felony theft after being linked to property allegedly valued between $2,500 and $30,000. We obtained the police report and discovery, then scrutinized whether the state could actually prove ownership, value, and intent.

Faced with these issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft - Felony

Location

Comal County, 207th District Court

Allegations

An older felony theft case alleged the client took another person's payment card. Once we were retained, we obtained the discovery, compared the narratives in the reports, and compiled extensive medical records documenting ongoing surgeries and treatment needs. We presented a detailed mitigation package and pushed for a resolution that preserved access to care and avoided incarceration. The state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record while they complete probation.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Live Oak Municipal Court

Allegations

Loss prevention at a retail store detained the client after checkout and police issued a Class C theft citation for low-value merchandise. The client had no record and declined to discuss an alleged prior price-tag incident. We quickly filed our appearance in municipal court, secured the reports and video, and built mitigation, including proof of a theft-awareness course and other proactive steps. In negotiations we emphasized background and acceptance of responsibility. The state agreed to a deferred adjudication with minimal conditions, set to dismiss upon completion and keep a conviction off the record.

Store loss prevention stopped the client over a low value item and officers issued a citation for Class C theft. The client was concerned about old theft history and the risk of enhancement. We got in early, tracked the filing, and at the first setting obtained discovery, including reports and any video, then conferred with the prosecutor. We emphasized the minimal loss, the time since prior issues, and the client’s cooperation. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon completion of terms.

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court.

Allegations

Our client was accused of burglarizing a closed building after going there with an acquaintance who said they had permission and produced a key to the gate. Surveillance showed others cutting a lock, but our client was not pictured entering or removing anything and was in a vehicle when the confrontation began. We reviewed bodycam and reports confirming the client flagged down police and repeatedly said they believed they were authorized to be there. We pressed the lack of evidence of entry or intent and raised credibility concerns about the supposed organizer. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Robbery (Felony)

Location

Bexar County, DC379

Allegations

The client was arrested on a robbery case that was later booked with a very high bond. We scrutinized the reports and assembled a detailed mitigation packet, including strong character letters from family and an employer, highlighting no prior record and a structured plan. The probation interview placed the client at low to moderate risk. To address concerns about influences, we proposed strict conditions such as GPS monitoring and home confinement. Using this, we secured deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Bexar County, 290th DC

Allegations

Police alleged that during an online marketplace meet-up for an electronics sale, the client lifted a shirt to reveal what appeared to be a handgun and took the item. We obtained the reports and available video, and emphasized that no one was injured and that the object displayed was a BB pistol according to the evidence. We assembled mitigation and engaged the prosecutor early to show this was a lapse in judgment, not a violent attack. Facing serious felony exposure, the client avoided a conviction. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and probation.

Charge

Forgery of a Financial Instrument

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Our client was accused of forgery tied to an older incident that resurfaced long after it allegedly occurred. We obtained the police report and discovery and examined the paperwork the state claimed connected the instrument to our client. The file lacked reliable identification and offered no solid link showing who created or presented the document. We compiled these deficiencies and pressed the prosecution on their proof problems. Faced with the evidentiary gaps, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Building

Location

Bexar County, 290th District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested on a burglary of a building case after officers alleged an unlawful entry tied to a theft attempt. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, scrutinized the police reports, and pressed the state on gaps in their proof. At the same time, we assembled mitigation, including character letters and proof of enrollment in classes, to show this was an isolated lapse and that the client was taking responsibility. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record if probation is completed.

Charge

Theft (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court

Allegations

Years after a store incident involving a small item under $100, our client learned a warrant had been issued for failure to appear. The client reported never receiving the citation or court settings because notices kept going to an old address. We pulled the file, tracked the attempted notices, and documented that the state had not exercised due diligence. We also stressed the evidentiary problems created by the case's age, including unavailable witnesses and video. After pressing these issues in negotiations, the state dismissed the charge and the warrant was cleared.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Bexar County, San Antonio Municipal Court 4

Allegations

An old municipal citation accused the client of shoplifting a small amount, but the client consistently denied any involvement and raised identity misuse concerns. Our team pressed for full discovery, including any body camera, surveillance, and identification documents linking the suspect to our client. We engaged the prosecutor, highlighting the weak identification and the age of the citation, and raised due‑diligence issues related to the lingering warrant. Refusing any pay‑and‑plead resolution, we kept the pressure on until the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

Loss prevention at a large retail store stopped our client after checkout, alleging several items were not scanned. Police took statements and opened a misdemeanor theft case supported by surveillance video and an itemized total consistent with a Class B charge. We immediately demanded discovery, reviewed the footage alongside register records, and pressed on timeline and valuation issues. Although the state maintained its evidence, we emphasized our client’s limited history and cooperation. The case resolved with deferred probation, avoiding a conviction upon successful completion.
