Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Tarrant County, Fort Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

Police mailed our client a citation for assault by contact after a domestic dispute at a residence. The complainant arrived uninvited and intoxicated, and the client removed her after she began hitting him. We gathered the client's video clips and photos of fresh scratches and documented that she entered without permission and reported no injury. We highlighted that officers never came to the scene and relied on a phone account to issue the ticket. After we presented this evidence and asserted self-defense, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

While on probation for an older case, the client was served with a motion to revoke after a new allegation surfaced. We obtained the probation file and compiled evidence of compliance, including on-time reporting, paid fees, and clean tests. We compared those records against the alleged violation and found the revocation rested on an unproven new case rather than actual noncompliance. We presented this to probation and the prosecutor and pressed the issue. The State dismissed the revocation, and the client’s probation remained intact.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Child

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Police opened a case after a report that our client had sexual contact with a minor during a gathering at a residence. We obtained the discovery, including the complainant’s statement and later recorded interview, and mapped the timeline with messages the family provided. The accounts conflicted on key details and the outcry came well after the alleged event, with no corroborating physical evidence. We presented those credibility problems to the prosecutor and pushed back on the proposed prison term. The state agreed to deferred adjudication probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record if all terms are completed.

Charge

Harassment of a Public Servant (Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Officers were called to meet a flight after an in flight incident involving our client. While detained, the client became nauseous while handcuffed and vomited. An officer alleged the client intentionally spat on him, triggering a felony harassment charge. We gathered the reports, reconstructed the timeline, and centered the defense on lack of intent, showing the contact occurred during a medical episode. We pressed those issues with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft - Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

The client was detained by store personnel during a self checkout incident and accused of switching barcodes and missing scans, then arrested when officers responded. The client declined to provide a statement. We obtained discovery and broke down the loss prevention reports and receipts, pressing the state on admissible proof of intent and accurate valuation. With the case resting on civilian observations and paperwork, we signaled readiness to litigate. The prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Following a minor rear end crash, the client was arrested after admitting to having drinks and completing roadside tests. They told officers about a pre existing ankle injury that affected balance, and a blood sample was taken. We secured medical documentation, dissected the officers' reports, and showed how the injury undercut the field sobriety results. Using those weaknesses, along with the client's clean record and the minor nature of the crash, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop just minutes from home, our client was arrested for DWI and the state alleged a BAC over .15 from chemical testing. A first-time offender, the client quickly installed an ignition interlock and kept it clean, then completed the required DWI education and a victim impact panel. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the testing procedures, and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. Combined with the mitigation we assembled, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with straight probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

Police accused our client after an incident on a stairwell at a lodging property where a dog allegedly attacked a passerby. Prosecutors claimed he ordered the dog to bite and treated the animal as a deadly weapon. The client maintained the dog slipped loose, jumped up, and he called it back immediately, denying any command or serious injury. We pulled apart the state's narrative, pressing for proof of intent and clear evidence of a bite, and underscoring the gaps. Confronted with those issues, the prosecution reduced the case to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

After a disputed roadway encounter, the client was accused of using a vehicle as a deadly weapon. The other driver claimed a collision, but our client reported no contact and said he was trying to avoid an aggressive, brake checking vehicle. We located third party dashcam footage showing his truck close to the other car without impact and documented his prompt cooperation with investigators. We pressed the lack of intent and questioned the reliability of the complainant's account. Faced with these issues, the prosecution offered deferred probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

Following a heated traffic encounter, the complainant reported that our client hit their vehicle and they lost control, leading to an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge based on the car. We engaged early, opened dialogue with the investigator, and secured nearby dash camera footage showing the vehicles came close but never made contact. We paired that with the client’s cooperative statement and highlighted inconsistencies in the accounts. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

While driving for a delivery app at night, the client felt the car roll over an object in the road. Because traffic was heavy, they pulled over farther down to inspect the car and found no damage or blood. Passing back by later, they saw police activity in the area and worried they might be accused of leaving the scene. We were retained during the investigation, compiled the facts and monitored the case. With no evidence tying the vehicle to a collision, the matter was closed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Our client faced a second DWI accusation with enhanced penalties at stake. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, analyze the state's evidence, and identify pressure points in their case. We presented mitigation and negotiated directly with the prosecution, challenging whether the proof supported the enhancement. With that leverage, the state agreed to reduce the charge. The deal was structured as straight probation, sparing the client from the more severe consequences of a repeat DWI conviction.
