Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Tarrant County, CDC1

Allegations

After an online connection led to an accusation, the client maintained he believed the complainant was older. We launched an independent investigation, retained an investigator to reach the complainant and family, and collected messages showing how age was represented. We organized these materials, challenged credibility issues, and pushed back against early prison offers. With pressure applied and mitigation documented, the state agreed to deferred probation, avoiding prison and keeping a conviction off the record if successfully completed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC1

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, a motion to revoke was filed after a new arrest and alleged technical violations. Our team reviewed the case history and assembled mitigation, including proof of recent full-time employment. We engaged the prosecutor, narrowed the allegations to issues that could be addressed without custody, and pushed for continued community supervision. The client entered a limited admission, and the court imposed straight probation with adjusted terms instead of incarceration.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC1

Allegations

The state filed a motion to revoke the client's felony probation after alleged violations, including a new law allegation. We moved fast to collect favorable records, employment verification, and proof the client was addressing supervision requirements. We opened lines with the probation officer and prosecutor, challenging weaker allegations and proposing targeted modifications. At the hearing we argued rehabilitation outweighed revocation. The court kept the client on straight probation with adjusted terms.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony deferred for a collision involving injury, the client was accused of violating probation after a DWI arrest. We obtained the revocation packet and the new case materials, noting the blood draw occurred hours after the stop and came back near the legal limit, and that the resisting allegation was weak. We compiled mitigation about steady employment, school progress, and prior compliance, and pressed the State and probation for an alternative to prison. The initial push for incarceration shifted. The court continued the client on probation with a treatment‑focused sanction instead of revocation.

Charge

Resisting Arrest

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers suspected impairment and conducted field tests. When they announced an arrest, the client asked why and hesitated to turn around. Training officers then physically turned the client and added a resisting arrest charge. We dissected the arrest report and emphasized there was no attempt to flee or fight, only brief questioning and a momentary pause. Leveraging the lack of force and intent, we negotiated with the prosecutor. The case resolved with straight probation on the resisting charge, avoiding jail time.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Grapevine Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was approached by police in a parking lot outside a nightlife spot after sitting in a parked vehicle. They had briefly started the car and used a personal breathalyzer, then exited the driver’s seat to arrange a sober ride. The client declined to answer questions or perform roadside tests, was arrested for public intoxication, and the vehicle was towed. We obtained and reviewed the patrol videos, which showed no field tests, no admission, and no conduct suggesting danger to self or others. We also raised concerns about the basis for the detention and prepared for trial. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

After a domestic argument, officers arrested our client for interference with an emergency call. According to reports, he briefly tried to stop the complainant from calling, then stepped away, and she completed the call. We obtained the 911 audio, body camera, and written reports, which confirmed the call went through and that she later told officers she did not feel threatened. We compiled these facts and pressed the prosecution on the missing elements of the offense. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Rushing to make a connection after a gate mix up, our client briefly exited through a marked airport door and immediately reentered to reach the gate. Security detained the traveler and police filed a criminal trespass charge. We obtained the reports, showed how short the incident was, emphasized the client’s immediate compliance and lack of intent, and presented mitigation based on a clean record. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the case and credit time already served, closing it with no further jail.

Charge

Criminal Mischief ($2,500 to $30,000)

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

Police responded to a report of a break-in at a commercial building and found our client inside after a glass door had been shattered. He told officers he entered seeking safety, pulled a fire alarm to draw help, and had been drinking. The state filed felony criminal mischief based on the claimed repair cost. We obtained the reports, reviewed bodycam, and challenged the valuation while showing there was no intent to steal and arranging restitution funds to make the owner whole. After negotiations, the charge was reduced to a misdemeanor with credit for time served.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

Police responded to an alarm at a closed office building. Our client had entered through a damaged door after believing he was being followed and looking for safety. He pulled the alarm to summon help and walked toward officers on arrival, yet was arrested for criminal trespass. We gathered the police paperwork and available video, highlighting that he sought assistance, cooperated, and made no effort to remain inside. We pressed the state on its ability to prove a knowing unlawful entry given that timeline. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Selling Alcohol Without a License

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for a minor equipment issue, the client learned of a warrant alleging unlicensed alcohol sales tied to a prior raid at a BYOB after-hours venue where she had only worked as a dancer. She had never been cited at the raid and had no notice of a case, and even the warrant reflected the wrong birth date and address. We obtained the records from the raid and the booking, pressed for the state's proof of any sale, and highlighted the identification errors and absence of evidence showing she served or sold alcohol. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Duty on Striking a Structure, Fixture, or Highway Landscaping

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

After a late-night minor collision with a roadside median, the client left the area and was contacted by officers shortly after at a residence. No other vehicles were involved and no one was injured, but a damage claim to public property triggered a charge for failing to stop and report. We obtained proof that insurance would cover the repairs and addressed restitution concerns with the state. With those mitigations in hand, we negotiated deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.
