Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Grapevine Municipal Court

Allegations

After a fall at a busy airport, our client was arrested for public intoxication. Officers attributed the collapse to alcohol, even though no breath or blood test was taken. The client reported a significant medical condition and injuries from the fall, and had consumed a single drink earlier in the day. We gathered medical records, travel timeline details, and documentation of the injuries, and the client completed a voluntary education course. We presented the full packet and challenged the basis for the charge. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to an arrest for interfering with an emergency call after the complainant said the phone was slapped from their hand. We dug into the police reports and photos and documented that the contact and phone incident happened during a brief, heated exchange. The complainant later signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the DA. Using the evolving account and limited evidence of intent, we pressed for relief. The state reduced the charge, and we negotiated deferred probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Police were called after our client attempted to remove a vehicle he believed was subject to repossession and a window was broken to get it out of park. He was charged with criminal mischief for the alleged property damage. We obtained the reports, towing communications, and shop records to show this was a tow request in context, not a malicious act. We also questioned the valuation of the damage and whether the state could prove intent. After arranging prompt restitution to address the minor repair, we presented our mitigation to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

False Statement to a Police Officer

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Police were called during a vehicle pickup dispute, and the client was accused of giving a misleading account about who was handling the car. We secured the police reports, recordings, and dispatch notes, then compared the client’s statements to other accounts and the timeline. That analysis exposed credibility problems and gaps in proof that any statement was knowingly false or material to the investigation. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Euless Municipal Court

Allegations

While visiting family, our client was outside a store with friends after staff refused service to someone in the group. Police arrived in response to an argument involving another person, and despite our client standing away from the disturbance, officers detained everyone. He admitted to having a few drinks earlier, but no field tests or breath tests were performed. We obtained the reports and bodycam, highlighting no signs of impairment and no danger to self or others. After pressing the prosecutor and signaling readiness for trial, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony deferred probation, the client faced a motion to revoke after an alcohol violation and a diluted test. We moved quickly, opened dialogue with the probation office and prosecutor, and secured written acceptance into a residential substance use program that allowed passes for required probation check-ins. We also helped the client clear outstanding obligations and built a concrete compliance plan. The state agreed to continue the case on deferred probation with treatment conditions.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

Our client was arrested for criminal mischief after allegedly splashing coffee on property at a public venue. We obtained the incident materials and scrutinized whether the state could prove actual damage and the required valuation element. We also documented the client's mental health concerns at the time and presented that mitigation. After sustained negotiations, we emphasized gaps in proof and context that undercut intent. The prosecution elected to dismiss the case.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

An out of state warrant led to our client being arrested and held for extradition on an allegation of aggravated sexual assault. The client consistently maintained they were away from the area when the incident was said to have occurred. We moved quickly to secure employment verification and scheduling records from the employer confirming the client was working out of state during the relevant period. We presented this alibi package to the prosecutor and pressed the timeline issues. With the evidence undermining the accusation and no prior record, the State 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

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.
