Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

A new arrest from a domestic dispute triggered a probation revocation and an arrest warrant. We moved quickly to secure a bond and address restrictive conditions that kept the client from returning home. Our team gathered documentation from the complaining witness and case records, and the underlying charges were later no-billed by a grand jury. We used that result to press the prosecution to abandon the revocation. The motion was dismissed and the client’s supervision continued without additional penalties.

Charge

Terroristic Threat - Causing Fear of Imminent Serious Bodily Injury

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

After a heated delivery dispute, the complaining witness came to our client's door with another person. The client, still inside her home, opened the door with a holstered firearm pointed downward and denied ever pointing it at anyone. Officers arrived later, so no officer witnessed the alleged threat. We engaged early, pressed for the phone-call recordings and any door camera video, and dissected the complainant’s statements against our client’s account. Confronted with credibility problems and thin corroboration, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Fort Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

Police were called after a bar altercation where security escorted our client outside, and an officer intervened and arrested for public intoxication. Our client's account of the escort conflicted with the officer's version. We reviewed the report with the client and pursued the location's surveillance video referenced by staff. We also highlighted the lack of prior record and other mitigation in negotiations. The prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record if successfully completed.

Charge

Possession of a Firearm While Under the Influence

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a missed turn signal, officers began a DWI investigation. A handgun was found in the vehicle, and despite the client having a carry license, the state filed a charge for possessing a firearm while under the influence. We obtained the dash and body camera video and reports, scrutinizing the basis for the stop, how the weapon was discovered, and whether the statute actually applied. We presented those weaknesses and signaled readiness to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D485

Allegations

Police ran an online sting using a website ad. After a brief text exchange setting a meetup, the client went to the address, knocked, and was detained by officers waiting inside. No money changed hands, and the phone messages were limited and ambiguous. We obtained the reports and digital evidence, scrutinized whether the elements of solicitation were actually met, and questioned the basis for detaining and arresting him. We also emphasized the client’s clean record. After sustained negotiations, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Engaging in Organized Crime

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

Our client was detained on a Texas warrant alleging involvement in a multi-person wire scheme. Investigators tied several transfers to an account in the client’s name and pointed to ATM stills they claimed matched an ID photo. We reviewed the warrant affidavit and bank records, then dissected how the accounts were linked, highlighting an outdated address, a long-abandoned account, and ambiguities in the image identifications. Leveraging those credibility gaps and the client’s clean history, we negotiated deferred probation to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

The client was stopped for a taillight issue during a routine patrol. While the client was made to sit aside, the officer searched the vehicle and later had it towed, reporting that a handgun was found. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the length of the detention, and the justification for the vehicle search that led to the discovery. We presented those problems to the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

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

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

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

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.
