Burglary of a Habitation

Allegations

Police opened a burglary investigation after property went missing from an apartment the client had access to through work. The client spoke with a detective, acknowledged taking the items, and returned them. A warrant issued for burglary of a habitation followed. We got involved immediately, opened a line with the investigator, and documented that the client had permission to be inside the residence. After we presented that context and the return of property, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, D297

Allegations

The case began when a detective contacted our client about jewelry taken from a residence the client had been allowed to enter for work. The client had already spoken to the detective and returned the items. We stepped in early, opened a dialogue with law enforcement, gathered the reports, and emphasized full cooperation, recovery of the property, lack of criminal history, and the limited value involved. We pressed the state on proof of intent and the practical impact of restitution. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Tarrant County, North Richland Hills MC

Allegations

The client was cited for Class C theft after a store incident. They paid for certain items but left with a few low value goods still in a pocket, then were contacted by officers later. Our team moved quickly, secured the evidence, and emphasized the minimal loss and circumstances indicating an oversight rather than intent. We pressed for a resolution that did not require a plea. The State agreed to dismiss if the client finished an anti-theft class and remained arrest free for a short period. The client completed the steps, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Theft (Third-Degree or State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Police alleged our client committed felony theft after a dispute with a vehicle dealership following service work. We obtained the reports and the dealership’s records, including repair paperwork and communications about possession of the car. Our review showed it was a contractual business disagreement, not a crime, and the evidence did not establish an intent to permanently deprive. We compiled the paper trail and presented it to the prosecutor, pressing the civil nature of the matter. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (Class A or Class B Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

An online marketplace meetup went sideways when the client picked up a small household item and headed to withdraw cash, but the seller left before payment could be completed. A warrant issued and the case was filed. We got involved immediately, coordinated a safe plan to clear the warrant, and obtained discovery. We gathered proof of the cash withdrawal and framed the incident as a misunderstanding, with the client ready to make the seller whole. After negotiations with the prosecutor, the case resolved in deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

Police alleged the client took part in a robbery with others and that a co-participant displayed a gun. After the arrest, officers accessed a phone and cited text messages to claim she planned the incident. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the messages, and showed they were ambiguous and did not prove she aided, encouraged, or anticipated a weapon being used. We emphasized her clean record and that she never possessed a weapon. Using those points in negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge to reflect her limited role.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Tarrant County, Benbrook Municipal Court

Allegations

At a retail self checkout, the client accompanied a family member who was operating the scanner. The kiosk kept alerting and a store attendant came over several times, assuring them everything was fine. A small item tucked in a bag went unscanned, and both were issued a citation for a low dollar theft under 100. The client has no prior record and did not handle the checkout. We took over court communications promptly and focused on the lack of intent and the attendant’s role. Faced with those circumstances, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Theft (Class C)

Location

Tarrant County, Benbrook Municipal Court

Allegations

Loss prevention detained the client after a retail self-checkout when a few low-value items failed to scan. The client had asked the attendant for help and, with hearing issues, believed everything was properly rung up. We obtained the citation file and surveillance, highlighted the lack of intent and the client's reliance on staff, and pressed those points with the prosecutor. The state offered a deferred disposition with short probation, a theft awareness course, and a modest fee. The client accepted deferred probation.

Charges arose from a rental vehicle that was not returned after it reportedly broke down. The client left the car and later faced a felony theft allegation. After a traffic stop in another state, a warrant brought the client back to face the case. We entered quickly, met with the client in custody, secured the discovery, and pressed the state on proof of intent to deprive and the value range. Following negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication probation, allowing the client to avoid a conviction if all terms are completed.

We submitted a detailed packet identifying those individuals and arranged full restitution to the complainant. The prosecution dismissed the case.
