Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

A stop for a license plate light issue led to a DWI investigation. The officer noted slow speech and lethargy, administered roadside tests, and the client later consented to a blood draw. Discovery showed minimal alcohol, with THC metabolites and methamphetamine detected. We obtained medical records documenting a traumatic injury and mental health treatment that affect speech and motor control, reviewed the body and dash camera video, and contested whether the state could prove drug related intoxication at the time of driving. The case was reduced to obstruction of a highway with deferred probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

Facing a felony motion to revoke deferred probation after multiple positive drug tests and being taken into custody at a probation visit, the client sought our help. We obtained the probation file, documented a long stretch of earlier compliance, and compiled mitigation from family along with a concrete treatment and housing plan. We engaged the probation officer and the prosecutor, pushed back on revocation as unnecessary, and made clear we were prepared to litigate if needed. The state dismissed the motion to adjudicate, and the client remained on probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, D396

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a home. Officers found a cut hand, blood on a rifle the client had moved, a single spent casing in a study, and a small mark on a screen, and concluded a shot had been fired. The complainant’s accounts changed over time and later an affidavit of nonprosecution was provided. We dissected hundreds of photos and recordings, highlighted the lack of any bullet strike or medical corroboration, and prepared for trial while rejecting offers. After we supplied proof of completed anger management, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Stopped for a registration issue near a gas station, the client was investigated after officers saw an open container. The client admitted drinking, performed roadside tests, and provided a breath sample over .15. We obtained the state’s evidence, compiled mitigation showing substantial family hardship and ongoing responsibilities, and opened negotiations early. Emphasizing workable probation conditions, we persuaded the prosecutor to drop the over .15 enhancement. The charge was reduced to a lower DWI with straight probation.

Charge

Continuous Violence Against the Family

Location

Tarrant County, CDC2

Allegations

The client was arrested during a scheduled visitation after an ex-partner alleged repeated family violence. The accusation surfaced amid a contentious custody dispute and followed the client reporting missed exchanges. We obtained and reviewed body-cam footage and messages, noting shifting explanations, vague timelines, and an unverified prior incident. The text screenshots lacked authenticating data, and there were no witnesses or corroborating records. We compiled these credibility and proof problems and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, 371st District Court

Allegations

The case began as a dispute over payment for a home improvement project. The client accepted checks while the project was paused, then faced serious health issues and lost access to the old email, which caused missed messages and a warrant after later contact with police. We obtained the file and assembled medical records, character letters and a timeline, plus the original paperwork that had been misplaced. We highlighted the lack of intent to deprive and that this was a civil dispute, and made clear restitution could be arranged. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

The case began when a detective opened an inquiry into an alleged encounter at a conference hotel, with reports of heavy intoxication and fragmented memories afterward. Before any filing, we stepped in, routed all contact through counsel, and secured the client’s messages, hotel surveillance, and names of witnesses from the group that night. We emphasized inconsistencies and the lack of clear proof of nonconsent, and prepared materials for prosecutorial review. As the matter advanced, we kept pressure on the state and negotiated the charge down to a lesser offense with deferred probation, avoiding a felony conviction.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After a single-vehicle incident, officers searched the car while responding and pulled a holstered handgun from a bag. The individual was then charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon. Our team obtained the bodycam, dashcam, and reports, and traced exactly how and when the firearm was discovered. We challenged the legal basis for the search and raised issues with whether the facts satisfied the elements of the offense. After we laid out those problems and signaled readiness to litigate suppression, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After an equipment failure caused the client’s wheel to come off and airbags to deploy, officers arrived and conducted field sobriety tests. The client reported two drinks, felt tired and in pain, and asked for clarification during tests the officer poorly demonstrated. We secured dash and body camera video and hospital records, then scrutinized the blood draw and supporting paperwork for protocol issues. Citing the crash dynamics, injuries, and questionable FST administration, we pressed the state on proof. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding a final conviction.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Police were called to a pool hall after staff reported our client would not leave, and the encounter ended with an arrest for state jail felony drug possession under one gram. Once hired, we demanded full discovery, including body camera footage, surveillance from the location, and all witness statements. The evidence left serious questions about the basis for the detention and how the substance was discovered and tied to our client. We prepared a suppression strategy, highlighted the inconsistencies to the prosecutor, and made clear we were ready for a hearing. Confronted with those issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

An online sting led to brief text exchanges and an arrest at a hotel. The messages never spelled out specific sexual acts or a clear sex for money agreement, and in a recorded interview the client did not admit one. We obtained the reports, body cam footage, and the full text thread, then highlighted the missing elements the state needed to prove. We also presented strong mitigation and documented serious immigration consequences. After sustained negotiations focused on these evidentiary gaps, the prosecutor dismissed the case. No plea and no probation, with eligibility for expunction in time.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when the state moved to revoke after a new arrest for alleged possession of a small amount of narcotics at a local venue. The petition sought prison time. We pulled the full probation file, verified months of compliance and program completions, and gathered mitigation about a recent family loss and the client’s effort to address addiction. We met with the prosecutor, challenged the requested term, and advocated for a limited sanction. The court agreed to a reduced disposition and credited all custody as time served.
