Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Euless Municipal Court

Allegations

Police were called to a hotel parking lot where the client was found asleep in the driver seat of a parked vehicle after having drinks. He cooperated throughout, but officers concluded he was intoxicated in a public place and issued a citation. We obtained the bodycam and reports and challenged whether he posed a danger to himself or others, the key element of the offense. When the state declined to dismiss, we negotiated a short, non-reporting deferred probation with a fine, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

Probation moved to revoke after a multi agency search led to an arrest in another county and a series of technical alerts, including GPS exclusion zone pings and a few late or missed breath tests. We pulled the supervision file, interlock logs, and monitoring records and showed the client was otherwise compliant and that no new case had been filed. We worked with probation to correct the zone settings and cure any reporting issues. Confronted with those gaps and due process concerns, the prosecutor dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested in another jurisdiction during a broader investigation. Probation tightened conditions with GPS monitoring and alcohol testing and filed a motion to revoke. We pulled the probation file and device logs, corrected misinformation about exclusion zones and alleged missed blows, and documented ongoing compliance. We also pressed the prosecutor on the absence of any filed new case to support a violation. After negotiations with probation and the State, the court dismissed the motion to revoke and the client remained on probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after observing a vehicle exit behind a closed business and make a wide right turn. Field sobriety testing followed, despite the client’s rheumatoid arthritis affecting balance. No breath sample was taken roadside, and a blood draw was performed later under a warrant. We obtained the videos and reports and challenged the legality of the stop and the reliability of the testing in a suppression hearing. Although the court sided with the state, we used the client’s clean alcohol monitoring and proactive treatment to negotiate straight probation, with removal of the ankle monitor and time to arrange any jail condition.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

The client was arrested out of state on a Texas warrant after investigators linked deposits and transfers to a bank account in her name. She reported that an acquaintance had accessed the account. We compiled bank records, statements, and surveillance showing the cash withdrawals and electronic transfers were executed by third parties, not our client. We submitted a detailed packet identifying those individuals and arranged full restitution to the complainant. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CDC4

Allegations

The client was arrested on a felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We stepped in quickly, obtained the discovery, and dissected the officer accounts and timeline. We engaged the prosecutor early, pressed on whether the evidence satisfied the elements the State would need to prove at trial, and made clear we were prepared to litigate. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case, and the client did not have to return to court.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a single‑vehicle incident that caused minor property damage. Officers responded to a 911 call, noted indicators of impairment, administered field sobriety tests, and obtained a consensual blood draw following a breath test refusal. The result later came back well over .15, increasing exposure. We obtained the body cam, dash cam, 911 audio, and lab records, ensured bond compliance with an interlock, and front‑loaded alcohol education. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved with straight probation and no jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, County Criminal Court 8

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for speeding, the client admitted to having two drinks and was asked to perform field sobriety tests. They reported doing well on two of the tests, then stumbled on a third that did not match the standard one-leg stand. At the station, a blood sample was taken after the officer framed consent as necessary to avoid an automatic license suspension. We scrutinized the officer's testing instructions and the consent advisement, and highlighted weaknesses in the proof of impairment. With no prior record, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a final conviction.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

While on felony probation from a prior THC cartridge case, the client missed several check-ins and had outstanding community service, prompting a motion to revoke and a warrant. We confirmed all supervision fees were paid, collected documentation of his community service efforts, and opened direct talks with the prosecutor. We addressed the absences with context and mitigation, and proposed a constructive alternative to punishment. The state agreed to close the revocation upon a documented charitable donation to a local food bank. The motion was withdrawn and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

Police responded to a highway collision after another driver cut into our client's lane. Officers reported alcohol odor, the client admitted coming from a bar, declined roadside tests for safety, and later gave a station breath sample over 0.15. We obtained the crash report, video, and intoxilyzer records, scrutinizing the operator’s steps and the device’s maintenance, and emphasized that our client did not cause the wreck. With no prior record and full compliance on bond, we negotiated to avoid jail and secure probation. We also handled the license side, requesting the ALR hearing and guiding interlock and driving privileges.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a minor plate issue, officers asked about weapons and the client disclosed a pistol stored under the center console. They then alleged drug possession and used that to claim the weapon was unlawful. We obtained bodycam and reports, secured purchase records and packaging for the hemp product, and pressed for lab testing. The evidence did not establish an illegal substance, so the state lacked the predicate offense needed for UCW. With those defects and our readiness to litigate, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a minor plate issue shortly after leaving a retail shop, officers questioned our client and searched the vehicle, locating a small amount of plant material the client had just purchased. The client had proof of purchase and consistently explained it was a legal hemp product. We pulled the bodycam and reports, scrutinized the stop and search, and pressed the State to prove the substance was illegal marijuana rather than hemp. When they could not meet that burden, the prosecution dismissed the case.
