Assault - Family Violence (With Prior Conviction)

Location

Tarrant County, D485

Allegations

After a domestic dispute that began following a night out, police arrested our client for felony family-violence assault because of an old prior. The incident involved a heated argument and mutual contact, and the complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution. We compiled the client’s evidence from that night and dissected the statements, emphasizing that the facts supported a misdemeanor-level event and that the enhancement was driven solely by the prior. We also highlighted the lack of ongoing safety concerns. The State reduced the case to a misdemeanor with deferred probation and a no harmful-contact condition, keeping a felony off the record.

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

The case arose from a late-night argument that moved into a parking area. A second participant confronted our client and was captured on video approaching with a wrench, and both sides called 911. Responding officers relied on the initial account and filed a misdemeanor family-violence charge. We gathered the cellphone videos and photos from the scene, pulled the 911 audio, and compared those with the police narrative. The materials showed the other person initiated the confrontation and revealed significant inconsistencies in the complainant’s statements. After we presented these problems to the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

We also challenged the basis for the vehicle search that produced the gun. After sustained pressure, the state dismissed this count.
