Criminal Defense Case Results in Tarrant, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Forth Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

Officers encountered our client after a night out, where he had stumbled on a sidewalk while trying to get a ride home. He was arrested for public intoxication. We obtained the bodycam footage and full discovery and evaluated whether the incident actually met the legal standard. Because the client was here on a work visa, we also coordinated with immigration counsel to avoid collateral consequences. After targeted negotiations with the prosecutor, the case was dismissed, protecting the client's record.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CC10

Allegations

The client was accused of resisting after officers tried to remove him from a seat during a late night encounter. The report claimed he tensed up and hesitated, but there were no allegations of striking, fleeing, or threats. We secured the bodycam and incident reports, built a precise timeline, and highlighted unclear commands and the lack of active force. We prepared to challenge whether the statute was met and pressed the issue in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the resisting charge.

Charge

Obstruction of Police Duty

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

After a roadside stop, officers accused our client of obstructing their duties during the arrest and a later hospital blood draw. We pulled the bodycam and dash footage, dispatch logs, and medical records to reconstruct what actually happened. The evidence showed confusion and fear of needles, not intentional interference or threats. Reports from different officers conflicted on key details about the alleged obstruction. We pressed those inconsistencies and the lack of proof of intent, making clear we were ready to try the case. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police alleged our client pulled away and interfered during the arrest, resulting in a Class A resisting charge. Bodycam and hospital records showed he was in significant pain with a dislocated shoulder and other injuries while officers attempted to restrain him for medical procedures. We gathered the videos, medical documentation, and injury photos and compared them to the officers’ reports. The material undercut any claim that he intentionally obstructed, indicating movements driven by pain and fear. After we presented these problems to the prosecution, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Fraudulent Use or Possession of Identifying Information

Location

Tarrant County, CDC3

Allegations

Prosecutors alleged our client used another person’s account information to purchase items at a home improvement store. The video and transaction records were strong, but we pressed into the charging theory and loss documentation, noting the retailer had been reimbursed and the listed victim and allegations did not cleanly match the evidence. We also documented the client’s verified assistance to investigators. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction of the charge and a resolution for time served, closing the case without additional jail.

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

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

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.

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

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Tarrant County, D297

Allegations

Our client was accused of burglary after property went missing from an apartment during a scheduled visit to the residence. They had already cooperated with a detective and returned the items, yet multiple burglary warrants followed. We engaged early with investigators and the prosecutor, centered the defense on consent to be inside the dwelling, and challenged any proof of unlawful entry or intent. With those issues on the table and the voluntary return of property, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for a headlight issue, officers began a DWI investigation and arrested the driver. During the arrest, they located a handgun inside the vehicle and filed a misdemeanor unlawful carry charge. We obtained the patrol videos, reports, and evidence logs, and closely examined the basis for the stop and how the weapon was found. We challenged whether the facts satisfied the statute for unlawful carry and highlighted procedural concerns. Faced with these issues, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Tarrant County, None

Allegations

Police responded to a welfare check at a residence after a caller alleged family members were being kept from leaving. Officers claimed exigent entry, the individual briefly held the door, then complied and was arrested for interference with public duties. We filed our appearance, requested the reports, 911 audio, and body camera video, and pressed the point that any obstruction was momentary and nonviolent. Through focused negotiation, the case resolved with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.
