Assault Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

Our client was accused after a roadside dispute where another driver claimed a gun was brandished. The charge rested largely on statements and a later photo of a lawfully owned firearm, not tied to the scene. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the reports, and compared each account, highlighting contradictions and the lack of corroboration. We made clear we were ready to litigate the credibility problems. Confronted with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

This case arose from a roadside dispute where another driver alleged the client displayed a firearm. Officers moved forward based largely on witness accounts rather than physical evidence recovered at the scene. We obtained discovery, scrutinized the reports, and highlighted inconsistencies and identification concerns that undercut the strength of the accusation. Using those weaknesses as leverage, we pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. The state agreed to deferred adjudication, allowing the client to complete terms without a final felony conviction.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

This case stemmed from a roadway dispute where the complainant alleged our client displayed a firearm. No weapon was recovered at the scene, and the allegation relied on witness statements and a later photo of a gun provided at investigators’ request. We obtained the discovery, highlighted conflicting accounts, and challenged the connection between that photo and the incident itself. After pressing these evidentiary problems in negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the matter was resolved on the lesser offense with deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Travis County, 450th District Court

Allegations

Our client faced a felony family-violence assault with a strangulation allegation after a domestic incident. We obtained discovery, reviewed reports, recordings and photos, and compared it to the client's alibi paperwork. The timeline in that paperwork did not align with the alleged date, weakening any push for outright dismissal. We leveraged those issues and mitigation to negotiate. The prosecution dropped the strangulation enhancement and reduced the case to a misdemeanor with deferred adjudication. We arranged supervision accommodations to avoid burdensome travel.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic argument at a home and, after interviewing both sides, arrested our client when an officer noted a superficial mark on the complainant’s neck. We secured the body-camera footage and the written statement, which claimed our client chased and injured the complainant and suggested prior incidents. Soon after, the complainant made clear he did not wish to prosecute. We presented his affidavit of non-prosecution and contrasted it with inconsistencies in the initial account and evidence pointing to defensive contact. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Travis County, 299th District Court

Allegations

Police were called to a residence after an argument among relatives. Our client was arrested for felony assault family violence by strangulation based largely on a bystander’s claim. We reviewed body camera video and saw the complainant declined to give a statement, while the only strangulation allegation came from an intoxicated relative whose account shifted. We documented those credibility issues and noted our client had called 911. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. The state rejected the case and it was dismissed pre-indictment.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Travis County, CCL6

Allegations

Leaving a concert, the client was stuck in a parking garage when two people got out of a nearby car, blocked the path, and placed a hand on the hood. He exited his vehicle, a brief fight followed, and he was later charged with assault causing bodily injury. We obtained the police file and video the other side provided and emphasized the fear and confusion that led to the encounter. Because the footage limited leverage, we pivoted to mitigation, guiding the client through an evaluation and classes. With that package and a clean record, we secured deferred adjudication.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client after an argument outside a residence, alleging she caused minor scratches while trying to recover her key. We obtained the doorbell video, which did not show a clear assault and captured the other party acting aggressively and refusing to return the key. We compared the footage to the reports and highlighted discrepancies. The complaining witness signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented with mitigation materials. Facing credibility problems and a reluctant witness, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Travis County, 450TH, DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

An argument between our client and a pregnant partner during a short trip escalated, and police were called. The complainant alleged choking in a moving car and showed minor red marks, but there was no medical evidence of serious injury and no video. We scrutinized the reports, evaluated her statements, and prepared to challenge credibility at trial. We also pursued collateral witnesses to test her account. With limited corroboration and our trial posture clear, the prosecution agreed to reduce the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance after a neighbor called 911, and our client was arrested after the complainant alleged choking and officers noted neck redness. Early on, the complainant was unwilling to cooperate. The client had cell phone video showing the complainant attacking and blocking the exit while the client pleaded to leave, footage officers refused to view at the scene. We preserved the footage, pulled apart the report, and pointed out the conflicts. With that leverage, we negotiated deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record if terms are completed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, CCL4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence where the complainant alleged she struck him. She told officers he refused to leave the bedroom, grabbed a blanket, and pushed her first, and that she only reacted to create space. We moved quickly, gathering months of texts showing she had asked him to leave and records of prior disturbances tied to him. Comparing those materials with the police report exposed credibility problems in his account. We presented that context and flagged defensive conduct issues to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class A)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic dispute at a residence where the complainant said her wrist was grabbed. We moved quickly to address restrictive bond conditions and pulled the 911 audio, body cam, and photos. The videos captured officers debating who, if anyone, was the primary aggressor, and the injury images did not match the claims. The complainant did not wish to pursue the case. We presented these weaknesses to the prosecutor and arranged for the client to complete two brief classes. After we filed the certificates, the state dismissed the case.
