Assault - Bodily Injury

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

After a heated moment at a recreational game, a confrontation in the bleachers turned into a brawl and our client was accused of assaulting two people. The client consistently maintained self defense.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Impeding Breath or Circulation (Felony)

Location

Travis County, 427th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after a neighbor called 911, and our client was arrested for felony family violence by strangulation based largely on the initial account in the report. The complainant later made clear she did not wish to prosecute. We obtained the police paperwork, compared statements, and documented key inaccuracies, including who actually called 911 and how the physical contact was described. We delivered those credibility problems to the prosecutor and pushed for a full review. The case was sent to a grand jury, which returned a no bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Travis County, C-1-CR-25-209333

Allegations

After a heated argument at home, officers returned and arrested our client for family violence based on a claim he struck a relative during a struggle over car keys. We collected statements from those present showing the contact occurred as relatives tried to keep him from leaving, not as an intentional assault. The complaining witness later clarified the events and signed an affidavit of nonprosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. At the state's request, the client completed a brief evaluation and online class. With that context and conditions satisfied, the case was dismissed.

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, CC4

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, a neighbor called 911 and officers arrested our client based on the partner's initial statement. We dug in fast, securing doorbell camera footage and collecting texts and call logs showing the complainant reinitiated contact afterward and that our client was trying to leave when items were thrown at him. The complainant later declined to give a follow up statement and her account conflicted with the report. We laid out the inconsistencies and evidence to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 450th District Court

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged our client threatened her with a weapon. The report was made long after the alleged incident, and her story shifted over time, later softening about how close the weapon supposedly was. The only third party never witnessed anything, only overheard an argument by phone. We underscored these credibility problems, scrutinized the reports, and documented the client’s counseling and compliance. After sustained pressure, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, 403RD, DISTRICT COURT // County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The case began with police responding to a 911 call about a domestic dispute, and our client was arrested based on the initial statement and a reported minor injury. Alcohol was involved and the argument had escalated quickly. Soon after, the complainant told authorities they did not want to pursue the case. We documented that position and the surrounding context, then pressed the prosecutor through continued negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and we resolved it with deferred probation, avoiding a harsher outcome and a conviction if completed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law, #4

Allegations

An older family-violence allegation resurfaced long after a domestic dispute at a residence. The arrest was based largely on a single account with no independent corroboration. We obtained the reports, scrutinized the claimed injury, and highlighted the delay in filing and relationship context. Leveraging those weaknesses in negotiations, we pushed for a non-aggravated resolution. The State agreed to reduce the charge, and the court credited the client with time already served, closing the case the same day.

Assault

Location

Travis County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged our client slapped them, and officers made an arrest based largely on that statement. We obtained and reviewed the bodycam footage and reports, mapped the timeline, and highlighted the lack of corroboration, including no clear injuries, no independent witnesses, and inconsistencies that undercut reliability. We compiled these issues and pressed the prosecution, signaling readiness to litigate. The state dismissed the assault charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Continuous)

Location

Travis County, 390th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute, the client was accused of multiple assaults over several days, including claims of strangulation and a later injury to the complainant’s chin. We pulled the reports, text threads between the parties, and injury photos, then built a clear timeline. The records showed delayed reporting and key inconsistencies, and there was little corroboration for the strangulation allegations beyond statements. We presented these weaknesses to the prosecutor and prepared to litigate. The case was resolved with deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and jail.

We also pointed to video reviewed by management that showed no physical contact. Faced with credibility and proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.
