Criminal Defense Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Travis County, 147th District Court

Allegations

Police attempted to stop a motorcyclist for traffic violations. The rider left the roadway, a brief pursuit followed, and it ended when the bike went down and the rider was treated for injuries. He was issued several citations at the scene and, months later, arrested on a felony evading warrant. We obtained the dashcam and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and whether the evidence actually proved an intentional flight. We also documented that the lesser citations were resolved and presented mitigation. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Travis County, 331st District Court

Allegations

Probation filed a motion to revoke after several months of missed restitution payments. We dug into the file, compiled proof of earlier compliance, and documented the client’s recent financial hardship. We pushed for an updated ability to pay evaluation and negotiated directly with supervision and the prosecutor through repeated status settings. Armed with a realistic payment plan and supporting records, we argued against incarceration. The court declined to revoke and continued the case on straight probation with modified terms.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Travis County, 147TH DC

Allegations

The client was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon based on allegations about a firearm. We secured the police reports and discovery, examining how the item was located and documented. Our team analyzed whether the encounter complied with the law and whether the state could prove every element. We raised legal and evidentiary concerns with the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to challenge admissibility issues in court. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid (With Previous Conviction and No Insurance)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

Police alleged the client was driving on an invalid license with a prior DWLI on record and without proof of financial responsibility. We obtained the state’s file, pulled the certified driving record, and compared it to the paperwork the officer relied on. We also collected documentation relevant to insurance status and suspension notice. After we highlighted proof problems and made clear we were prepared to litigate the case, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Travis County, CC4

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, officers alleged the client took a phone and prevented a call for help. We secured the bodycam and police reports, built a timeline, and compared the initial on scene statements to later write ups. The state’s theory of interference rested on a single, disputed account with little corroboration and no independent witness. We highlighted those proof problems and made clear we were ready for a contested hearing. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Sexual Assault

Location

Travis County, 390th District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, our client was accused of an aggravated sexual assault. The state relied on a short video clip and the complainant’s later statements. We obtained the surrounding messages, including conversations with a third party, which undercut the allegation and showed shifting explanations for not contacting police. We matched those with the recording and highlighted material inconsistencies. We also documented the client’s steady employment and cooperation. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Travis County, 390th District Court

Allegations

After an emergency protective order was issued following a domestic dispute, our client was accused of violating it by making phone calls and sending texts to the complainant. We pulled the jail call recordings and messaging logs and compared them against the terms of the order. The communications were limited to child-related logistics and contained no threats or harassment. We organized this context and pressed the state on its ability to prove a knowing, prohibited contact. Faced with those proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Invasive Visual Recording

Location

Travis County, 390th District Court

Allegations

The case arose from an allegation that a private intimate video was recorded and then shared without consent. Early reports suggested the clip was broadly circulated. Our team secured the device data and message threads, which demonstrated a limited transmission and added crucial context. We compiled that evidence, presented mitigation, and pressed the prosecution on proof issues. The matter was resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record so long as all terms are completed.

Charge

Invasive Visual Recording

Location

Travis County, 390th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of invasive visual recording after investigators recovered an intimate video and related messages during a domestic investigation. We obtained the digital evidence, reviewed the clip in full, and compared it to the reporting officer’s narrative. Context from the message thread and time stamps undermined key assumptions about how and when the recording was made. We presented those evidentiary problems to the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the invasive visual recording charge.

Charge

Harassment

Location

Travis County, CC8

Allegations

A personal loan between former partners fell apart, and when repayment stalled our client sent a series of messages seeking answers. Communications on both sides became heated, including threatening replies from a relative of the complainant. The client went to the residence and called police to report the situation, but was arrested on an already issued harassment warrant based on the messages. We compiled the text and call history and laid out the timeline to show the financial dispute and that the client sought police assistance. Citing no prior record and no allegation of physical contact, we negotiated a deferred probation resolution.

Charge

Littering

Location

Travis County, JP1

Allegations

The case began with a traffic stop after an officer said they saw the driver toss a cigarette butt from the vehicle and issued a citation for leaving refuse on the roadway. We got involved immediately, collected the citation and patrol video, and scrutinized whether the elements of the offense could be proven, including the officer's vantage point and what was actually discarded. We prepared to contest the evidence and opened talks with the prosecutor. After reviewing our materials and position, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Travis County, CC8

Allegations

Following a no-contact order, the client was accused of reaching out to the protected person. The allegation focused on phone communications. The client reported repeated incoming calls from blocked numbers and even a video call attempt by the protected person. We confronted the state with this context and pressed the lack of proof that our client initiated contact. After discussions and review of the communications history, the prosecution dismissed the case.
