Criminal Defense Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

Evading Arrest on Foot

Location

Travis County, CC7

Allegations

Following an arrest during a larger incident, our client was charged with evading arrest on foot. Early in the case the state offered to dismiss upon completion of specific upfront conditions, then a new prosecutor balked. We tracked down the original offer, forwarded the written confirmation, and built a compliance record with clean drug tests, treatment, and required classes and service. With that documentation, we pressed the issue, and the court ultimately signed off on a full dismissal of the evading case.

Charge

Discharge of a Firearm

Location

Travis County, CC7

Allegations

Police alleged the client fired a handgun in a wooded area near a lodging and later detained him outside. We dug into the reports and advocated for a previously discussed resolution that required upfront work rather than a conviction. Our team compiled proof of an intensive treatment program, a firearm safety course, and community service, and secured a signed weapon forfeiture. We presented the documentation and pressed the state to honor the agreement. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Travis County, CC7

Allegations

Officers responded to reports of gunfire in a wooded area near a lodging property and later encountered our client outside, where a handgun was recovered, leading to a UCW charge. We documented the state's prior agreement to dismiss upon completion of upfront conditions. When a new prosecutor backed away from that deal, we pressed the issue and provided proof of compliance. We finalized and submitted the required weapon forfeiture for this count. The prosecution then dismissed the case.

Charge

Interference with Emergency Call

Location

Travis County, CC7

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence, where a dating partner alleged the client interfered with a 911 call. Officers relied on the initial account and made an arrest for interference with emergency call. We obtained the reports and evidence, mapped out the timeline, and highlighted gaps between the statements and the elements of the charge. We opened a dialogue with the assigned prosecutor and pressed those discrepancies. After negotiations and further review by the state, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity

Location

Travis County, 450th District Court

Allegations

The client brought a motorcycle to a service department and was confronted by employees aligned with a rival group. A larger crowd formed and a brief fight erupted at the entrance, during which others were armed and were disarmed. Police filed an organized criminal activity charge based on group involvement in the altercation. We obtained the business surveillance video and mapped the timeline, showing the client arrived for a legitimate appointment and was targeted first. We challenged any claim of a coordinated plan. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Travis County, 167th District Court

Allegations

After a rear-end collision, the client panicked and drove on briefly, then pulled over and waited. The other driver followed, emergency services were called immediately, and a passenger with minor injuries was transported for treatment. Despite this, a felony failure to stop and render aid charge was filed. We documented the quick stop, full cooperation at the scene, and the fact that aid was secured without delay, undercutting any claim of intent to evade responsibility. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

Security at a gated apartment complex reported our client in a restricted garage and linked them to a prior day encounter, claiming a weapon had been seen. Police contacted the client and later recovered a firearm from the vehicle. We moved quickly to gather context about why the client was there, addressed the security account with the prosecutor, and secured an offer to resolve the case through a short cognitive course. After the client completed the class and we submitted proof, the State dismissed the trespass charge.
