Criminal Defense Case Results in Travis, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute following a night out where both sides had been drinking. The client reported trying to stop the other person from leaving to drive intoxicated by blocking a doorway, which officers interpreted as an assault. We engaged quickly, documented the context of the incident, and communicated it to the State. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented. Combined with the disputed facts, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Travis County, 167TH DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police alleged the client and another person carried out an armed robbery at a residence, using force and taking cash and contraband. The complainant said they knew the client and identified him as a suspect. We scrutinized that identification, compared statements for inconsistencies, and pressed the gaps in the evidence. We also presented mitigation, including no prior record and steps toward treatment and housing. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, avoiding prison and a final conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CC3

Allegations

Police responded to a call that someone parked and stumbled into a bar. Officers found our client inside and noted intoxication. The caller was never identified or produced, and the state relied on vague statements from staff. We zeroed in on the timeline, arguing they could not prove when any driving occurred as opposed to drinking after arrival. We pressed the missing witness issue and made clear we were prepared to challenge the evidence. Confronted with these proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Child Pornography

Location

Travis County, None

Allegations

Police alleged that a video found on a phone constituted child pornography, and a warrant was filed. We got involved immediately, tracked the warrant status, and moved to secure bond coverage so there would be no surprise arrest. We opened direct dialogue with the prosecutor, picking apart the basis for the charge and highlighting the lack of criminal intent and the context around the recording. As we pressed those issues and made clear we were prepared to litigate them, the state reevaluated the case. The DA issued a formal rejection, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Engaging in Organized Crime

Location

Travis County, 460th District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped while driving a vehicle borrowed from a housemate, which officers later learned was stolen. Prosecutors folded the client into an organized crime case tied to a larger auto theft ring. We combed through the entire file and confirmed the only items pointing at our client were that one drive, ordinary phone contact with the housemate, and a misattributed social media photo. Records in the car, including identification, title, and VIN details, traced back to others. We confronted the state with these gaps and prepared to set the case for trial. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

The client was stopped for swerving during a traffic encounter, and officers reported finding a handgun in the vehicle. An unlawful carrying charge followed based on that discovery. We obtained the police reports and video, dissected the basis for the stop, and scrutinized the sequence that led to the firearm being located. We flagged inconsistencies in the officer's account and challenged the legal basis for the search and the required elements. After firm negotiations and signaling a suppression fight, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

Stopped for swerving, our client admitted to drinking, attempted the field sobriety tests, and then consented to a breath sample. Yet the license paperwork listed the case as a refusal, creating a mismatch with the officer's reports. We collected the records, documented the discrepancy, and addressed weaknesses in the observations that led to the arrest. Using that leverage in negotiations, we steered the case away from a permanent conviction. The matter concluded with deferred probation.

Charge

Theft - Misdemeanor

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #8

Allegations

Loss prevention detained our client after a shoplifting accusation, reported a brief struggle, and the client left before officers arrived. We engaged early, obtained the incident reports, and clarified what actually happened during the attempted detention. Our focus was keeping the case on the underlying misdemeanor theft and addressing concerns raised by the confrontation. We opened negotiations, emphasized accountability and cooperation, and pressed for a non-conviction resolution. The prosecutor agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record while they complete the terms.

Charge

Motion for Early Termination of Probation

Location

Travis County, 403rd District Court

Allegations

The client contacted us to pursue early termination of probation on an older case. We obtained the file, reviewed the judgment and supervision records, and identified paths to improve the posture of the case. We prepared a targeted motion and opened negotiations with the prosecutor for a more proportionate resolution. After sustained discussions, the state agreed to reduce the underlying charge. The court accepted the agreement and placed the client on a more favorable probationary arrangement.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, cc9

Allegations

After a collision, the client admitted to drinking and was arrested for DWI. Officers documented field sobriety tests and a breath test that read 0.08. We obtained the police reports and evidence and parsed each step of the stop and investigation. We emphasized the borderline reading and the absence of prior history. Through targeted negotiations, we persuaded the prosecutor to reduce the charge. The client accepted a reduction with deferred probation, avoiding a harsher outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #9

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, officers found our client unsteady and conducted roadside tests on uneven ground, including grass by a parking area. The client had just struck a pole, the airbag deployed, and there was a head impact, yet testing proceeded. A breath attempt failed, and a later warrant blood draw allegedly showed a high BAC. We obtained bodycam and 911 audio to document crash effects and compromised testing conditions that explained the balance issues. Combined with the client's swift completion of alcohol education and other compliance, we leveraged these problems with the evidence. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Travis County, 331ST, DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

After meeting someone online and later in person, our client was arrested for sexual assault of a minor. We moved quickly, coordinated release, and gathered the message history, call logs, and other digital records. Comparing those materials to the police report, we highlighted timeline problems and evidence that the complainant misrepresented age and initiated contact. We compiled a detailed submission for the prosecution, and the case was presented to a grand jury. The grand jury returned a no bill, and prosecutors dismissed the charge.
