Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Comal County, DC466

Allegations

Police responded to a welfare check after a domestic dispute at a residence. Our client reported being prevented from leaving, the argument escalated, and a handgun was displayed, but no shots were fired and no one was injured. The arrest rested largely on a single account with no independent witnesses. We scrutinized the reports and probable cause affidavit, emphasized the absence of injuries, and documented that the complainant was not pursuing prosecution. The case went to a grand jury, which returned a no-bill, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

After a traffic stop that began when the driver accelerated to reach a restroom, police arrested our client and first labeled it evading in a vehicle. Video review later undercut that theory, and the case was refiled as reckless driving. We obtained the body cam, dashcam, and reports, showing the client pulled over immediately and was never given sobriety tests or a breath test. We highlighted the officer's speed claim against vehicle limits and the lack of evidence of dangerous driving. With those credibility and proof issues on the record, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Montgomery County, 9th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Stopped near home after an officer claimed swerving and a wide turn, the client had young children in the vehicle. They declined breath testing, a warrant was obtained, and a blood sample was drawn later at a hospital. We secured dash and body camera footage, scrutinized the field sobriety instructions, and audited the blood draw paperwork for legal and scientific issues. Alongside, we compiled mitigation with treatment and meeting records. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a probationary resolution that kept the client out of jail.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client faced a motion to revoke after a new arrest triggered a warrant and higher bond. We immediately engaged the court and prosecutor to obtain the basis of the allegation and moved to address the warrant. Our team compiled proof of full compliance to date, including completed conditions, clean reports, and payments made, and emphasized there was no new conviction. We challenged the sufficiency of the alleged violation and kept pressure on the State. The motion was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for expired registration led to a DWI arrest. The officer noted an alcohol odor and claimed multiple clues on the roadside tests. At the station, hours later, a breath test read just over .15. We obtained body-cam and Intoxilyzer records and challenged the instructions, scoring, and the delay, noting the balance test was performed accurately. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred probation with interlock and classes, avoiding a final conviction if the client completes the terms.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle Over $200

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Following a minor collision, police responded and the client was taken to a hospital after officers deployed a Taser. There was no on-scene arrest, and we got involved immediately to monitor for any warrant activity. We engaged early, tracked the case status, and communicated with the authorities about what actually occurred and the extent of any property damage. We emphasized the medical circumstances and the context of the encounter, and pressed the prosecutor on the proof needed to sustain the charge. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Galveston County, Galveston Municipal Court of Record

Allegations

While waiting to board a trip, a K9 alerted near the client’s companion and security directed both to secondary screening. Officers searched the client’s backpack and found a THC vape pen with cartridges. There was no arrest, only a citation that sent the case to city court. We pulled the reports, requested video, and emphasized the thin nexus between the alert and our client. After negotiations, the state reduced the fine and agreed to a short term of deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a late-night drive, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and took a station breath sample that registered over .15. We immediately demanded discovery and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, the police report, and the breath-test records, scrutinizing the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered. We developed mitigation by guiding the client to complete DWI coursework, collect character letters, and start community service. Leveraging both pressure points, we negotiated deferred probation in county court. The client avoided a straight conviction while completing terms.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Montgomery County, 359th DC

Allegations

Probation sought to revoke our client's deferred adjudication, alleging missed check-ins, gaps in calling the testing line, and a single drug test reported positive for codeine. We secured a bond and compiled records showing the client was current on payments and otherwise compliant. We documented the work schedule that explained the call-in issues and pressed probation on the reliability and context of the lone positive. With that record in hand, the court continued the case on deferred probation with added monitoring instead of adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated when a family member advanced on our client. He raised a small side table to create distance, a scuffle followed, and officers arrested him after noting minor injuries to the other party. We got involved early, obtained the bodycam and reports, and emphasized his clean history and that he was attempting to deescalate rather than assault. We coordinated with the family about their preferences and had the client proactively complete an online anger management course. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a headlight issue, the officer said he smelled marijuana and searched the vehicle, locating a very small amount consistent with a single blunt. We obtained the police reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the claimed odor, and how the search was carried out. We emphasized the minimal quantity and absence of other incriminating factors while signaling readiness to litigate the search. The state agreed to straight probation, keeping our client out of jail.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Comal County, 433rd District Court

Allegations

Stopped for a lighting issue, the client consented to a search and officers found a small amount of LSD. They were released with an understanding to cooperate with narcotics investigators, but no follow up came. Over a year later an old warrant triggered an arrest on a state jail felony. We scrutinized the stop, the lab chain of custody and the long delay, then backed negotiations with a clean hair test and strong character letters. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record if the terms are completed.
