Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Felon in Possession of a Firearm (Investigation)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

Law enforcement agents executed a search at a family residence where our client was staying and seized multiple firearms that were owned by relatives. No arrest followed, and the electronics taken during the search were later returned. We were retained during the investigation, collected the warrant cover sheet and the itemized property list, and documented statements from household members about ownership and storage. We made clear that mere access did not establish control or possession. Authorities closed the matter and it was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

Stopped for a broken brake light, our client declined field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. At the station, two breath samples registered .093 and .089. We obtained the dashcam and station video and emphasized that this was an equipment stop, with no roadside tests to show impairment. We also pulled the breath-testing records and pressed the state on proof of compliance and reliability at the time of testing. With limited impairment evidence and our challenges to the breath results, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A traffic stop in a downtown area led to an arrest after the client performed field sobriety tests and acknowledged recent drinking. A breath test registered at 0.08, and the client had no prior record. We gathered the reports and pressed the borderline reading and clean history in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to a dismissal path conditioned on completing a course and community service. We tracked progress to ensure everything was finished before the discharge date. After completion, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court // cc2

Allegations

Stopped after maneuvering around a road hazard, our client was accused of weaving with a child secured in the back seat. They admitted drinking earlier, completed roadside tests, and later gave a breath sample at the station. Our review found two inconsistent breath results and no video of the actual test. We demanded dashcam and bodycam footage, breath test maintenance records, and challenged the basis for the stop. Confronted with those evidentiary gaps, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case from a felony to a misdemeanor and allow deferred probation.

Charge

Driving While License Invalid (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, a state trooper found our client's license was suspended due to an old DWI and unpaid reinstatement fees, resulting in a Class C DWLI charge. We pulled the driving history, identified DPS holds, and guided the client through resolving the obligations and bringing the license back to valid status. We compiled proof of compliance and submitted it to the prosecutor, emphasizing that the basis for the charge no longer existed. With the documentation in place, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a multi vehicle collision, officers had the client perform field sobriety tests and then took them to a hospital for a blood draw. We dug into the police and medical records and pressed the state on whether the blood was drawn with valid consent and on the reliability of the roadside testing. With a prior DWI on file, jail time was a risk, so we focused on narrowing the evidence the state could comfortably rely on. The prosecutor ultimately agreed to resolve the case with straight probation.

Charge

Resisting Arrest, Search, or Transport

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After an encounter with law enforcement, our client was arrested and charged with resisting arrest, search, or transport. With no prior record, they were initially offered a deal that would have left a permanent conviction and threatened professional licensing. We took over the case, obtained the state's materials, and pressed the prosecutor with a mitigation package detailing background and collateral consequences. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to a non-conviction path. The client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after clipping a curb, admitted to drinking, and performed field sobriety tests in high winds before a blood draw. We closely reviewed the evidence and police reports, focusing on how the wind and testing conditions undermined the exercises. We examined the blood evidence for compliance and consistency. We compiled these weaknesses and made clear we were prepared to challenge the arrest and the evidence in court. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Patrol lights appeared behind the client, two vehicles pulled over, and it was unclear who the officer intended to stop. The officer alleged signs of intoxication and an open container, conducted field sobriety tests, and later obtained a blood warrant. The client is anemic and fainted during the draw, and also had a recent arm injury that could affect balance. We challenged the stop’s legitimacy and argued the medical issues undermined the tests. After we pressed these problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Peace Officer (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

At a government office, security stopped the client from entering. When the guard grabbed the client's arm, the client reflexively turned and there was brief contact. Police later arrested the client for felony assault on a peace officer. We secured and analyzed the surveillance footage frame by frame, emphasizing that security initiated the physical contact and any touch by our client was a reaction, not an intentional strike. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a reduction to a minor offense with a short, non-reporting deferred resolution and classes, keeping a felony off the record.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, Leander Municipal Court

Allegations

After a worried 911 call about possible pill ingestion, the client walked away from home and was contacted by first responders. Startled, he hopped a low fence, was tackled, restrained, and later booked for public intoxication when he refused hospital treatment. He was on blood thinners and sustained visible bruising. No field sobriety tests or chemical tests were performed, and the only reference to alcohol was a claimed odor. We compiled witness accounts and photos, emphasized the lack of proof of intoxication and the medical context, and negotiated a short term of deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Williamson County, 277th District Court

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence escalated. The client reported being pushed and hit, then grabbed the complainant's wrist and neck to stop the struggle. Police arrived and made a felony arrest for assault family violence by strangulation. We reviewed the reports, ensured compliance with no-contact orders, and documented the client's prompt enrollment in counseling and anger management. The complainant later told prosecutors she did not wish to proceed and that things had improved. We leveraged this to secure a reduction and deferred probation, avoiding a conviction.
