Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Staff at a childcare facility reported that our client appeared intoxicated when arriving with a young child in the vehicle, and police made an arrest for DWI with a child passenger. Discovery later showed a high alcohol reading and a case built largely on staff observations and officer notes. We obtained the police reports and evidence, identified evidentiary gaps and procedural issues in how the investigation unfolded, and assembled strong mitigation from treatment and monitoring. We pressed those points in negotiations. The state filed a dismissal.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, JP3

Allegations

Officers responded to a call about an intoxicated person at a commercial area and issued our client a public intoxication citation. The client later discovered the ticket had been filed. We pulled the police report and scrutinized the officer's observations, centering on the requirement that the person be a danger to self or others. The paperwork reflected few objective signs of impairment and no specific safety risk. We pressed those gaps with the prosecutor, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was accused of indecent assault after a brief encounter in a workplace restroom. The account was disputed, and there had been a pattern of mutual flirting and joking beforehand. We gathered digital communications that showed a different context, obtained surveillance video capturing the moments before and after the encounter, and charted significant inconsistencies between the complainant’s statements. After presenting these credibility problems and signaling we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Use of a Criminal Instrument

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop, officers seized our client's work tools and claimed they were criminal instruments. We documented legitimate reasons for having the tools, including regular work and parts pickups, and obtained statements supporting that explanation. Reviewing the police reports, we found no evidence of intended criminal use, no modifications, and no offense linked to the tools. We presented those gaps and made clear we were ready to litigate the issue. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client consented to a vehicle search and officers reported finding several grams of suspected psilocybin mushrooms. We demanded full lab testing to verify the substance and precise weight, and scrutinized the legal basis for the search and the handling of the evidence. In parallel, we compiled mitigation, including mental health treatment plans and character support. Using those efforts and mitigation in negotiations, we secured deferred probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a domestic argument, a relative called 911 after hearing commotion, but no one outside the couple saw what happened. Officers arrested our client based on the complainant's statement. We reviewed the reports and evidence, noting she was intoxicated during the interview, her account shifted, and there were no independent witnesses. The injury documentation was minimal and inconsistent with the allegations. The complainant later made clear she did not want to pursue the case. We presented these issues to the prosecutor, who dismissed the charge.

Charge

Illegal Dumping of Trash

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

After clearing out a residence, the client and two others left bulky items at dumpsters behind a commercial complex when their usual facility was closed. Investigators later traced them through a document found in the debris. The client promptly cooperated, met with officers, and tried to fix it by going back to clean up, providing a truck receipt as proof. We got involved early, documented the remediation, and challenged the reliability of the statements taken and the lack of clear notice against dumping. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was in a parked car when officers approached after a store incident involving another person. They reported the odor of marijuana, searched the vehicle, found a small amount, and our client acknowledged it was theirs. We analyzed the police reports, challenged the expansion of a detention that began with someone else, and questioned the scope of the search. We also highlighted the client’s cooperation and minimal history. After negotiations, the state reduced the charge and agreed to a sentence of time served.

Charge

Illegal Dumping

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was accused after assisting two others with a cleanout and leaving household debris near dumpsters when a usual site was closed. Law enforcement contacted them later, and they gave statements by phone and at an office about the items and vehicles. We reviewed the investigative materials and analyzed each statement, noting they were non-custodial and equivocal about roles and location. We pressed the State on proving the alleged volume that elevated the charge and the lack of direct proof tying our client to a specific dump site. Faced with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police approached the client's parked car after a companion was detained for suspected shoplifting. Officers said they smelled marijuana, questioned the client, and then found a firearm in the glove box after the client disclosed its presence. We scrutinized the legality of the initial contact, the basis for the vehicle search, and whether the state could prove every element of unlawful carrying. We emphasized there was no evidence our client participated in the store incident and raised suppression issues regarding the search and statements. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, jp3

Allegations

After an arrest for public intoxication, our client was cited into a JP court. We immediately requested discovery, including body camera video, and pressed the State on whether the facts actually met the elements of the offense. The court initially offered deferred disposition, and later the prosecutor floated a dismissal if the client completed an alcohol awareness course. We declined to accept conditions, laid out our concerns with the evidence, and kept negotiating. The State agreed to dismiss the charge outright, ending the case with no conviction.

Charge

Illegal Dumping

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

During a home renovation, our client and others found their usual dumpster full and, late at night, left construction debris in a private commercial dumpster. Investigators traced the load to them through paperwork in the trash and surveillance, and the client provided a written statement. The next day they tried to retrieve the items for proper disposal. We documented those remedial steps, the client's clean history, and completion of an environmental compliance course. After presenting this mitigation, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
