Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, our client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample around 0.14. We pulled the video and documented that the tests were given on a sloped roadside and that the client had a recent ankle injury, both factors that can skew performance. With no prior record but a high BAC, we advised against a jury trial and built a thorough pretrial diversion application, including prompt enrollment in recommended classes and interlock. The client was accepted into pretrial diversion.

Charge

Theft - Class B

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A former employer accused our client of issuing fraudulent refunds and reported an estimated loss of several thousand dollars. After a detective made contact and a warrant issued, the client turned themselves in. We stepped in early, emphasized their immediate cooperation, clean record, and the workplace refund practices that had been treated as routine. The prosecution first floated a probation offer, but we pressed for a path to dismissal. We secured pretrial intervention with restitution and program conditions. After completion, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 368th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped on a highway for traveling in the left lane, with no speeding or erratic driving observed. Field sobriety testing was repeated in bright sun, and the client disclosed an old knee surgery that could affect balance. A voluntary blood draw was refused, and a later warrant-based draw returned a result near the legal limit. We secured and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, challenged the legal basis for the stop, the test administration, and the visibility of required signage, and prepared a suppression motion. Coupled with proactive compliance and treatment, we negotiated straight felony probation.

Charge

Assault Causing Bodily Injury

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

An assault case was filed after a brief school locker room altercation was captured on video. The client admitted slapping a classmate after seeing that student hit another the prior day and after coaches failed to act. We engaged immediately, coordinated a planned surrender, and addressed bond terms that conflicted with his residence and school. Our team reviewed the video and built a mitigation packet with academic records, proof of graduation, and statements about prior bullying and his report to staff. We presented that context to the prosecutor, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Terroristic Threat Against a Family or Household Member

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a residence, the complainant went to the station with a companion and reported that our client threatened to kill her and relatives. We obtained the 911 recording, bodycam, and the probable cause affidavit, and compared them against her prior sworn statements and text history. The timeline reflected a multi‑day delay, key details shifted between versions, and no independent witness reported hearing a threat. We presented these credibility and proof problems to the prosecution, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to a later report at the station, where photos showed bruising on the complainant’s arms. We obtained the full discovery, including bodycam, the initial report, and the 911 call placed just before the report was made. Our team pressed the delay in reporting and timeline inconsistencies while preparing for trial. Still, photos and the client’s prior statements created litigation risk. We negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction while the client completes court-ordered terms.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Williamson County, 512th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of assaulting a healthcare worker during a chaotic hospital visit while in severe, documented pain. Our team obtained medical records detailing recent surgeries and chronic conditions, and we verified prescribed pain medications to explain monitoring test results. We scrutinized the police reports and framed the incident around the client’s medical crisis rather than an intent to harm. We also showed consistent compliance with bond conditions, including alcohol monitoring and drug testing. After persistent negotiation, the felony was reduced to a lower offense with straight probation.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The incident began at a medical facility, where our client, in severe pain and under active treatment, was taken into custody and accused of resisting arrest, search, or transport. We obtained the officer reports and bodycam, and compiled medical records documenting significant injuries, prescriptions, and mobility limitations. The footage and records raised serious doubt that she intentionally impeded officers or used force. We presented these issues to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop, officers learned the client had a firearm in the vehicle and filed an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge. We obtained the police reports, clarified how the firearm was stored and transported, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor about the legal elements and a fair way to resolve the case. We arranged a voluntary forfeiture of the firearm and pressed for a non-conviction outcome. The state agreed and dismissed the charge, sparing the client any conviction or additional court obligations.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was charged with a second-offense DWI after arriving at a scene where an officer engaged them without citing any traffic violation. They acknowledged having a few beers, performed roadside tests, declined a breath test, and later provided a blood sample. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinizing the basis for the initial detention, the officer’s instructions during the tests, and the timing and handling of the blood draw. Leveraging those weaknesses and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, our client was arrested for DWI and taken for a blood draw under a warrant after declining breath testing. The officer relied heavily on field sobriety exercises even though the client had a documented knee surgery that could affect balance. We obtained the video, reports, and warrant paperwork and challenged the basis for the stop and the weight the state placed on those tests. We also pressed for disclosure on the blood evidence and chain of custody. Faced with credibility and proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a domestic argument at a residence, the client forced open a locked bedroom door and police alleged the door injured a family member's hand. We pulled the reports and bodycam footage, and the video showed only a minor abrasion and no intent to harm. The complaining witness later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented to the prosecutor. We documented the client's counseling and proactive steps, challenged the elements of assault, and made clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.
