Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court

Allegations

After a traffic collision the morning after a holiday, officers investigated our client for DWI, pointing to an open container found among trash scattered by the crash. Body cam showed the first officer ready to let him go, field tests largely clean, then a supervisor arrived and retested him. A hospital blood draw came back well below the legal limit, and a later lab report showed only THC, with no proof of impairment while driving. We pulled the videos and lab materials, challenged probable cause and the toxicology, and set the case for trial. Faced with those problems, the state dismissed the felony DWI.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence after our client tried to end a relationship and leave. He called 911 first, reporting that he was being blocked and grabbed, and that the other party was harming herself. Later, the argument resumed when she followed him back, and he briefly pushed her to create space. Officers arrested him for family violence based on the complainant's account. We compiled the 911 records and reports to show he sought help and used minimal force, and negotiated deferred probation on the assault, keeping a conviction off his record if he completes terms.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Officers responded after a domestic dispute in a residence. Earlier that night, our client had called 911 to get help leaving. When the other person later placed a call, he grabbed the phone and ended it, realizing only as the screen flashed that it was 911. We examined the reports and timeline to show he lacked knowledge or intent to interfere, and emphasized that he had already sought police assistance himself. After sustained negotiations presenting that context, the prosecutor dismissed the interference charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash. Officers moved the client to a different spot to run field sobriety tests, then later obtained a breath sample that registered about 0.13. There were no other vehicles involved and the client had no prior record. We moved quickly to review the arrest paperwork, scrutinize how the tests were conducted and the circumstances of the breath test, and present mitigation about the accident and the client's background. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution approved pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC3

Allegations

Police were dispatched to a drive-through after a caller reported a possible intoxicated driver. The client was not asleep, was waiting for food, and spoke with staff when officers arrived. He admitted to having drinks, completed field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was taken. We focused on whether officers had reasonable grounds to detain and investigate, and on gaps in how the tests and blood draw were conducted. After pressing those issues with the prosecution and preparing to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, Taylor City Municipal Court

Allegations

A dispute in a store parking area escalated after another driver argued with our client. Voices were raised, the other man postured aggressively, and our client briefly made physical contact. No bodily injury was alleged, and a citation arrived later rather than an on‑scene arrest. We obtained the reports and available video, emphasized the mutual nature of the confrontation and self‑defense concerns, and pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. We secured deferred disposition with a brief class, and after compliance the case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in Williamson County. We moved quickly to obtain the police reports and lab paperwork, then walked the state's evidence from seizure to testing to assess what could actually be proved at trial. We also prepared mitigation and background materials to provide context and reduce perceived risk. After presenting our analysis and submissions in negotiations, the prosecution chose not to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Minor Possession, Purchase, Consumption, or Receipt of Tobacco or E-Cigarette Products

Location

Williamson County, jp2

Allegations

The client received a citation for alleged minor possession or purchase of tobacco or e-cigarette products after a brief police contact. We pulled the officer’s report and discovery, then scrutinized how the product was linked to our client and whether the elements of possession or purchase could be proven. The paperwork contained gaps and no clear, independent corroboration tying the item to our client at the time alleged. We highlighted those evidentiary weaknesses and made clear we were ready to contest the citation in court. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was accused of DWI with a child after an incident at a residence. While trying to get the children to safety during a dispute, the client briefly moved a vehicle to a nearby driveway, which was recorded by a bystander. There were no field sobriety tests, only a later blood draw. We obtained the video and body camera footage, scrutinized the lab work, and presented a necessity and minimal‑operation narrative. Faced with these issues and mitigation, the state reduced the charge and the client received straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash. Our client was found unconscious and taken to a hospital, where a blood draw later showed a BAC just under the legal limit. The officer’s DWI investigation occurred after hospital staff administered morphine, calling into question every clue he relied on. We pulled the bodycam, reports, and medical records to map the timeline and challenged the reliability of the evidence. After we set the case for trial and kept pressure on the state, the prosecution agreed to dismiss if two online classes were completed. The client finished them, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

While on deferred adjudication probation for a prior misdemeanor, the client was accused of a new offense in another jurisdiction and a motion to revoke was filed. We gathered proof that the client had completed community service, finished the required class, paid all fees, and had otherwise complied. We emphasized that the new case was still pending and contested, and proposed a plan for continued compliance. After negotiation, the case was continued on deferred probation with modified terms, avoiding jail and a conviction.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, Hutto Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a municipal citation after a school incident where the client was accused of slapping a student. The client maintained it was a brief, consoling touch while trying to deescalate, and the supervising teacher did not witness a strike. We obtained the police report and school records, compared the student and classmate accounts to the adult witness statements, and noted the absence of any injury. With no prior history and credibility concerns in the evidence, we pressed the prosecutor to reevaluate. The case was dismissed.
