Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Deadly Conduct (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, Count Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police alleged the client committed misdemeanor deadly conduct after a tense encounter at a convenience store and parking lot with two strangers. According to our client, the pair shouted threats, followed him inside, and later moved toward him near their vehicle. Fearing an attack, he displayed his firearm and left. We moved quickly to obtain surveillance video and witness accounts to document the threats and his attempts to disengage. Using that context, we negotiated a non-jail resolution and secured a term of probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute at a residence, and our client was arrested for assault based largely on the complainant’s initial statement. We obtained the police reports, bodycam video, and the detective’s notes, then compared them against later statements and identified key inconsistencies in the account of what happened. We also secured an affidavit of non-prosecution from the complainant and presented it to the DA. With credibility issues and no independent corroboration, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a rollover crash reportedly caused by another vehicle, officers found the client disoriented and unsteady while bystanders assisted. He completed field sobriety tests and later consented to a blood draw, which led to a first offense DWI charge. We documented the collision dynamics and the effects of shock from the wreck, and used those circumstances to challenge how the roadside tests were interpreted. Our team also addressed bond conditions by obtaining approval for portable alcohol monitoring since he did not have a car. With that mitigation and continued negotiations, the case resolved with deferred probation.

Public Intoxication

Location

Officers responded to a disturbance at an apartment complex.

We requested and reviewed available discovery, including the 911 audio, body cam footage, and police reports. The materials showed our client was cooperative, on premises connected to the residence, and exhibited no safety risk. We highlighted the missing elements of the offense in negotiations. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Using that context in negotiations, we secured deferred probation on a misdemeanor.

The client was stopped for speeding after leaving a small gathering and admitted to having a few beers. A stuck window led to an exit from the vehicle, and roadside tests were performed. Officers obtained a warrant and drew blood hours later, which came back over the limit. We pulled the patrol video, scrutinized the delayed draw and the test instructions, and pressed those issues in talks with the state. They would not dismiss, but our leverage improved the terms. The case resolved with probation and no jail time.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, JP2

Allegations

After a domestic dispute at a home, police arrested our client for Class C assault when a short clip from her home security camera appeared to show her pushing and slapping during the aftermath. We pulled the complete video, which captured the other party first shoving her to the ground, punching her, and kicking her, and reviewed body cam footage showing officers only saw part of the scene. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non prosecution, which we provided. At the next setting we played the video for the prosecutor and pressed the credibility issues. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

We compiled these issues, pressed the prosecutor, and made clear we were ready to litigate suppression and trial. The prosecution dismissed the UCW.
