Assault - Family Violence

Location

The prosecution then dismissed the charge, with eligibility for expunction after the waiting period.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, 26th DC// cc3

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after a third party called 911. Officers alleged our client impeded breathing during the argument and arrested him, while he reported being bitten by a dog in the struggle and had no prior record. We reviewed the state's account and highlighted the mutual nature of the confrontation and the injuries he sustained. He complied with the protective order while the case moved forward. Using that context in negotiations, we secured deferred probation on a misdemeanor.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, Georgetown Municipal Court

Allegations

Officers responded to a disturbance at an apartment complex. At their request, our client stepped outside to give a statement and was arrested for public intoxication despite planning to remain at the residence and posing no danger. 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.

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.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers arrested the client for suspected DWI and added an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge after locating a handgun in the vehicle. We obtained the police reports and scrutinized how the stop escalated, the justification for the search, and the theory that turned otherwise lawful vehicle carry into a crime. We compiled these issues, pressed the prosecutor, and made clear we were ready to litigate suppression and trial. The prosecution dismissed the UCW.

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

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

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police were called after a dispute at a residence when an ex-partner arrived uninvited and tried to leave with the client’s clothing. As he took back a hoodie at the car, the door closed and she later alleged her leg was caught, leading to a family violence charge. We dissected the officer’s report and statements, spotlighting the property-dispute context and the lack of proof that the client intentionally caused injury. After firm negotiations and preparing to litigate, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Terroristic Threat - Family/Household

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a heated family dispute, a relative reported a phone call where the client said something he regretted, telling them he would fight. The allegation was based on that call, with no conduct beyond the argument. We gathered statements and affidavits from those involved showing they did not feel threatened and did not want to pursue charges. We highlighted the lack of a specific or credible threat, pointed out the weaknesses in proof, and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute at a residence after an argument earlier in the day. The client said they were invited in, things got heated, and they were preparing to leave when officers arrived. Reports noted a mark on the complainant, while the broken finger mentioned was from an earlier, unrelated incident. We scrutinized the reports and statements, documented inconsistencies, and noted the complainant did not want to pursue the case. After negotiations, the state agreed to resolve it with deferred probation, avoiding jail and a trial.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for expired registration led to a DWI arrest. The officer noted an alcohol odor and claimed multiple clues on the roadside tests. At the station, hours later, a breath test read just over .15. We obtained body-cam and Intoxilyzer records and challenged the instructions, scoring, and the delay, noting the balance test was performed accurately. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated deferred probation with interlock and classes, avoiding a final conviction if the client completes the terms.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was stopped for not maintaining a single lane after leaving a bar. He admitted to having a few drinks and did roadside tests, noting difficulty on the walk-and-turn and one-leg stand. He refused breath and blood testing, and no sample was ever taken. We secured the dash and body camera recordings, challenged the basis for the stop and the way the tests were administered, and emphasized how steady and coherent he appeared on video. With no BAC and shaky field evidence, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with straight probation.
