Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court

Allegations

The case began when officers responded to a dispute. They asked the client to leave and use a rideshare, then performed field sobriety tests while the client was cold and shaking. Later, after returning to a parked truck with a minor child and moving the vehicle, officers stopped and arrested for DWI with child passenger. Two breath samples registered .078 and .073. We pressed the below-limit results and the testing conditions in negotiations, and secured deferred probation to avoid a final conviction.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Our client pulled off the road to get away from a tailgater and was sideswiped at low speed. Her door was pinned against the other car, she saw children inside, waited for a while, then left intending to call from home because she felt unsafe. An officer later contacted her and made an arrest for failing to stop and render aid. We pulled the police reports, confirmed no injuries were reported, provided insurance proof, and showed she could not safely exchange information. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was charged after a minor two vehicle collision where officers alleged they left before exchanging information. We moved quickly to collect the crash report, insurance confirmations, and repair estimates showing the other driver's damage was covered. Our team verified there were no injuries and arranged restitution for any out of pocket deductible. We delivered the documentation to the prosecutor and pressed for a noncriminal resolution. With the civil loss made whole, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a parking lot, not during a traffic stop. Field sobriety tests were conducted despite medical limitations, and the client initially refused a blood draw before officers obtained a sample several hours later. We emphasized the lack of observed driving, the delayed blood evidence, and issues visible on the testing video. After sustained negotiations built around those weaknesses and the client’s circumstances, the case was resolved with a term of probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Late at night, the client dozed off at a traffic light and was arrested for a second DWI. They reported only a couple of beers after a long workday with little sleep, and declined a breath test. Marijuana was in the vehicle, but no separate charge followed. We obtained the discovery, emphasized the role of fatigue, and highlighted the absence of a breath result while pressing weaknesses in the observations. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to a plea placing the client on probation.

Charge

Theft (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 26th Judicial District Court

Allegations

During a home renovation dispute, the client was accused of taking a deposit without completing the job. We gathered contracts, messages, and payment records showing most of the work was performed and that a substantial portion of funds went directly to independent contractors, not the client. We addressed a missed court setting, got the warrant recalled, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor. The complaining party's representative confirmed they did not want to pursue the case. Framing the matter as a civil contract issue, not theft, we secured a full dismissal.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The case began after a nighttime crash brought officers to the scene. The client, who had a prior DWI, performed field tests, declined a breath test, and a blood sample was later taken. We obtained the videos and lab records, documented the client’s proactive steps, including completing a DWI course, attending meetings, and strict interlock compliance, and prepared to contest the state’s proof while negotiating. Leveraging those mitigations and our readiness to litigate, we secured straight probation with no additional jail time.

Charge

Forgery (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of forging checks from another person's account, a serious felony. We moved quickly to investigate and obtained prior statements from the account holder that did not implicate our client and pointed toward another individual. We compared those statements with the police reports and exposed inconsistencies in how the checks were attributed. When the complainant later became unavailable to testify, we pressed the evidentiary gaps with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance (THC)

Location

Williamson County, 26th DC

Allegations

Police executed a search warrant at the client’s home, seizing multiple THC vape cartridges and marijuana, and later took the client’s phone while trying to build a delivery case tied to a confidential informant. We dug into the basis for the warrant, the scope of the phone search, and how the evidence was logged and tested. We highlighted the client’s lack of criminal history and steady compliance while the case was pending. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, and the court lifted electronic monitoring and set a shorter term.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after an argument at a residence, arresting our client based mainly on the complainant's initial statement. The client denied any assault and identified a family member who witnessed what happened. We secured that witness account and presented a non-prosecution affidavit the complainant later signed. Citing conflicting narratives and proof issues, we challenged the state's ability to prove the allegation at trial. The case was reduced to a lesser charge with credit for time served, closing the matter.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was stopped for failing to signal a lane change. After admitting to a few drinks, they were given field sobriety tests and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We secured the videos, the warrant affidavit, and the lab paperwork, then pressed the state on whether the observations and test performance actually established probable cause. We challenged the reliability of the FSTs and the sufficiency of the warrant. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

While on deferred adjudication, our client faced a felony motion to revoke after probation alleged a new law violation and alcohol use, both barred by the conditions. We obtained the probation file and records from the incident, showing the new allegation was disputed and that there was no reliable proof of a willful breach. We compiled those issues, pressed the State on the evidentiary gaps, and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution withdrew the motion, and the court dismissed the case.
