Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, court 2

Allegations

Police contacted our client while seated in the driver’s seat of a stopped car with hazard lights on after a dispute among companions. The officer claimed an odor of marijuana, conducted field sobriety tests, then repeated the tests at a station with a different officer, obtained a high breath reading, and still sought a blood warrant. We emphasized that no officer ever saw the car being driven, noted reported mechanical issues, and challenged the basis for duplicative testing and the warrant. After we pressed these problems with the state, the DWI was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Dangerous Drug

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police encountered our client and found prescription pills in a container that did not match the label, leading to a misdemeanor dangerous drug charge. The client explained the original bottle had been damaged and the medication was transferred to another container. We obtained pharmacy records and a doctor’s letter confirming an active prescription and ongoing medical need. We provided that documentation and emphasized there was no unlawful intent. After reviewing our materials, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for a turn violation following alleged speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. On video, they were polite and steady, showing only limited clues on the walk-and-turn and one-leg-stand. The officer noted watery eyes and an alcohol odor. The client declined both breath and blood testing, a warrant was obtained, and the lab reported a 0.139 BAC. We dissected the stop, the FST instructions, and the evidentiary chain, then leveraged our findings to secure pretrial diversion. After completing the program, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Collision Involving Serious Bodily Injury

Location

Williamson County, 368th

Allegations

The case stemmed from a roadway collision that injured a scooter rider. Investigators seized the client’s vehicle while they pursued crash data. We pushed for the vehicle’s release, pulled all available videos and bodycam, and analyzed the crash sequence in detail. The evidence showed braking at the moment of contact and that the driver later pulled over to check for damage, undercutting any claim of intentional flight. We presented these issues to the prosecution, the grand jury declined to indict, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Williamson County, 512th Judicial District Court

Allegations

After a domestic dispute during a breakup at a residence, the client was accused of family violence by strangulation based largely on the complainant's later report. We quickly preserved the client's videos showing him asking her to leave and compiled text messages reflecting ongoing contact after a protective order, including her admission that she misrepresented that contact to police. We pursued open records to corroborate discrepancies and built a credibility challenge. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

While on misdemeanor probation, the client faced a motion to revoke based on a disputed domestic incident and alleged no-contact concerns. We moved quickly, filed our notice of representation, and demanded discovery and police records. Our team reviewed the protective order terms and collected the client’s videos and text messages. The messages showed ongoing contact initiated by the other party and statements that conflicted with the initial account. We presented these credibility issues and the weak proof of any violation, and the State dismissed the motion.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance

Location

Williamson County, 277th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police stopped the client after claiming an unsafe maneuver, then brought in a K9 and conducted a search. Two first-degree counts for manufacture or delivery were initially filed for cocaine and meth, but the meth count was dropped early and bond was set high with monitoring conditions. We obtained the reports and video, scrutinized whether a valid traffic infraction occurred, and challenged any prolonged detention for the dog sniff. We also pressed the state on proof of intent to deliver. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the remaining case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was found roadside with a disabled vehicle, and what began as a welfare check became a DWI investigation. Officers moved the client to a lot for field sobriety tests and later obtained a breath sample reported around 0.12. With no prior record, the client promptly complied with bond conditions, including installing an interlock. We obtained and reviewed the video and reports, documented the apparent mechanical issue and lack of crash evidence, and presented mitigation and treatment readiness. The state agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

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.
