Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, our client was arrested on a second DWI. They refused a breath test, and a blood sample was drawn many hours later. We pulled the dash and body cam footage, which showed the field sobriety tests on a sloped roadside while the client wore heeled boots, and the client appeared clear and coordinated. We emphasized that speeding alone is not proof of intoxication and that the video undercut the officer’s conclusions. We also challenged the ability to tie a delayed blood result to the time of driving. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic disturbance at a residence where the complainant said our client grabbed her by the neck and impeded her breathing. The case was built largely on that initial statement. We investigated the scene narrative, tracked down others who were present, and compared their accounts with the report. Those witness statements described a loud argument and conflicted with key parts of the accusation. Using the credibility issues we identified, we negotiated deferred probation and kept a felony conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The client was arrested in Williamson County for unauthorized use of a vehicle. We moved quickly to obtain the reports and full discovery. After comparing the timeline and chain of possession, we raised evidentiary concerns about whether the state could prove knowing operation without consent. We paired that with mitigation showing the client’s cooperation while the case was pending. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, and the court credited time already served, closing the matter.

Charge

Aggravated Robbery

Location

Williamson County, 26th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of aggravated robbery after an incident reported to law enforcement. Our team obtained the discovery and carefully evaluated statements and reports. We challenged the sufficiency of the State's proof and questioned whether the evidence actually established the charged offense. Throughout negotiations we made clear we were ready to litigate those issues. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Stopped for an expired registration, the client admitted to having drinks earlier and was asked to perform roadside sobriety tests while wearing heels. She consented to a vehicle search and later provided a breath sample. We scrutinized the officer’s instructions and the testing conditions, arguing the footwear and setup made the results unreliable. In parallel, we secured a pretrial diversion agreement that required classes, monitoring, and community service. The client completed the program, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Williamson County, 277th DC

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision and conducted field sobriety tests, then arrested our client for DWI. The client declined breath testing, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant. With prior DWI history elevating the stakes, we moved quickly to obtain all discovery, scrutinized the reports, video, and the blood-draw paperwork, and assembled mitigation documenting treatment efforts. After persistent negotiations with the prosecution, the case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL5

Allegations

After a night out, the client was involved in a traffic collision and was arrested for DWI. They remembered little of the encounter and reported concerns their drink may have been tampered with. At the station they declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a warrant for a blood draw. Our team obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the stop narrative, the warrant, and the lab paperwork, and readied suppression arguments. We emphasized the client’s clean history and prompt compliance after release. The state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police were called to a domestic dispute outside a residence after a bystander reported a commotion over a phone. Officers arrested our client for family violence based largely on the complainant's on-scene account. We obtained the bodycam video and reports and documented how the complainant's description shifted between the initial statement and later discussion. The footage also captured a chaotic scene and rapid escalation by officers. Leveraging the inconsistencies and our client's clean history, we negotiated deferred probation to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police responded to a reported disturbance at a residence. The client returned to speak with officers, but as he stepped from his car multiple officers moved in, one with a weapon drawn, and attempted to force him to the ground. He hesitated and was accused of resisting. We obtained the bodycam and built a minute by minute timeline showing overlapping commands and a takedown initiated within seconds, leaving little opportunity to comply. After we presented these issues and pressed the state on proof, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Terroristic Threat (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The arrest stemmed from a domestic dispute where a bystander told police our client threatened them while officers were taking him into custody. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam, and written statements. The recordings captured heated language, but no clear, specific threat of imminent harm, and the bystander’s description did not match what was on video. We compiled those inconsistencies and challenged the state’s ability to prove intent. Confronted with the evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

The client was stopped after leaving a bar, admitted to drinking, and was arrested for DWI. He believed he performed the field sobriety tests well and did not consent to a vehicle search or a blood draw. We investigated the stop, reviewed the reports and available video, and questioned the justification for the stop, as well as the handling of consent and any implied refusal. We also pointed out a later officer remark about the reason for the stop that conflicted with what was documented. Faced with those issues, the State agreed to place our client in pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was stopped for driving without headlights after a recent vehicle service and was arrested for DWI. They admitted to having a drink, completed roadside tests, refused a breath test, and officers obtained a blood draw by warrant. We secured the dash and body camera footage, analyzed the sobriety testing instructions, and documented inconsistencies and confusion caused by the officer. When the lab result returned below 0.08, we pressed the state on probable cause and the lack of reliable impairment evidence, making clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.
