Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Assault by Contact (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, Taylor City Municipal Court

Allegations

A dispute in a store parking area escalated after another driver argued with our client. Voices were raised, the other man postured aggressively, and our client briefly made physical contact. No bodily injury was alleged, and a citation arrived later rather than an on‑scene arrest. We obtained the reports and available video, emphasized the mutual nature of the confrontation and self‑defense concerns, and pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. We secured deferred disposition with a brief class, and after compliance the case was dismissed.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance in Williamson County. We moved quickly to obtain the police reports and lab paperwork, then walked the state's evidence from seizure to testing to assess what could actually be proved at trial. We also prepared mitigation and background materials to provide context and reduce perceived risk. After presenting our analysis and submissions in negotiations, the prosecution chose not to proceed and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Minor Possession, Purchase, Consumption, or Receipt of Tobacco or E-Cigarette Products

Location

Williamson County, jp2

Allegations

The client received a citation for alleged minor possession or purchase of tobacco or e-cigarette products after a brief police contact. We pulled the officer’s report and discovery, then scrutinized how the product was linked to our client and whether the elements of possession or purchase could be proven. The paperwork contained gaps and no clear, independent corroboration tying the item to our client at the time alleged. We highlighted those evidentiary weaknesses and made clear we were ready to contest the citation in court. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

While on deferred adjudication probation for a prior misdemeanor, the client was accused of a new offense in another jurisdiction and a motion to revoke was filed. We gathered proof that the client had completed community service, finished the required class, paid all fees, and had otherwise complied. We emphasized that the new case was still pending and contested, and proposed a plan for continued compliance. After negotiation, the case was continued on deferred probation with modified terms, avoiding jail and a conviction.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was accused of DWI with a child after an incident at a residence. While trying to get the children to safety during a dispute, the client briefly moved a vehicle to a nearby driveway, which was recorded by a bystander. There were no field sobriety tests, only a later blood draw. We obtained the video and body camera footage, scrutinized the lab work, and presented a necessity and minimal‑operation narrative. Faced with these issues and mitigation, the state reduced the charge and the client received straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The case began after a single-vehicle crash. Our client was found unconscious and taken to a hospital, where a blood draw later showed a BAC just under the legal limit. The officer’s DWI investigation occurred after hospital staff administered morphine, calling into question every clue he relied on. We pulled the bodycam, reports, and medical records to map the timeline and challenged the reliability of the evidence. After we set the case for trial and kept pressure on the state, the prosecution agreed to dismiss if two online classes were completed. The client finished them, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault (Class C)

Location

Williamson County, Hutto Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued a municipal citation after a school incident where the client was accused of slapping a student. The client maintained it was a brief, consoling touch while trying to deescalate, and the supervising teacher did not witness a strike. We obtained the police report and school records, compared the student and classmate accounts to the adult witness statements, and noted the absence of any injury. With no prior history and credibility concerns in the evidence, we pressed the prosecutor to reevaluate. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Felon in Possession of a Firearm (Investigation)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

Law enforcement agents executed a search at a family residence where our client was staying and seized multiple firearms that were owned by relatives. No arrest followed, and the electronics taken during the search were later returned. We were retained during the investigation, collected the warrant cover sheet and the itemized property list, and documented statements from household members about ownership and storage. We made clear that mere access did not establish control or possession. Authorities closed the matter and it was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC5

Allegations

Stopped for a broken brake light, our client declined field sobriety tests and was arrested for DWI. At the station, two breath samples registered .093 and .089. We obtained the dashcam and station video and emphasized that this was an equipment stop, with no roadside tests to show impairment. We also pulled the breath-testing records and pressed the state on proof of compliance and reliability at the time of testing. With limited impairment evidence and our challenges to the breath results, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CC2

Allegations

After a single-vehicle rollover, officers claimed our client showed signs of intoxication and had them perform field sobriety tests despite the client reporting significant back pain. At the hospital, police obtained a blood draw after medication was administered and later alleged an open container was found in the wrecked vehicle. We secured body-cam video and medical records showing serious spinal injuries and zero alcohol. We challenged the claimed odor, the validity of the field tests, and the timing and reliability of toxicology. We also noted the container likely shifted during the rollover. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Theft Under $100 (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, Georgetown Municipal Court

Allegations

Store loss prevention detained our client after alleging a price‑tag switch on a low‑value item, and police issued a citation for Class C theft. We demanded full discovery and obtained surveillance and point‑of‑sale footage showing the client paying for the merchandise. The state could not produce the original item or clear images tying any removed label to the purchase, and several video files they provided would not play. We pressed those evidentiary gaps and prepared for trial. Facing a weak record, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

A traffic stop in a downtown area led to an arrest after the client performed field sobriety tests and acknowledged recent drinking. A breath test registered at 0.08, and the client had no prior record. We gathered the reports and pressed the borderline reading and clean history in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to a dismissal path conditioned on completing a course and community service. We tracked progress to ensure everything was finished before the discharge date. After completion, the case was dismissed.
