Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

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

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.

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

Harassment

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The case stemmed from a breakup where the client sent angry texts and emails and contacted the other person’s new partner, including a threat to share intimate photos. After a warrant issued, we gathered the communications and mapped the timeline. The records showed ongoing mutual blocking and renewed contact, with requests to stop contact occurring amid two-way messaging rather than a one-sided campaign. Meanwhile, the complainant stopped engaging with investigators. We presented these problems to the state, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Williamson County, DC 26

Allegations

The case stemmed from an incident at a residence where a firearm accidentally discharged, injuring our client's hand. A roommate reported that the gun had been pointed at them, leading to an aggravated assault charge, which our client denied. With no prior record and hospital treatment for the hand wound after the accidental discharge, we focused negotiations on lack of intent and safety concerns. We guided the client through addressing the warrant and court process while communicating with the complainant and the state. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to resolve the case with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client's record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After striking debris on the roadway, the client continued driving on a damaged tire and was stopped by police. The client acknowledged having a few drinks, completed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample over the legal limit. We focused negotiations on the fact that the unusual driving stemmed from a mechanical issue, not impairment, and noted that one of the officers present was in training during the roadside testing. We emphasized the client’s clean history and cooperation. The prosecutor agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Williamson County, JP3

Allegations

A routine traffic stop for an expired registration led an officer to claim he smelled marijuana, then search the vehicle and seize a grinder and pipe. Only a paraphernalia citation was ultimately filed in a local JP court. We gathered the reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop and search, and engaged the prosecutor early. We secured an agreement that the case would be dismissed upon proof of an approved class and a series of clean drug tests. The client completed the requirements, we submitted documentation, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 277th Judicial District Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for expired registration, an officer with a K-9 conducted a sniff that led to a search. Police reported finding a small bag, a pipe, and several grams of meth. Our client explained the items were left by another person earlier. We dug into the justification for the stop, the timing and reliability of the canine alert, and the lab weight, which appeared to include packaging and paraphernalia. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor. The state ultimately reduced the case to a lesser charge.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a registration issue, an officer reported smelling marijuana and searched the vehicle, recovering a small amount in a grinder. We dug into the basis for the stop and the search, then opened a dialogue with the prosecutor while building mitigation. At our direction, the client completed a drug education course and provided three clean drug tests. We compiled the documentation and submitted it ahead of the court setting, making clear we were ready to litigate the search issues. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, JP4

Allegations

After a day outdoors with friends and too much to drink, the client chose to sleep in a parked vehicle, engine on for heat, after an argument made returning home difficult. Hours later an officer conducted a welfare check, noted an open container, and made a public intoxication arrest. We scrutinized the report and highlighted that there was no disorderly conduct, no danger to others, and no intent to drive. We negotiated a path to dismissal that required a short class and a modest fee. The client completed everything, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police filed indecent assault charges after an incident at a resort where alcohol and a dispute preceded allegations of unwanted contact. We dug into the reports and pressed for the surveillance video referenced by security, which the state never produced. For months the prosecution had difficulty securing the complainant, and we used that gap to push for better terms. As trial neared, they lined up the complainant and two bystanders, raising the risk at verdict given our client’s record. We negotiated a probation resolution that avoided jail and let the client move forward.
