Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

During a traffic stop, officers arrested the client for suspected DWI and added an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge after locating a handgun in the vehicle. We obtained the police reports and scrutinized how the stop escalated, the justification for the search, and the theory that turned otherwise lawful vehicle carry into a crime. We compiled these issues, pressed the prosecutor, and made clear we were ready to litigate suppression and trial. The prosecution dismissed the UCW.

Charge

Sexual Assault of a Minor

Location

Williamson County, 368th DC

Allegations

The client was accused of sexually assaulting a minor after an incident at a private residence. We obtained the full discovery, including recorded statements, and scrutinized the timeline and details. Our team identified witnesses who were present and gathered mitigation showing the client’s steady school performance and strict compliance with court orders. We compiled that into a persuasive submission and pressed the state in negotiations. The matter was resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

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

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

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation for a DWI when a motion to revoke was filed after they lost employment, fell behind on fees, and their vehicle with the ignition interlock was repossessed. We gathered pay records, repossession notices, and other proof to show the lapses were the result of genuine financial hardship, not willful noncompliance. We engaged the probation office and prosecutor, outlined a plan to get back on track, and pressed the weaknesses in the allegations. The state dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Officers contacted the client during a stop and alleged the handgun in the center console made the carry unlawful. The initial probable cause paperwork was rejected, then the case was later refiled with a warrant. We moved quickly to arrange a walkthrough so the client was not taken into custody, obtained the body-cam and property records, and compared them to the reports. Our review showed inconsistent handling of the firearm and other property and no clear facts establishing unlawful carry. After we presented these problems to the prosecution, the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Failure to Identify

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

Police responded to a disturbance at a residence and contacted our client outside. Officers asked for identification, and the report claimed he provided another person’s name while detained. A search then produced his wallet with his actual ID, undercutting the basis for the charge. We pulled the charging affidavit and related records, dissected the timeline, and highlighted contradictions in the officer’s account and the elements of the offense. Before the next court setting, we presented these issues to the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Police accused our client of reckless driving after a serious crash that left another vehicle on its side. The client was transported to a hospital and later reported a significant head injury with memory gaps around the event. We demanded full discovery, including the officer’s video, and scrutinized the reports to separate accident trauma from any proof of reckless operation. We emphasized a plausible medical episode and the lack of clear evidence of willful disregard for safety. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Attempt to Take a Weapon from a Peace Officer

Location

Williamson County, 26th District Court

Allegations

Responding officers brought our client to a hospital during a severe mental health episode. In the ER, an officer reported the client reached toward the duty weapon, triggering a charge for attempting to take a peace officer's weapon. We moved quickly to secure medical records and the police reports, and documented the client's recent treatment and prescribed medications. We emphasized the crisis context and challenged whether the required intent could be proven. After sustained negotiations and presentation of our mitigation packet, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Burglary of a Habitation

Location

Williamson County, 368th District Court

Allegations

This case began with a heated family dispute at a residence. Officers alleged the client reentered the home and confronted others while a firearm was present, leading to a burglary of habitation charge. We collected messages showing he had been invited to the house and secured body camera footage where another participant admitted striking him first and witnesses indicated the gun stayed pointed at the floor. We pressed the State on consent to enter, credibility, and intent. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record if he completes the terms.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The case began after a traffic collision. Officers initially indicated our client could leave, then a second officer escalated the stop and a vehicle search followed, turning up two pistols and a small rifle stored in the vehicle. We pulled the bodycam and reports, which showed conflicting assessments of sobriety and that the firearms were lawfully possessed. We challenged the basis for any search and the claim that carrying was unlawful only because of an accompanying intoxication allegation. Faced with those defects, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Officers responded after a domestic dispute in a residence. Earlier that night, our client had called 911 to get help leaving. When the other person later placed a call, he grabbed the phone and ended it, realizing only as the screen flashed that it was 911. We examined the reports and timeline to show he lacked knowledge or intent to interfere, and emphasized that he had already sought police assistance himself. After sustained negotiations presenting that context, the prosecutor dismissed the interference charge.
