Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was accused of misdemeanor criminal trespass after a relative reported they entered a residence during a period of apparent intoxication. We moved quickly to understand the dynamics of the situation and contacted the reporting party, who later indicated they did not want to pursue the matter. We presented that position to the prosecutor along with context about the relationship and the circumstances surrounding the incident, emphasizing weaknesses in proving unauthorized entry. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Accident Involving Damage to Vehicle (Over $200)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

The client was charged after a minor two vehicle collision where officers alleged they left before exchanging information. We moved quickly to collect the crash report, insurance confirmations, and repair estimates showing the other driver's damage was covered. Our team verified there were no injuries and arranged restitution for any out of pocket deductible. We delivered the documentation to the prosecutor and pressed for a noncriminal resolution. With the civil loss made whole, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Our client pulled off the road to get away from a tailgater and was sideswiped at low speed. Her door was pinned against the other car, she saw children inside, waited for a while, then left intending to call from home because she felt unsafe. An officer later contacted her and made an arrest for failing to stop and render aid. We pulled the police reports, confirmed no injuries were reported, provided insurance proof, and showed she could not safely exchange information. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance (THC)

Location

Williamson County, 26th DC

Allegations

Police executed a search warrant at the client’s home, seizing multiple THC vape cartridges and marijuana, and later took the client’s phone while trying to build a delivery case tied to a confidential informant. We dug into the basis for the warrant, the scope of the phone search, and how the evidence was logged and tested. We highlighted the client’s lack of criminal history and steady compliance while the case was pending. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, and the court lifted electronic monitoring and set a shorter term.

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

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

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

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, JP3

Allegations

Officers responded to a call about an intoxicated person at a commercial area and issued our client a public intoxication citation. The client later discovered the ticket had been filed. We pulled the police report and scrutinized the officer's observations, centering on the requirement that the person be a danger to self or others. The paperwork reflected few objective signs of impairment and no specific safety risk. We pressed those gaps with the prosecutor, and the charge was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Use of a Criminal Instrument

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop, officers seized our client's work tools and claimed they were criminal instruments. We documented legitimate reasons for having the tools, including regular work and parts pickups, and obtained statements supporting that explanation. Reviewing the police reports, we found no evidence of intended criminal use, no modifications, and no offense linked to the tools. We presented those gaps and made clear we were ready to litigate the issue. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Illegal Dumping of Trash

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

After clearing out a residence, the client and two others left bulky items at dumpsters behind a commercial complex when their usual facility was closed. Investigators later traced them through a document found in the debris. The client promptly cooperated, met with officers, and tried to fix it by going back to clean up, providing a truck receipt as proof. We got involved early, documented the remediation, and challenged the reliability of the statements taken and the lack of clear notice against dumping. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police approached the client's parked car after a companion was detained for suspected shoplifting. Officers said they smelled marijuana, questioned the client, and then found a firearm in the glove box after the client disclosed its presence. We scrutinized the legality of the initial contact, the basis for the vehicle search, and whether the state could prove every element of unlawful carrying. We emphasized there was no evidence our client participated in the store incident and raised suppression issues regarding the search and statements. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Illegal Dumping

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was accused after assisting two others with a cleanout and leaving household debris near dumpsters when a usual site was closed. Law enforcement contacted them later, and they gave statements by phone and at an office about the items and vehicles. We reviewed the investigative materials and analyzed each statement, noting they were non-custodial and equivocal about roles and location. We pressed the State on proving the alleged volume that elevated the charge and the lack of direct proof tying our client to a specific dump site. Faced with these weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.
