Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Illegal Dumping

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

During a home renovation, our client and others found their usual dumpster full and, late at night, left construction debris in a private commercial dumpster. Investigators traced the load to them through paperwork in the trash and surveillance, and the client provided a written statement. The next day they tried to retrieve the items for proper disposal. We documented those remedial steps, the client's clean history, and completion of an environmental compliance course. After presenting this mitigation, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Williamson County, jp3

Allegations

After an arrest for public intoxication, our client was cited into a JP court. We immediately requested discovery, including body camera video, and pressed the State on whether the facts actually met the elements of the offense. The court initially offered deferred disposition, and later the prosecutor floated a dismissal if the client completed an alcohol awareness course. We declined to accept conditions, laid out our concerns with the evidence, and kept negotiating. The State agreed to dismiss the charge outright, ending the case with no conviction.

Charge

Interference with an Emergency Call

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic argument at a residence after a 911 call came in. The report claimed our client grabbed a phone to stop a call for help, leading to a charge for interference with an emergency call. We obtained the 911 audio and body camera video and compared them to the complainant’s statements. The recording suggested the call was accidental, and her accounts shifted between threatening to call and actually dialing, undermining any knowing attempt to block assistance. We pressed those defects with the prosecutor, and the interference charge was dismissed.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Police detained our client after a traffic stop and reported finding a handgun, leading to a charge of unlawful carrying. We reviewed the dash and body camera footage and found no recording of the initial stop, repeated mutes on the body cam, and gaps while the client was in the patrol car. Reports also conflicted about when the weapon was first observed. We challenged the legality of the detention and the discovery of the firearm. After negotiations, the state dismissed the case with the firearm voluntarily forfeited.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a traffic stop, officers claimed the client tried to walk away and filed an evading charge. We obtained all dash and body camera footage. There was no video of the initial stop, the bodycam audio was repeatedly muted, and the only in-car clip created more questions than answers. We documented these gaps along with the officers approaching and holding the client at taser point. After we presented these issues and pressed the weaknesses in the evidence, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was asked to leave a local gym after an allegation of indecent exposure, and detectives began calling and later visited the residence. Before any interview occurred, we got involved and became the point of contact. We prepared the client, gathered context about the incident, and challenged the accusation during discussions with the investigator. With no statement from our client and after our communications with law enforcement and the prosecutor, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Misdemeanor)

Location

Williamson County, None

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving the scene after a minor rear-end collision. When the other driver began shouting, our client had a panic reaction and left the area, leaving the vehicle behind. No injuries were reported. We moved quickly to gather the tow and dispatch records, document the client's anxiety history, and reconstruct the timeline showing immediate efforts to secure the car. We presented this context and the absence of injury to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.
