Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

While on misdemeanor deferred probation, the client was flagged for a violation and a motion to revoke was filed, which also generated a warrant. We moved quickly, contacted supervision and the assigned prosecutor, and compiled proof of the client’s compliance, including completion of a required class. We prepared for a walk-through if necessary, but after reviewing our submissions the state agreed not to proceed with revocation and to recall the warrant. The client was continued on deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers responded and reported an odor of alcohol. The client admitted to one or two drinks, did roadside tests, and was arrested. At the station, two breath samples read about 0.14 and 0.15, and a Class B DWI was filed. We quickly requested the ALR hearing, obtained the videos and breath-test records, and opened talks with the state. We also provided proof the damage was covered by insurance and had the client complete DWI classes. The case ended in deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record and positioning it for sealing after completion.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Atascosa County, 218th District Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an expired registration, officers asked to search the borrowed vehicle and the client consented. A vape cartridge with suspected THC oil, reportedly under a gram, was found on the rear floorboard; both occupants denied ownership. We obtained the police reports and bodycam, scrutinized the basis for the search, and pressed the State on proving the substance and weight through proper lab testing. With those issues on the table, we negotiated the felony down to a misdemeanor with deferred probation, keeping a felony conviction off the record.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Ellis County, 504TH DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police alleged our client struck an officer during booking after a chaotic mental health episode that began with a minor citation. We obtained the videos and reports, which showed no clear contact and key context missing from the officer’s account. We compiled medical records documenting the client’s condition and addressed the case’s procedural issues, including a warrant that surfaced despite consistent bond check-ins. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

Aggravated Assault

Location

Tarrant County, 432nd District Court

Allegations

A detective contacted our client after a domestic dispute led to an aggravated assault investigation. We intervened immediately, instructed the client not to speak with law enforcement, and took over all communications with the investigator. When a warrant followed, we coordinated a controlled surrender to avoid a surprise arrest while we prepared the defense. After reviewing the state’s reports and records, we demonstrated that the aggravated elements were not supported and key facts were uncorroborated. Confronted with those weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, County Court at Law # 2

Allegations

A late night traffic stop for running a red light led to a DWI arrest in Guadalupe County. The client admitted to drinking, performed field sobriety tests, and consented to a blood draw. We obtained the video evidence, police reports, and the lab packet, compared them to the officer’s narrative, and prepared targeted challenges. At the same time we built mitigation, including early DWI education, counseling, and proof of bond compliance. Leveraging that work, we negotiated deferred adjudication with probation, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Theft (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Dallas County, 292nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

A years-old warrant alleged felony theft from a former employer based on unauthorized checks and a claimed loss over $30,000. We verified the status, arranged a discreet surrender to avoid a surprise arrest, and secured reasonable bond terms. With discovery in hand, we challenged the loss valuation and scope of transactions and presented mitigation, including a clean history and proactive steps. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduced charge with deferred probation, keeping a felony off the client’s record.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 498th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client faced a misdemeanor motion to revoke probation after supervision alleged two violations, a pending investigation and claims that community service hours were falsified using phone records. We obtained the revocation packet and demanded every shred of proof. We explained that a mere investigation is not a new law violation and attacked the reliability of location data as a proxy for attendance. We identified witnesses from the service site and prepared to present them if a hearing became necessary. Confronted with these issues, the state dismissed the motion and the case was closed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

While on felony community supervision, a warrant issued alleging violations, including disputed drug tests and bond condition issues after friction with a probation officer. The client was stopped late at night for minor traffic infractions and booked on the warrant with no bond. We acted quickly, secured a bond below the original amount, and corrected a mistaken GPS requirement that was delaying release. We gathered class certificates, employment proof, and supervision records, and obtained time to prepare. In negotiations on the motion to revoke, we challenged the drug test basis and steered the case to deferred adjudication.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Dallas County

Allegations

After a minor collision with another vehicle, the driver left the area and later learned law enforcement was trying to make contact. We were retained during the investigation phase and immediately took over communications, instructing that no statements be made. Our review showed no injury claims and no reliable identification of the driver beyond a license plate. We monitored for any warrant activity and highlighted the evidentiary gaps. With no case filed and the investigation stalling out, the matter was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute that led to an arrest for family violence. We immediately gathered the client’s texts, call logs, and location records, and secured a witness who confirmed the other party initiated contact and escalated the situation. We compiled these materials to highlight credibility problems and context missing from the initial report. After pressing these issues with the prosecution, the State agreed to reduce the charge. The matter was resolved with a sentence of time served, and no additional jail time was imposed.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after the complainant reported messages and claimed the client drove past a residence. Our team got involved immediately, coordinated a safe court appearance on the warrant, and gathered digital records. We compiled text threads showing the complainant initiated contact, phone and location data confirming the client was elsewhere, and a witness to the threatening call. We presented these inconsistencies and the lack of proof of prohibited contact to the prosecutor. With key facts undermined, the case was dismissed.
