Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Caldwell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

An off duty officer reported that a vehicle clipped a roadside object and pulled into a gas station. Police arrived, noted alcohol odor, and located an open container after a vehicle search. The client declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a blood sample hours after the driving event. No standardized field sobriety tests were recorded. We dissected the videos, emphasized the delay before the blood draw and gaps in testing, and presented mitigation from immediate sobriety efforts and a clean record. The state agreed to a probationary outcome.

Charge

Bigamy

Location

Harris County, 488th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of bigamy based on a disputed relationship history. We built a clear timeline, reviewed messages and family-court materials, and documented that the other person had lived separately as a guest and that there was no second marriage paperwork or record. We highlighted inconsistencies in statements about dates and status that undercut the allegation. After a focused presentation to the prosecution outlining these proof problems and the absence of any valid marriage record, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

The case stemmed from a massage session where, weeks later, the complainant alleged inappropriate contact. We pulled the full message history and social media posts, which showed friendly follow up the next day, an offer to leave a review, and no immediate complaint. We also documented the use of warm massage oil and how it could explain the sensation the complainant later described. Those credibility and timing issues, combined with the absence of corroborating evidence, gave us leverage in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client resolved the case with a sentence of time served.

Charge

Stalking (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 488th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of felony stalking tied to an ongoing custody dispute with a former partner. Communications were kept to a parenting app and scheduled child exchanges, which the client routinely recorded on a personal camera and phone. Our team moved to secure that digital evidence through a property release or motion, then organized the videos and message logs into a clear timeline. The recordings showed calm, brief exchanges and no unscheduled contact. After we presented this package to the prosecutor and challenged the allegation, the state dismissed the stalking case.

Charge

Public Lewdness

Location

Bexar County, CC11

Allegations

Officers contacted our client in a parked car at a closed public area late at night and filed a lewdness charge. Both occupants were fully clothed when approached, and officers cited a condom in the vehicle rather than any observed conduct. We pressed for the state’s evidence, dissected the reports, and focused on whether the public view element could be met given the secluded location. We also raised concerns about the basis for the detention and any statements obtained afterward. Faced with those evidentiary problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The case arose from a crash during icy conditions, where the client’s vehicle struck another and officers later issued a citation for collision involving damage over $200. We obtained the police materials and insurance documentation confirming the property damage was fully covered and no restitution remained. We compiled that proof with mitigation and context about the road conditions and submitted it to the prosecutor. After targeted negotiations, the state agreed the criminal charge was unnecessary and dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Coryell County, None

Allegations

During a traffic stop, an officer claimed our client made a wide turn and questioned them about nearby burglaries. Backup arrived and, after our client initially refused a search, officers said they would take them to jail and search anyway. A search of a backpack followed, and psilocybin was logged as evidence. We obtained the dash and body camera video and reports, highlighting the shaky basis for the stop and the coercive consent. We pressed the state on suppression issues and plain‑view inconsistencies. Facing exclusion of the key evidence, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Bexar County, CC11

Allegations

Officers approached our client in a parked car at a closed park, ordered the occupants out, and searched the vehicle, finding a handgun under the driver's seat. The weapon charge hinged on an alleged underlying offense that prompted the detention. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the expansion to a vehicle search, and inconsistencies about what officers could actually see. We also flagged statements taken before any Miranda warning. After we presented these issues and made clear we were ready to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a no bond warrant issued alleging missed classes, unpaid fees, and multiple positive tests. We entered the case, obtained the motion and supervision records, and engaged both probation and the prosecutor. Our team compiled documentation of his work schedule and written correspondence showing he had asked for guidance on costs and scheduling, and we challenged how several violations were being counted. With a hearing approaching, we kept pressure on the State. The motion to revoke was dismissed and the client remained on probation with no new penalties.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Police found the client stopped at a traffic light and conducted roadside tests before making an arrest. A later blood draw reported a BAC well over .15, and officers also noted open containers in the vehicle. We obtained and reviewed the dash and body camera footage along with the blood records to evaluate the case. In parallel, we guided the client through proactive alcohol education and an evaluation to demonstrate accountability. Presenting that mitigation, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

Police found the client asleep at a traffic light and conducted field sobriety tests before making a DWI arrest. A blood sample was later taken after officers indicated they would secure a warrant. Our team obtained the bodycam, reports, and the blood-warrant paperwork, then pressed issues with the reliability of the roadside testing and the handling and timing of the draw. Faced with those problems and our readiness to litigate suppression, the state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Ellis County, 443RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

While on deferred probation, the client was later arrested for driving while license invalid, and probation filed a felony motion to revoke. He was initially held without bond. We moved quickly to seek a bond setting and compiled proof that fees were current, classes were completed, and an occupational license had been pursued and approved. We reviewed the violation report, corrected inaccuracies about nonpayment, and delivered documented compliance to the prosecutor. After sustained negotiations, the State withdrew the revocation, and the court dismissed the motion.
