Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC7

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, EMS took our client to a hospital where police later obtained a blood sample under a warrant. Weeks afterward a DWI case was filed. We obtained the discovery and closely compared the hospital toxicology with the law enforcement blood kit results and lab paperwork, which showed materially different BAC numbers. We challenged the reliability of the blood evidence and pressed the issue with the prosecutor. Facing those problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, CCC3

Allegations

After a traffic incident, the client was arrested for first-offense DWI and gave a high breath sample at the jail. The report assumed our client was the driver. We dug in, secured phone video showing another person behind the wheel near the relevant timeframe, and used toll billing data to anchor the timestamps. We aligned the metadata and presented the timeline problem and the lack of proof of actual operation to the prosecutor. With the key element in doubt, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, CCC4

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding and arrested after the officer claimed slurred speech and poor performance on field tests. When asked for a blood sample, the client asked about a lawyer, which was treated as a refusal, and a warrant was obtained for a later draw that reported a very high BAC. We highlighted the client’s significant vision issues that could affect test performance and assembled mitigation early, including DWI education, a victim impact panel, and a substance abuse evaluation with supportive outpatient completed. We engaged the prosecution with this record and pushed for leniency. The state agreed to reduce the charges.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Police encountered the client stuck in a muddy field after taking a recently purchased car out with friends. Field sobriety tests were performed, but there was no breath or blood test because the client refused and no warrant was obtained. We pulled the body and dash camera footage and zeroed in on two gaps in the state’s case: who actually drove and whether any driving occurred in a public place. We dissected the sobriety testing and signaled readiness for trial. With no chemical evidence and key elements in doubt, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

The case began after our client replied to an online ad and exchanged texts about a paid sexual act before going to a hotel, where officers detained him in a sting. He had no prior record and declined to give a statement. We secured the full text thread, police report and body cam, and analyzed how the conversation developed and what actually happened at the door. We built a mitigation package highlighting background and collateral job consequences and had the client start appropriate classes. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred probation, avoiding a conviction if completed.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Montgomery County, 9th DC

Allegations

An online post led our client to arrange a hotel meet for sexual services, but the contact was an undercover officer. After a brief exchange and payment, officers entered as part of a sting and arrested multiple individuals. The client had no prior history. We stepped in early, demanded the full set of messages and reports, and positioned the case with proactive mitigation, including decision-making courses and character letters. Combined with persistent negotiations, that work secured deferred probation, avoiding a permanent conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The client was stopped after slowing at an intersection and making a wide right turn, then arrested for DWI. He admitted to a single drink at a bar, performed field tests, and blew a high score on a roadside device seconds after removing oral tobacco. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the thin basis for the stop, and highlighted reliability issues with the breath test while scrutinizing the blood draw. Diversion was denied due to the reported BAC, so we pressed negotiations and secured deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and setting the case up for dismissal upon completion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Collin County, CCL 5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an improper pass and alleged weaving, the client admitted to having some wine and was put through field sobriety tests. He repeatedly asked to use the restroom, was denied, and his medical history, including leg and back injuries, affected balance. We pulled the dash and body-cam video and highlighted shaky SFST instructions and the lack of accommodation. We also scrutinized the breath testing, noting no documented observation period and only one recorded sample. Using those problems, we negotiated deferred probation to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

Theft of Services (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

A citation was issued after a store dispute over a food order turned into an accusation of theft of services. The client had paid, was told a refund was processed, then left with the order during the confusion and later returned the food untouched. We gathered discovery and documented the payment and refund mix up to show there was no intent to steal. We presented those facts in negotiations and pushed back on any claim this was deliberate. The case concluded with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Waller County, None

Allegations

After a 911 caller reported reckless driving, officers found our client already parked and standing outside the vehicle. No officer saw any driving, and the client declined field sobriety testing and breath. Hours later a blood draw was done under a warrant at the jail, where the nurse hesitated and noted lacking proper sterilization supplies while drawing an incomplete set of vials. We demanded preservation of video, dissected the reports, and prepared to suppress the blood and any driving proof. Confronted with these defects, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Sexual Assault

Location

Harris County, 183rd DC

Allegations

Police sought our client on a Texas warrant alleging sexual assault after a social event. We engaged immediately, monitored his transfer, addressed bond and travel restrictions, and pulled the full case file, including exam reports, interviews, and recordings. Our investigation uncovered major inconsistencies in the complainant’s accounts. We also preserved an audio recording from that night reflecting consensual contact. We presented these credibility problems to the prosecution during grand jury review, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC2

Allegations

Police found the client stopped at a light and conducted roadside sobriety tests in a nearby lot, then arrested and obtained a consensual blood draw at the jail. We pulled the videos and reports and focused on how the tests were administered and on medical issues with the client’s knee and back that affect balance. We emphasized immediate compliance with bond conditions, including installing an interlock, and negotiated with the prosecutor. The case resolved with a probationary sentence.
