Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Collin County, 296th District Court

Allegations

The case arose from a store incident where two children ran into a parking lot with another adult as officers arrived. Police claimed our client, waiting in a vehicle with a third child, urged them by phone to run and charged felony child endangerment under a party theory. We obtained the police reports and available evidence, reconstructed the timeline, and showed there was no reliable proof our client directed the children or created a substantial risk. We presented mitigation and pressed these weaknesses. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 4

Allegations

Probation filed a revocation motion alleging alcohol use, an interlock violation, and a missed reporting event. The client showed the interlock lockouts were caused by the vendor restricting the device over a billing issue, and the earlier alcohol test had already been addressed with call-ins and a negative follow-up. We compiled invoices, service logs, and a clear timeline, then presented everything to the prosecutor. The state withdrew the motion, the court dismissed the case, and the client avoided arrest and a bond.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Travis County, 299TH

Allegations

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute at a residence that escalated when a firearm was allegedly involved. Police responded to a 911 call, documented visible injuries, and recorded bodycam video, and EMS memorialized statements the State intended to use. We obtained the footage and reports, clarified the sequence of events, and highlighted context that favored our client. The complainant later indicated they did not wish to pursue the case, which we used in negotiations. After sustained discussions with the prosecution, we secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off our client's record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL14

Allegations

After striking a highway median when a tire likely blew, the client called for assistance. At the scene, officers had her perform field sobriety tests while wearing heels, then two breath devices produced error messages and they obtained a blood sample. We secured the body and dash camera footage and reports, highlighted the testing circumstances and equipment issues, and underscored that she sought help rather than tried to evade contact. The blood result was 0.139, below the enhancement threshold. Leveraging these points and mitigation, we negotiated a reduced charge.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

Police made contact with the client at home after a 911 report of erratic driving. No traffic stop occurred, the client declined field sobriety tests, and a blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We pulled the dispatch audio, dash and body camera, and the lab paperwork, and pressed the state on proving operation and intoxication at the relevant time rather than in a driveway. We also documented that body damage on the truck predated the incident, undercutting any crash theory. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated the felony down to a misdemeanor.

Charge

Speeding (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client received a Class C speeding citation. We entered an appearance, demanded the state’s evidence, and set the case for a contested setting. When discovery was not produced as required, we pressed the issue and made clear we were prepared to litigate. In discussions with the assigned prosecutor, we emphasized the evidentiary gaps and their burden to prove the alleged speed. The state elected to dismiss the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 11

Allegations

A domestic argument at a residence led to a misdemeanor family violence charge. The arrest relied almost entirely on the complainant's initial statement, and officers never interviewed our client. The residence reportedly had cameras, yet no video was produced to corroborate an assault. In a later call with police, the complainant said everything was fine, which undercut the original report. We compiled these evidentiary gaps, signaled readiness for trial, and pressed the weaknesses. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a minor crash that damaged residential property, officers arrived and conducted field sobriety tests, then arrested our client for DWI. A breath test later reported a very high BAC. We gathered the video and reports, verified the timeline, and presented mitigation including immediate enrollment in treatment. We pushed negotiations toward a non-conviction path and secured pretrial diversion. After the client completed all requirements, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Montgomery County, 359th

Allegations

During a traffic stop for an alleged unsafe lane change, officers focused on the client’s involuntary eye movement and seized an almost empty vape cartridge and loose plant material. The client said both were bought at a local smoke shop as legal Delta-9, and packaging showed compliance. Officers scraped residue for testing. We requested video evidence, challenged the basis for the stop, and demanded certified lab proof. We also presented the purchase packaging to show lack of criminal intent. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Organized Retail Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Harris County, 174th DC

Allegations

Police accused our client of organized retail theft after an undercover buy and a raid on a small electronics shop. Investigators claimed televisions with security devices tied the business to stolen goods and obtained a statement after prolonged questioning. We obtained the warrant, surveillance and interview video, and challenged the basis for the search and the voluntariness of the admission. We also gathered receipts showing lawful purchases and explained the client's lack of criminal history. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

Public Intoxication (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Wilson County

Allegations

Our client was arrested for public intoxication after an encounter with police in a public area. We obtained the report, evaluated the officer's account, and prepared to challenge whether the statutory elements were actually met. At our direction, the client completed an alcohol education class and we submitted the certificate ahead of court. We met the client at the hearing and engaged the prosecutor with that mitigation and our defenses. The state agreed to dismiss the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC2

Allegations

The client was found after a single vehicle crash into a fixed structure and taken to a hospital, with little memory of events. Prosecutors built the DWI on a medical blood sample later obtained by grand jury subpoena, not a contemporaneous DWI warrant. The lab packet had gaps and there was no reliable documentation of collection protocol or chain of custody. We obtained body cams and crash video and prepared suppression challenges to the blood and the investigation. Confronted with these defects, the state dismissed the case.
