Criminal Defense Case Results

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop for alleged wrong-way driving, the client was arrested and declined field sobriety testing. Officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw that later reported a BAC around 0.142. We secured the dash and body camera footage, which showed a calm stop, proper parking, and steady movements, with no obvious slurring. We also emphasized the time gap between the stop and the blood draw. Using these issues to press the prosecution, we negotiated a resolution that avoided jail and resulted in straight probation.

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument at a residence. The complainant told officers the client blocked the door and briefly kept his phone, leading to an unlawful restraint charge. We got involved early, monitored the case while it was being reviewed, and opened dialogue with the prosecutor. The complainant later provided a sworn statement clarifying the encounter and expressing no interest in prosecution, which conflicted with the initial report. We compiled those discrepancies and pressed the State. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Class A

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

Police responded to a roadside crash where the vehicle had struck a barrier and later another car made contact while it was disabled. Officers conducted a DWI investigation, the client declined testing, and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw. We reconstructed the sequence of events and challenged the probable cause for arrest, the instructions and observations recorded, and the basis for the warrant and handling of the sample. With no prior record and strong mitigation, we pushed for a nontrial resolution through a diversion track. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Police were called after a domestic dispute at a residence, and our client was arrested for family-violence assault based largely on the partner’s initial statement. We engaged early, obtained the reports, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor. The complaining witness later declined to prosecute and provided a sworn statement, and our review showed notable inconsistencies with the original 911 narrative. We also submitted materials outlining severe collateral immigration consequences. Confronted with credibility problems and limited proof, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court No. 4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a briefly corrected wrong-way turn, the client was investigated for DWI. The officer noted four clues on the eye test but only one on the walk-and-turn and zero on the one‑leg stand, then arrested anyway and obtained a blood sample that later read high. We parsed the reports and testing record, emphasizing how the strong roadside performance undercut the officer’s conclusion, and presented meaningful mitigation the client completed. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge and proceed with deferred probation.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Sumner County, Kee Bryant-McCormick

Allegations

During a roadside stop involving a friend, officers alleged the client created a public disturbance. We quickly secured the bodycam and the client's phone video and reviewed them frame by frame. The footage showed a fast escalation and repeated requests to speak with a supervisor, raising doubt that the conduct matched the statute. We organized those issues against the reports, presented mitigation, and put pressure on the prosecutor. The state agreed to pre-trial diversion, avoiding a conviction while the client completes conditions.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court No. 6

Allegations

Our client was cited for criminal trespass after returning to a nightclub during business hours to ask a manager about an earlier ejection. He reported being told different things by security about whether and when he could come back, and denied making threats or causing a scene. We obtained the police reports, requested any surveillance or body camera video, and documented conflicting accounts about notice to leave. Early negotiations secured a brief pretrial intervention with short classes and a nominal fee/donation. He completed the terms and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

After a caller reported a tire spin, police stopped our client several blocks later and conducted field sobriety tests. The client declined a breath test, was taken for a blood draw under a warrant hours after the stop, and the lab later reported a high BAC. We pulled the dash and bodycam footage, offense report, and warrant packet and found serious procedural defects in how the blood warrant was secured. We confronted the prosecution with those issues and made clear the blood evidence would not survive challenge. The state agreed to dismiss and the court signed the dismissal, closing the case.

Charge

Theft - Class C

Location

Travis County, CCL3

Allegations

The client was cited after a store incident where loss prevention accused them of leaving with low value merchandise. We obtained the evidence, tracked the case as it moved through the county process, and kept the client informed during magistration and booking. To build mitigation, the client completed a theft education course and provided documentation related to immigration status, along with other positive background details. We packaged and presented this to the prosecutor, pressed for a non-conviction outcome, and secured a full dismissal.

Charge

Resisting Arrest

Location

Sumner County, Kee Bryant-McCormick

Allegations

Police were conducting a roadside stop of an acquaintance when our client arrived and asked for a supervisor. Bodycam and the client’s phone video showed the interaction escalated quickly as an officer reached for his arm, he pulled away, and he was tased, leading to a resisting arrest charge. We obtained and reviewed all video, challenged the escalation and necessity of force, and emphasized his clean history and veteran status. After sustained negotiations and preparing for a hearing, the state agreed to pre-trial diversion, positioning the case for dismissal.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Waller County

Allegations

The case began with a traffic stop for speeding. The officer reported an odor of marijuana, detained our client, searched the vehicle, and recovered a small amount along with a pipe. We obtained the bodycam, police reports, and the lab work needed to prove THC content and weight, and scrutinized whether the evidence was properly handled and weighed without packaging. We raised those proof issues with the prosecutor and prepared to litigate them. The client also completed a drug awareness course as mitigation. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

The client was stopped after driving with headlights off and arrested for DWI. Officers noted an odor of alcohol and an open container. Due to a documented knee injury, the client declined roadside tests but consented to a breath test that was only slightly over the limit. We obtained and reviewed bodycam and breath testing records, challenged procedural weaknesses, and presented mitigation, including early class enrollment, counseling, and compliance with interlock. The state agreed to resolve the case with deferred adjudication.
