Criminal Defense Case Results

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.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Deputies alleged our client violated a protective order after sending messages through a co-parenting app and later placing a call. By the time we were retained, a warrant was active and the client had entered inpatient treatment. We secured documentation of enrollment, gathered the relevant communications, and presented the context to the prosecutor while addressing the warrant. Leveraging mitigation and our readiness to litigate disputed issues, we negotiated a reduced offense with a time-served resolution so the client could move forward.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client was accused of a technical violation after missing reporting dates following a transfer. They had relied on text reminders that stopped and later found the messages were being sent to a spam folder. We coordinated a voluntary surrender and bond, then gathered the reporting printout, message logs, and proof of classes and payments. We showed probation and the prosecutor that this was a notification error and that the client was otherwise compliant while finishing community service. The state dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Officers contacted our client while the car was parked in a lot with the engine running, after noticing old damage on the vehicle. The officer reported an odor of alcohol, conducted field sobriety tests, and recorded a breath result allegedly over .15. We focused on the lack of observed driving, questioned the basis for escalating the encounter, and challenged the reliability of the testing. Using that leverage, we secured pretrial diversion. After completing the requirements, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 3

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic argument with a pregnant partner, with police alleging a push. A no contact protective order followed. We got involved immediately, worked the case while it was still prefile, and moved to amend bond and the order so the client could attend prenatal appointments and the birth. We communicated with the complainant and compiled mitigation, including proof of voluntary classes. Although a misdemeanor plea was floated, we kept negotiating and prepared a preindictment submission. The state declined to proceed and the case was dismissed, lifting the restrictions.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After police contacted our client at a disabled vehicle that had run out of gas, he was arrested and charged as a third-offense DWI based on prior DWIs. We obtained the police reports, scrutinized the basis for the welfare check, and challenged the observations used to claim impairment in those roadside conditions. We compiled mitigation and kept steady pressure on the prosecution through negotiations. The state ultimately agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Travis County, 331st District Court

Allegations

After a night out in a busy entertainment district, police made contact and, following a search, alleged our client had a small amount of a controlled substance. We demanded full discovery, reviewed body and dash cam video, the lab report, and the probable cause affidavit, and challenged the basis for the detention and search tied to suspected intoxication. In parallel, we assembled mitigation with clean testing, classes, and strong character support. Using that leverage, we secured a pretrial diversion. Upon completion, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 497th DC

Allegations

After a probation revocation was filed, the State alleged our client tested positive for THC, missed check-ins, failed to provide a urine sample, traveled out of state without permission, and fell behind on fees and treatment. We secured release on bond and negotiated GPS-monitored travel so the client could assist an ailing family member. Our team pulled supervision records and correspondence, highlighting inconsistencies, including a date listed as both a no-show and a drug test. We compiled medical documentation and a compliance plan, pressed the prosecutor, and the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

A domestic dispute at a residence led to a family‑violence assault charge and a warrant. We intervened immediately, contacted the investigator, and coordinated a preset bond and walk‑through so the client avoided being taken to jail. We then dug into the facts, obtaining the complainant’s later statements and an affidavit of nonprosecution. We also compiled text and video evidence showing the client attempting to disengage and exposing inconsistencies in the original account. After presenting this to the prosecutor and pressing the issues, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Coryell County, 440th District Court

Allegations

The client was stopped for a minor traffic issue. Officers reported the odor of marijuana, took a bag from the client, and during a search found a THC vape cartridge alleged to be under a gram. Companion misdemeanors were not pursued, leaving a felony possession count. We demanded full discovery, including patrol car and body camera footage, and scrutinized the legality of the stop and search. When the state could not produce key video evidence, we used those proof gaps to secure a full dismissal.
