Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 7

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence while collecting belongings, our client called 911 and was arrested for assault family violence. He consistently denied striking anyone, stating he only pushed the other person away as they advanced. The complainant had been drinking and later would not cooperate. We intervened early, demanded the 911 audio and body camera footage, monitored the filing status, and prepared an affidavit of non prosecution. We pressed the State on its ability to prove intentional injury without a willing witness, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Civil Protective Order

Location

Bexar County, 408th Civil District Court

Allegations

A civil application for a protective order was filed against our client after a relationship ended. He had never been served and the applicant continued to take his calls. We secured the file, managed settings by Zoom when needed, and built an evidence packet of call logs, messages, and photos documenting ongoing, consensual contact and credibility problems. We laid this out to the attorney handling the matter and made clear we were ready to litigate. The application was dropped and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Fleeing a Police Officer

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

During a highway traffic stop, officers activated their lights. The driver eased off the accelerator and continued a short distance to exit and stop in a well lit area. Despite that, he was arrested for fleeing a police officer after a felony stop. We obtained the dashcam and bodycam, which showed he immediately slowed and stopped at the first safe location, with no evasive maneuvers. We used that footage and the officer's report to demonstrate the allegation was unsupported. The prosecution dismissed the fleeing charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a caller reported wrong-way driving, police stopped our client and arrested for a second DWI. He completed field sobriety tests and, after the officer posed a 1-to-10 intoxication question, was taken into custody. He refused breath testing, and a hospital blood draw was obtained after paperwork was presented. We obtained the videos, scrutinized the officer’s instructions, and dissected the consent, chain of custody, and lab records. We highlighted the brief driving error and the ambiguity of the 1-to-10 response. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation (Felony)

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 5

Allegations

Our client was arrested after a domestic dispute where the complainant alleged choking. From the start, the client denied it and described a pattern of false claims. We gathered texts, recordings, and messages that undercut the accusation and exposed credibility issues. The state floated a dismissal conditioned on a permanent protective order, which we declined and continued to contest. After further negotiations, the client completed a short anger management class, and the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order (Misdemeanor)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 13

Allegations

The client was charged with violating a protective order. Our review of filings and service logs showed the alleged violation predates any arrest and that the client had never been served with the order. Call records also reflected ongoing contact initiated by the complainant, undercutting any claim that he knowingly violated an order. We organized a detailed timeline and put those service and credibility issues in front of the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL12

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a traffic stop. They had been drinking earlier while taking prescribed medication and later woke up in custody with little memory of the encounter. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the state's evidence, reconstructed the contact from reports, and challenged the justification for the stop along with the handling of any field testing and blood analysis. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case, and the matter was closed with a sentence credited as time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a minor crash when another driver pulled out, police investigated and questioned our client about alcohol use. He admitted to a couple of drinks, performed field sobriety tests on a sloped roadside shortly after the collision, and declined a breath test. No blood was taken. We pressed the prosecution on the reliability of tests done on uneven ground right after an impact and the complete lack of a chemical result. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated a resolution that avoided jail and resulted in probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, 227th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was accused of violating terms after a pistol and a small amount of drugs were found at a residence during a move. We acted fast, seeking a bond and collecting affidavits. The family supplied firearm purchase records showing it was theirs, and property management confirmed the client no longer lived there. We documented the prior address change with supervision and attacked the proof of possession. Using that record, we negotiated a result that kept the client on probation rather than being revoked to prison.

Charge

Interference with a 911 Call

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

Police alleged the client blocked a 911 call during a domestic argument. We gathered and reviewed messages and recordings that showed the broader context of the dispute and credibility issues, then engaged the prosecutor with that material. When the state proposed dismissal tied to an overly broad protective order, we refused. We kept negotiating and secured a path to dismissal conditioned on an online anger-management course. The client completed it promptly, we presented proof in court, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Stalking

Location

Bexar County, Criminal, District Court

Allegations

After a brief relationship ended, the client was accused of stalking based on claims of repeated contact and visits to a residence. We dug into the communications and obtained phone logs and messages showing the contact was mutual, including a long call where the complainant discussed meeting in the future. We built a detailed timeline and highlighted inconsistencies between the accusation and the communications. After presenting that to the prosecution and pressing the weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Credit Card Abuse

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The case stemmed from a prior stop where officers searched a vehicle and found a credit card bearing someone else’s name, then tied it to disputed transactions. When a court date was missed, a warrant was imminent. We stepped in, filed our appearance, got the setting reset, and pulled the full discovery. We examined the basis for the search and the overlap with other allegations from the same incident, and presented mitigation and a restitution plan. After persistent negotiations, the prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication.
