Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

The case stemmed from a massage session where, weeks later, the complainant alleged inappropriate contact. We pulled the full message history and social media posts, which showed friendly follow up the next day, an offer to leave a review, and no immediate complaint. We also documented the use of warm massage oil and how it could explain the sensation the complainant later described. Those credibility and timing issues, combined with the absence of corroborating evidence, gave us leverage in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client resolved the case with a sentence of time served.

Charge

Bigamy

Location

Harris County, 488th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of bigamy based on a disputed relationship history. We built a clear timeline, reviewed messages and family-court materials, and documented that the other person had lived separately as a guest and that there was no second marriage paperwork or record. We highlighted inconsistencies in statements about dates and status that undercut the allegation. After a focused presentation to the prosecution outlining these proof problems and the absence of any valid marriage record, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

The client was stopped after accelerating quickly from a turn, then detained when the officer claimed to smell alcohol. Field sobriety tests followed, the client declined a specimen, and a warrant blood draw later reported a result over .15. We pulled the dash and body camera footage, scrutinized whether the stop was supported, whether the roadside tests were conducted correctly, and audited the blood kit handling and chain of custody. We also secured an occupational license during the suspension. Leveraging these issues in negotiations, we obtained a charge reduction with a sentence of time served.

Charge

Possession of THC (State Jail Felony)

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment court

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a parked car at a public park after closing, said they saw smoke, and recovered a THC vape. They flagged the location as a drug-free zone and booked a state jail felony. We moved quickly pre-indictment, demanded bodycam, reports, and a certified lab result proving illegal THC concentration, and scrutinized the basis for the approach, any consent, and the chain of custody. We presented these proof issues to the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Harris County, 179th DC

Allegations

The client was arrested for felony possession after officers reported finding suspected drugs in a shared room with multiple people present. We scrutinized the reports and discovery, focusing on how the search started and whether officers had a lawful basis to search the area they claimed to sweep. We pressed the State to show a clear nexus between our client and the substance, noting the absence of exclusive control in a crowded setting. After we laid out these proof issues and prepared to litigate them, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Ellis County, 443RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

The state filed a motion to revoke a misdemeanor probation alleging a positive alcohol test and missed fee and reporting obligations. We moved quickly to address the warrant, coordinated a controlled turn-in to secure a bond, and obtained the probation file. We compiled proof of current compliance, including clean UAs, enrollment in the required intervention program, and payments toward arrears, along with a concrete plan to finish remaining conditions. After presenting that record and pressing our case with the prosecutor and probation, the state dismissed the motion.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Hays County, 22nd DC

Allegations

While on felony probation, a motion to revoke alleged an alcohol violation tied to an interlock reading and a UA that flagged methadone, which the client denied. We obtained the revocation paperwork, probation records, and ignition interlock logs, then secured pharmacy proof of a prescribed alcohol-based mouthwash. The IID data showed a quick shift from violation to clean, consistent with mouthwash rather than drinking. We challenged the UA’s reliability and documented ongoing meeting attendance and overall compliance. After presenting these issues and mitigation, the State dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 9

Allegations

Officers contacted the client while the car was parked with hazard lights on and initiated a DWI investigation. The client admitted to several drinks and completed field sobriety tests, noting that thin, worn shoes affected balance and a long‑standing speech impediment could sound like slurring. A consensual blood draw later came back just over the legal limit, with a delay between driving and the sample. We reviewed bodycam, dash video, and reports, stressing no bad driving, the parked setting, the footwear and communication issues, and that mini bottles were unopened. We used these weaknesses to secure a reduced charge with deferred probation, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Stopped after a brief swerve while adjusting music, our client was questioned and an officer claimed to smell alcohol. The client declined field sobriety and breath testing, and a blood draw was later taken by warrant. We dug into the stop and the reports, highlighting the minimal driving facts, the lack of standardized roadside testing, and the absence of any admissions. We kept pressure on the prosecution through repeated conferences and prepared to litigate the stop if needed. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lower-grade DWI.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was charged with a second-offense DWI after arriving at a scene where an officer engaged them without citing any traffic violation. They acknowledged having a few beers, performed roadside tests, declined a breath test, and later provided a blood sample. We obtained the videos and reports, scrutinizing the basis for the initial detention, the officer’s instructions during the tests, and the timing and handling of the blood draw. Leveraging those weaknesses and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DUI - Minor (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client received a DUI alcohol minor citation based on a roadside handheld breath test and was released with a court date in a local JP court. We entered the case early, pled not guilty, and demanded full discovery, including the police report and the body-worn and dash camera videos. We also prepared to challenge the basis for the stop and the reliability of the handheld reading. The prosecution repeatedly failed to produce the evidence. Facing trial without proof, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Dallas County, Coppell Municipal Court

Allegations

Police found our client in the back seat of a parked vehicle, conducted roadside tests, and arrested for public intoxication. We obtained the discovery and focused on the core element of the offense, whether the person posed a danger to self or others. With no driving observed, the engine off, and safer alternatives available, we argued the facts did not satisfy the statute. After attorney docket negotiations and steady pressure on the weaknesses in the case, the prosecution dismissed the charge.
