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

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

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a revocation motion alleged positive marijuana tests, missed or diluted UAs, and incomplete community service. We obtained proof of 60 hours of service and recent clean UA records from the supervising officer, showing sustained compliance. We addressed reporting gaps caused by supervision in a different office and corrected the probation file. After presenting the documentation and challenging the allegations, the prosecution withdrew the motion. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Our client was on deferred probation for a misdemeanor DWI when a motion to revoke was filed for leaving court ordered rehab and missing check ins. She was later arrested on the warrant in another county jail and spent more than a week in custody before bonding out. We obtained the records, confirmed there were no new charges, and opened talks with the prosecutor. Emphasizing the custody already served and realistic compliance options, we pressed to scale back the State's ask. The State agreed to a reduced sanction credited as time served, and probation was closed out with no additional jail.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC1

Allegations

The arrest began when officers responded to a trespass call and found our client in the driver seat by a locked gate in a private lot. The report noted an alcohol odor and multiple open containers, and the client was confused and slurring. He is diabetic and, once in custody, was repeatedly treated for dangerously high blood sugar. We obtained the reports and jail medical records, then challenged whether the stop occurred in a public place and whether the observed symptoms were from a medical episode rather than intoxication. Confronted with those issues, the state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

While on misdemeanor supervision, the state filed a motion to revoke alleging technical violations, including missed reporting and electronic monitoring alerts. We moved quickly to gather context, pulling device logs, pay stubs, and proof the client was working and enrolling in required classes. We met with supervision to address scheduling issues and proposed a compliance plan with tighter check ins. Armed with mitigation and a path forward, we negotiated with the prosecutor before the hearing. The court accepted a deal for deferred adjudication, keeping the client out of jail and focused on completing probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

Officers obtained a warrant months after a domestic argument at a shared residence, then arrested our client. The charging paperwork listed a different offense date than the initial report, and the accounts of what happened were disputed. We compiled statements showing the complainant did not wish to pursue the case and documented the timeline problems. We moved to ease the no contact bond terms so the client could manage housing and negotiated a limited community service condition. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 8

Allegations

While on misdemeanor DWI probation, the prosecution filed to revoke alleging missed fees, incomplete classes, UA issues, and driving without an interlock. A warrant was issued. We gathered proof of recent compliance, including completion of a victim impact panel, enrollment in DWI education, UA records, and documentation of financial hardship that explained a device lockout tied to missed calibration. We used that to narrow the case to what was fixable. The prosecution agreed to reduce the violations and resolve it with time served.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 4

Allegations

Our client was on misdemeanor deferred probation when a disputed domestic incident at a workplace led to a new arrest, and the state filed a motion to revoke. We obtained discovery from the new case and reviewed the police report and protective order filings, which reflected no judicial finding of family violence and only brief, contested contact. We compiled mitigation, including proof of counseling and class participation, and documented ongoing compliance. After pressing these issues and the evidentiary gaps with the prosecutor, the state abandoned the revocation and the court dismissed the MTRP.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Police responded to a complaint and found our client sitting in a parked car near a hotel. After a brief encounter, the client admitted a small amount of marijuana and was arrested. An initial court date was missed and a warrant issued, complicating the case. We stepped in, addressed the warrant logistics, and gathered mitigation including prompt enrollment in a marijuana education course and clean drug tests. We used that package to negotiate with the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge, sparing the client a harsher record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, CC3

Allegations

Stopped for an equipment violation, our client was arrested for DWI after partial field tests and a refusal to blow. A blood draw was taken by warrant, and the result later came back just over the legal limit. We demanded full discovery, including body-cam and the lab's litigation packet, and challenged the quality of the investigation while emphasizing months of clean ignition interlock compliance. The client also completed proactive courses. After sustained negotiations, the case resolved as deferred adjudication, with credit for device time requested.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the client was arrested after the officer noted signs of intoxication and observed an open container in the vehicle. They attempted field sobriety tests but struggled, and a blood sample was ultimately taken despite paperwork initially reflecting a refusal. We dug into the reports and evidence, challenged the reliability and applicability of the roadside testing given the client’s physical limitations, and highlighted inconsistencies in the implied consent documentation. We also presented the client’s cooperation and clean history. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received straight probation.
