Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

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

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a minor collision with a parked car, the client left the area and was later contacted by police away from the scene. He declined field sobriety and breath testing, and officers obtained a blood sample. We scrutinized the lack of driving observations and the delayed contact, then built a mitigation package showing treatment, AA attendance, and clean alcohol monitoring. Although diversion was initially denied due to the BAC, we appealed and secured entry. The client completed the program and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Harassment - Electronic Communication

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Our client was charged after a heated back and forth over alleged bullying spilled onto texts and social media. Police gathered selected screenshots and filed a harassment, electronic communication case. We pulled the full message threads and related school correspondence to place the exchange in context, documented that contact ceased, and presented mitigation to the prosecutor. After negotiations, the State agreed to dismiss upon verified community service. The client completed the hours, and the case was dismissed.

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.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County

Allegations

Police made contact after an argument in a parking area. The client had driven briefly to look for a companion, then parked, set the brake, and got out with the key in a pocket. They admitted to drinking and attempted field sobriety tests after removing sandals while visibly emotional. We dug into the discovery, highlighting that no bad driving was observed at the time of contact and that the test conditions undercut reliability. We also challenged the timeline between any driving and alleged intoxication. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The client was arrested on a felony DWI third allegation. We obtained the discovery, reviewed the reports and evidence, and dissected the investigation for weaknesses. Alongside that work, we compiled mitigation that documented the client's stability and efforts to address the situation. We used those points in sustained negotiations with the prosecutor, making clear we were prepared to litigate the contested issues. The case was resolved with a plea to straight probation.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and arrested our client for alleged strangulation based largely on the complainant’s initial account. We pulled the reports, photos, and recordings, then compared them to two later affidavits where the complainant recanted key details, clarified there was no choking, and explained the hair shown to police came from a brush. The images reflected no neck injuries consistent with the claim. We also highlighted timeline inconsistencies in the state’s theory. Confronted with these credibility problems, the prosecution reduced the charges.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 451st Judicial District Court

Allegations

Our client was picked up on a probation warrant after a traffic stop. The State alleged technical violations, including missed community service, unpaid fees, and failure to submit financial paperwork. We met with the client in custody, pulled the probation file, gathered proof of financial hardship and family medical issues, and documented the period of prior compliance. We opened talks with the prosecutor and probation, addressed arrears, and challenged whether any noncompliance was willful. The State dismissed the motion to revoke, and the client avoided revocation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

After the client's pickup became stuck near a curb, an officer stopped to check on the situation and then conducted roadside sobriety tests, leading to an arrest and a jail breath test reported over .15. We obtained the dash and body camera, dispatch notes, and breath instrument maintenance records, and examined how the field tests were administered and where they were performed. We made clear we were prepared to litigate any issues with the testing and procedures. With no prior history, early interlock compliance, and completed classes, we leveraged these factors and secured straight probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, Kevin Kent is the prosecutor in Arizona451st Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation for evading arrest in a vehicle when a motion to revoke was filed after an out of state incident. He was first held out of state pending transport. After we were hired, we coordinated across jurisdictions to get him before the court and sought bond while we examined the alleged violations. We documented that the out of state incident resulted in no filed charges and pressed the state to produce reliable proof of any other noncompliance. Facing weak support for revocation, the prosecution dismissed the motion.
