Criminal Defense Case Results in Collin, TX

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

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

Public Intoxication

Location

Collin County, McKinney Municipal Court

Allegations

Police arrested our client for public intoxication outside a nightclub after security escorted him out. We reviewed the body camera footage, evaluated the risks of trial, and prioritized keeping his record clean given his immigration concerns. We pressed the prosecutor for a path to dismissal and secured a conditional agreement. The client completed an eight hour alcohol awareness course and documented attendance at ten AA meetings within the required window, with no new incidents. At the next setting, we submitted proof of completion, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Collin County, Plano Municipal Court

Allegations

Police cited our client for Class C disorderly conduct after a tense exchange in a gas station lot. The individual had called 911 and filmed the encounter, saying the other driver pursued them while they remained in the vehicle. We assembled surveillance video along with the client's photos and clips, and sought dispatch records to build a clear timeline showing attempts to disengage. We highlighted problems in the officer's account and the absence of any true threatening conduct. After we presented this packet and prepared the case for trial, the prosecutor dismissed the charge.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

After a single-vehicle incident and arrest for suspected intoxication, officers discovered a handgun in the car and filed a UCW charge. Our client lawfully owned the gun, held a carry license, and kept it mounted inside the vehicle. We obtained and dissected the reports and evidence to show the weapon was never displayed or misused and that the UCW allegation depended entirely on the separate intoxication case. We challenged the legal basis for the charge and signaled readiness to litigate. The state dismissed the UCW.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Collin County

Allegations

After a minor crash, an officer ran a records check and saw our client listed as not eligible to drive, resulting in a suspended license case. We obtained the state driving history and confirmed the prior suspension had already ended before the incident, with only an administrative reinstatement step outstanding. The client promptly completed reinstatement. We compiled the eligibility printout and payment proof, presented it to the prosecutor, and pressed the weaknesses in the allegation. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity

Location

Collin County, 199th District Court

Allegations

Police accused our client of taking part in a store break-in with others and filed an engaging in organized criminal activity case. We got involved early, contacted the investigator, and tracked the warrant status while obtaining the reports and surveillance. The evidence showed the client remained in the vehicle and never entered the business. There was no proof of aiding, acting as a lookout, or sharing any items. We also prepared to subpoena a co-defendant who had already resolved their case. Faced with these gaps, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County

Allegations

The client was on deferred felony probation when a revocation motion was filed after a urinalysis allegedly showed alcohol and THC. We gathered supervision records and testing documentation to build a clear timeline of events. We challenged the sufficiency of the evidence and presented proof of the client’s ongoing compliance and proactive steps since the incident. After sustained negotiations with the prosecutor and probation office, the state declined to proceed. The motion was dismissed.

Charge

Reckless Damage to Property

Location

Collin County, Plano Municipal Court

Allegations

After parking at a commercial lot, our client's door swung slightly and made brief contact with a neighboring vehicle. The other driver insisted there was damage, and an officer issued a citation for reckless damage. We obtained the police body camera footage and related photos and reviewed them closely. There was no clear evidence of actual property damage, and the footage did not document any. We confronted the prosecutor with those gaps and made clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

After reporting a hit-and-run and asking officers for help, the client was given field sobriety tests and arrested for DWI. When a passenger opened the vehicle to retrieve keys, officers saw a lawfully owned handgun inside and added a UCW charge. We obtained the reports and video to show the client initiated contact as the crash victim and that the firearm stayed in the vehicle, lawfully possessed. We questioned whether the statutory elements for UCW were met and pressed the state on its proof. The prosecution dismissed the UCW case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

The resisting arrest charge arose during a chaotic roadside arrest where officers said the client pulled away while being handcuffed. From the start, the client explained he panicked, slipped, and repeatedly said the cuffs were too tight and he could not breathe, not that he was trying to fight. We obtained the case discovery, scrutinized the video and reports, and confronted the state with the absence of any violence or active interference. Framing the conduct as confusion rather than defiance, we negotiated a resolution to straight probation, avoiding jail.
