Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a new arrest triggered a motion to revoke. We moved quickly to avoid a surprise pickup, coordinating a controlled surrender and expedited release on bond. Our team compiled hospital records confirming a facial injury, photos, messages, and a victim advocate letter showing the client as the reporting victim, plus documentation of ongoing harassment and a warrant against the other party. We also demonstrated prompt reporting and clean compliance on probation. Faced with this record, the State dismissed the motion.

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client faced a motion to revoke after an out of county arrest. We moved quickly to verify her compliance, documenting timely reporting, negative tests, and program participation. Our team compiled materials that undermined the alleged violation, including ER records and photos of injuries, phone records, and police communications showing the other party was violating a protective order. We pressed for resets while the outside case was evaluated and presented this record to the prosecutor. The State dismissed the motion.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

After a late-night gathering, the client was involved in a single-vehicle crash and officers arrived to find airbags deployed. A trooper conducted roadside sobriety tests and arrested the client, and prosecutors later alleged a BAC over .15. We pressed the state on the way the field tests and breath evidence were administered and demanded full discovery. In parallel, we built mitigation, documenting strict compliance with alcohol monitoring and assembling supportive materials. The combined pressure led to a negotiated probationary sentence with no further jail.

Charge

Theft - Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

The client was detained by store loss prevention after exiting a retail shop with about two hundred dollars in unpaid merchandise. Police transported the individual to a local holding facility and they were released on bond the next day. With no prior record, we obtained the reports, evaluated the evidence, and opened talks with the prosecutor early. We presented mitigation and a plan to address the conduct, pressing for a nonconviction path. The state agreed to place the client in a pre-trial diversion program, avoiding a plea and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony probation in Collin County when an out-of-county arrest triggered a motion to revoke and a warrant. We arranged a controlled surrender and worked to have a bond set quickly so the client could be released. Our team compiled proof the client was identified as the victim in the underlying incident, including ER records of a nasal fracture, photos, and a victim liaison letter, and documented repeated protective-order violations by the other party. We also provided proof of counseling, service hours, and prompt self-reporting to probation. After presenting this package and challenging the new allegations, the State dismissed the revocation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Officers approached our client in a parked car and, after brief questions about drinking, began a DWI investigation. Field tests were administered, and when the client hesitated on a blood draw, a warrant issued and a hospital sample was taken. We requested the ALR hearing to protect the license and pulled dash and body cam video along with the lab records. We challenged the basis for the stop and scrutinized the blood collection while pressing for a noncustodial outcome. The case resolved with probation, including an ignition interlock and classes.

Charge

Criminal Mischief (Felony)

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

An unrelated traffic stop alerted our client to an outstanding warrant for felony criminal mischief. With no prior notice about the allegation, the client retained us right away. We filed our notice of representation and obtained the probable cause affidavit and discovery to learn what incident the warrant referenced. After reviewing the materials, we challenged whether the evidence actually tied our client to the reported property damage and whether the claimed loss supported a felony. We signaled readiness to litigate those issues, and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication for a state jail felony and was accused of violating probation after an out-of-state incident led to two new cases and a claim of unpaid fees. We obtained the probation file, pulled bank records proving all supervision costs and fines were paid, and documented that the out-of-state matters were disputed and unproven. We pressed the state with this record and filed targeted pleadings to address the allegations and the outstanding warrant. The motion to adjudicate was dismissed, the warrant recalled, and the case closed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Collin County, 380th District Court

Allegations

A road-rage encounter in a retail parking lot turned tense when another driver pulled up close and shouted threats. The client, who had never fired his legally owned handgun, retrieved it to create distance, and the pistol unintentionally discharged toward the ground, reportedly striking a tire. Detectives later made contact and took the firearm, and a felony weapons case followed. We got involved early, coordinated his appearance, pulled video and reports, and highlighted the lack of intent and limited cooperation by the other driver. With added mitigation from completed classes, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge with deferred supervision.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, CCL3

Allegations

Our client pulled to the shoulder after striking debris in the road and waited for a ride, eventually falling asleep in the parked car. Officers arrived and made a DWI arrest. The client declined roadside sobriety tests, an attempted breath test was inconclusive, and a consensual blood draw followed. We scrutinized the reports and blood documentation and challenged whether the state could prove both operation and impairment given the parked vehicle and lack of field tests. After sustained negotiations, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Officers responded to a single-vehicle incident and arrested our client for DWI. The client declined field sobriety testing and refused both breath and blood, so police obtained a warrant and a hospital blood draw. We scrutinized the basis for the investigation, the warrant process, and how the sample was collected and handled, and made clear we were prepared to litigate suppression issues. After negotiations focused on those evidentiary problems, the case resolved with straight probation, avoiding jail time.

Charge

Duty on Striking Structure, Fixture, or Highway Landscaping

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Following a single-vehicle incident that damaged a roadside fixture, our client was accused of not completing the required duties after the impact. We gathered the crash report, dispatch logs, and emergency response records to reconstruct the timeline. The documentation showed immediate involvement by first responders and transport to a hospital, clarifying how the scene was handled. We emphasized the client’s clean record and other mitigating factors. Through focused negotiations, the case was resolved with probation.
