Criminal Defense Case Results in Collin, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 416th District Court

Allegations

The state moved to revoke the client’s felony probation near the end of the term, citing a rumored out‑of‑state theft warrant that was non‑extraditable and an earlier testing hiccup. We coordinated a planned surrender to control the bond process, pulled the probation records, and compiled proof of substantial compliance, including paid fees, completed classes, and recent clean tests. We challenged treating the out‑of‑state matter as a new offense and focused negotiations on what could be proven. The case resolved with a reduced sanction and credit for time served, securing the client’s release.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Our client was investigated after a domestic argument at a home escalated and the complainant reported being pushed, with photos showing an arm bruise and a damaged nightstand. We got involved before any interview, advised the client to decline questioning, and opened communication with the investigator. When a warrant issued, we arranged a safe self-surrender and addressed the no-contact conditions. We obtained the complainant’s affidavit of non-prosecution and the client completed anger-management. We presented this to the prosecutor and, after continued pressure, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Evading Arrest in a Vehicle

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

Officers alleged the driver failed to stop, leading to a short pursuit where spike strips disabled the vehicle and the client was taken to a hospital afterward. The client remembered little of the incident. We obtained dashcam and bodycam video, dispatch audio, police reports, and medical records, and pulled apart the timeline and signals to stop against the client’s awareness. The materials left real doubt about any knowing attempt to flee and exposed gaps in the pursuit narrative. We presented those issues and mitigation to the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Following a minor collision, the client was arrested for DWI after roadside tests were conducted without the client's required prescription glasses. The client initially declined a blood draw, and officers later obtained a warrant and collected a sample hours after driving. We gathered proof of the vision restriction and documented that the field tests occurred without corrective lenses, emphasizing the delay before the blood draw. At the ALR hearing we locked in the officer's account under oath and used these issues in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was arrested after a single vehicle crash following a night out. Officers noted an odor of alcohol, the client admitted drinking, and a hospital blood draw was obtained. No roadside field sobriety tests were conducted due to the accident. We obtained the reports and lab results, examined the legality of the arrest, the blood draw protocol, and the officer's DWI training record. Using those issues and the client's clean history, we negotiated deferred adjudication with manageable terms, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Officers alleged a third DWI after a late night encounter. The client declined testing, and a warrant was used for a hospital blood draw. The case was filed as a felony based on two supposed prior DWIs. We obtained the enhancement records and showed the state could not support a second qualifying conviction. We also challenged the warrant and blood handling. Under that pressure, prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County \u200bCourt \u200bat Law 1

Allegations

The case began after a wrong-way crash during icy conditions. Officers performed field sobriety tests on a slick roadway, then took the client to a hospital for a blood draw. We gathered the body-cam video and medical records, highlighting how the tests were conducted on ice and how a prior leg injury and treatment affected performance. The blood result later came back under .15 and our client started classes and counseling immediately. Using those issues and mitigation, we negotiated deferred adjudication to keep a conviction off the record.

Charge

Collision Involving Damage Over $200

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

The case arose from a crash during icy conditions, where the client’s vehicle struck another and officers later issued a citation for collision involving damage over $200. We obtained the police materials and insurance documentation confirming the property damage was fully covered and no restitution remained. We compiled that proof with mitigation and context about the road conditions and submitted it to the prosecutor. After targeted negotiations, the state agreed the criminal charge was unnecessary and dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Police found the client stopped at a traffic light and conducted roadside tests before making an arrest. A later blood draw reported a BAC well over .15, and officers also noted open containers in the vehicle. We obtained and reviewed the dash and body camera footage along with the blood records to evaluate the case. In parallel, we guided the client through proactive alcohol education and an evaluation to demonstrate accountability. Presenting that mitigation, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

Police approached a parked vehicle and found the driver asleep. The client admitted to having drinks, declined field sobriety testing, and a blood draw was obtained later under a warrant. We obtained and reviewed the videos, highlighting fatigue and the parked status rather than erratic driving, and scrutinized the blood warrant and lab records. The state initially pursued an enhanced DWI based on the reported blood result. After sustained negotiations using these issues and mitigation, we secured a reduction to a Class B DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

Theft of Property (Class A or B Misdemeanor)

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

The client was accused of taking a handful of vehicle repair items from a retail store during a period of extreme hardship and a failing car. By the time we were retained, the case had been reset repeatedly without progress. We gathered the police and store reports, then built a mitigation package with documentation of housing instability, efforts to work and study, and a clean record. We pressed the prosecution on proportionality and the evidentiary value of the case while signaling readiness for trial. The State dismissed the charge.

Charge

Theft - Class A or Class B Misdemeanor

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

The client was accused of leaving a retail store with unpaid merchandise valued under two hundred dollars. We moved quickly, obtained discovery, and scrutinized the incident narrative and the valuation of the items, preparing to challenge how the evidence established intent. We communicated those concerns to the prosecutor and kept steady pressure during negotiations. The state agreed to reduce the case to a lesser offense, a result that matched the limited value involved.
