Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was nearing the end of a lengthy felony probation when a warrant issued for an alleged violation based on unpaid restitution. They had completed every other term without incident. We moved in quickly, focused negotiations on the clean supervision record and the client's limited means, and pushed back on revocation predicated only on nonpayment. After continued pressure, the state withdrew the motion and the court dismissed the proceeding. The client avoided jail and put the case behind them.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Dallas County, 203rd Judicial District Court

Allegations

Police ran an online sting. Our client contacted a posted number and drove to a hotel area as instructed. He texted that he had arrived, was detained in his car, and officers seized his phone, wallet, and the agreed cash. We reviewed the communications and arrest procedure, then engaged the prosecutor early. When the state offered a path to dismissal through a targeted class, we pushed to get the recommendation filed and secured quick enrollment. After proof on record, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

Police responded to a minor collision and cited our client for DUI Class C. The client performed field sobriety tests well, and the roadside breath test ultimately registered a low result. In reviewing the videos and reports, we noted the officer did not document any odor of alcohol and that the only direct evidence was a brief admission to drinking. We compiled those points and engaged the prosecutor. Facing a weak evidentiary record and our readiness to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Child Endangerment

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

A domestic dispute during a child exchange led to an arrest for child endangerment. Police responded to a disturbance, and the other parent alleged unsafe conduct and said a cell phone video existed. The state never produced that video. We secured the CPS file showing the investigation was closed without adverse findings, and we documented the complainant’s unwillingness to cooperate. After pressing the DA on the lack of corroboration and setting the case for trial, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence by Strangulation

Location

Denton County, 211th Judicial District Court

Allegations

After a domestic argument that began during intimate contact and continued during a drive, the complainant accused our client of choking. He consistently denied impeding breath and reported that both parties pushed each other, leaving him with a bloody nose. Officers arrested him later without taking his statement, and a protective order limited contact. We gathered his account, documented the mutual struggle, and pressed the state on what it could actually prove. Through targeted negotiations, we secured deferred probation, keeping a conviction off his record.

The case stemmed from a domestic dispute that began at a residence and continued during a car ride. Our client said he was struck and acknowledged pushing the other person's head in response, denying any intent to cause injury. He was arrested later, and officers never took his statement. We dissected the reports and emphasized the mutual nature of the encounter and the lack of proof that he intentionally caused bodily injury. After sustained discussions with the prosecution, the state dismissed the case.

The client received a Class C assault by threat citation after a domestic dispute at a residence.

We pressed the prosecution on the age of the allegations and the limited evidence beyond the initial statement. The state dismissed the case.
