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

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

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

Class C Misdemeanor - Traffic Violation

Location

Tarrant County, Grand Prairie Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was cited during a traffic stop for alleged unreasonable acceleration and improper display of a license plate. We engaged the prosecutor early, reviewed the citations and supporting notes, and pressed for a nonconviction outcome. After negotiations, the state agreed to dismiss the acceleration ticket and offer deferred disposition on the plate violation. The client paid a small assessment and stayed ticket free for the brief deferral period. The case then closed on deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic call at a residence. Outside, our client asked officers to keep things calm because children were inside, and was arrested for interference after an officer claimed he impeded their entry. We obtained the 911 audio, all body-cam video, and the client’s home surveillance footage, then compared those to the reports and witness accounts. The footage showed the client with hands up, attempting to de-escalate, and not obstructing the investigation. We compiled the inconsistencies and signaled we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CCC8

Allegations

The client was on misdemeanor probation when new arrests in another jurisdiction and a lapse in reporting put them at risk of revocation. We monitored the file closely and coordinated with counsel handling the out-of-county matters to align strategy. Our team compiled records documenting a mental health relapse, treatment needs, and time already served, and presented this context to the prosecutor. Instead of moving forward on revocation, we negotiated a plea to deferred adjudication with tailored conditions, prioritizing treatment and avoiding an adjudication.

Charge

Unreasonable Acceleration (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, Grand Prairie Municipal Court

Allegations

After a traffic stop, our client was cited for unreasonable acceleration, a Class C offense. We obtained the officer’s report and requested dashcam and bodycam, then evaluated whether the conduct actually created a danger to persons or property. The materials reflected light traffic and only a brief increase in speed, undercutting the required element of endangerment. We presented these evidentiary problems to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

After a traffic incident, officers claimed our client was unlawfully carrying a firearm and filed a UCW charge. We dug into the police reports and evidence to understand exactly how the weapon was found and why the search occurred. Our review identified problems with the justification for the detention and the scope of the search that led to the discovery. We laid those issues out to the prosecutor and made clear we were prepared to litigate a suppression. The state dismissed the case in its entirety.

Charge

Assault on a Public Servant

Location

Ellis County, 504TH DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police alleged our client struck an officer during booking after a chaotic mental health episode that began with a minor citation. We obtained the videos and reports, which showed no clear contact and key context missing from the officer’s account. We compiled medical records documenting the client’s condition and addressed the case’s procedural issues, including a warrant that surfaced despite consistent bond check-ins. After sustained negotiations, the state reduced the felony to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

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

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Hit and Run)

Location

Dallas County

Allegations

After a minor collision with another vehicle, the driver left the area and later learned law enforcement was trying to make contact. We were retained during the investigation phase and immediately took over communications, instructing that no statements be made. Our review showed no injury claims and no reliable identification of the driver beyond a license plate. We monitored for any warrant activity and highlighted the evidentiary gaps. With no case filed and the investigation stalling out, the matter was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 2

Allegations

While on misdemeanor deferred probation, the client was flagged for a violation and a motion to revoke was filed, which also generated a warrant. We moved quickly, contacted supervision and the assigned prosecutor, and compiled proof of the client’s compliance, including completion of a required class. We prepared for a walk-through if necessary, but after reviewing our submissions the state agreed not to proceed with revocation and to recall the warrant. The client was continued on deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.
