Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Denton County, 16th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Probation officers reported the client missed a required court setting, and a motion to revoke felony probation was filed. Our team obtained the probation file, violation report, and jail records to reconstruct what actually happened. We uncovered timing and notice problems with the alleged noncompliance and showed the state they could not prove a willful violation. After targeted negotiations and making clear we were ready to litigate, the prosecutor agreed to withdraw the motion, and the court 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

Evading Arrest or Detention on Foot

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

Police contacted our client in a public parking area. Disoriented after ingesting an edible, the client walked away rather than engage and was later taken for medical evaluation before being booked for evading on foot. We obtained the police report, body camera footage, and EMS records, then reconstructed the timeline against the elements of the offense. The video showed confusion and medical distress, not an intentional flight from a lawful detention. After we challenged the stop and the evading allegation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting Arrest (Class A Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, CCC9

Allegations

The client was accused of resisting arrest after officers contacted him in a public area where he was disoriented from an edible, force was used, and he was transported to a hospital before being booked. We immediately demanded discovery, including bodycam, reports, and EMS records. Using those materials and medical documentation of confusion, we challenged the basis for the detention and whether clear, lawful commands were given. We signaled readiness to litigate suppression issues. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Dallas Municipal Court

Allegations

Police issued our client a Class C disorderly conduct citation after a brief altercation at a fitness center. The client reported acting in self defense when the other person threw the first punch. We got involved immediately, filed our letter of representation, and demanded discovery, including any surveillance video and staff or bystander accounts. At the first court setting we laid out the disputed facts and pressed the prosecutor on the state’s ability to prove fighting beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution agreed to dismiss the case.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Fort Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for public intoxication after officers encountered her walking near a roadway following an evening out. The report claimed she was a danger to herself because she had been in the street. We obtained the body camera footage and reports, which showed she quickly moved to the sidewalk when headlights appeared and was oriented enough to follow instructions. We challenged whether the legal elements were met and pressed those issues with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Sale of Tobacco to a Minor (Class C Misdemeanor)

Location

Tarrant County, Fort Worth Municipal Court

Allegations

An undercover compliance check at a retail shop led to a Class C citation after our client sold a vape to someone underage. They had requested ID but misread the date while managing the register, and had no prior record. We obtained discovery and emphasized the lack of intent and the attempted ID check during negotiations. We secured an agreement involving a modest fee and a short law‑abiding period. After the client completed the conditions, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

The client was on felony probation when a missed check-in, caused by an ER visit, and a recent positive UA put a revocation on the table. They retained us immediately. We gathered hospital records, documented the planned detox and inpatient treatment, and opened lines of communication with supervision to show good faith compliance. Our team monitored the file and pressed for a treatment-first approach instead of punishment. The prosecution declined to proceed, and the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 291st Judicial District Court

Allegations

The client was on felony deferred supervision when probation filed a motion to revoke alleging missed reporting, positive tests, and failure to complete required programs. We moved quickly, obtained the probation file, and compiled proof of what had been completed along with employment verification and other mitigating documentation. In coordinated talks with the prosecutor and probation officer, we presented a concrete plan to cure any deficiencies and avoid incarceration. The state agreed, and the court dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Denton County

Allegations

After a single-vehicle collision inside an apartment complex, officers alleged our client took a corner too fast and filed a reckless driving charge. We scrutinized the police reports and available video to pin down what actually occurred. The materials reflected a brief acceleration and loss of control in a confined area, with no evidence anyone else was endangered, undermining the required willful disregard. We presented those weaknesses and pressed the state on proof. The prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault on a Peace Officer

Location

Ellis County, 443RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

After a collision brought police to the scene, our client was arrested during a tense encounter and accused of assaulting an officer. She reported painful, overly tight handcuffs and reacted to being yanked, but denied trying to strike anyone. We obtained body cam and station video that showed rough handling and no clear intent to assault. We paired that with injury photos and argued any contact stemmed from restraint, not an attempt to cause harm. Confronted with these issues, the state reduced the felony to a lesser misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC1

Allegations

Officers encountered the client at a roadway intersection and began an impairment investigation. During that contact, they found two handguns in the center console. The client held a license to carry, and one firearm belonged to a family member. We obtained the reports and bodycam, documented the consensual search, and highlighted the license status and ownership history while disputing the UCW theory. After negotiations, the State agreed to deferred adjudication. We also arranged for the firearms to be released to a lawful owner during probation.
