Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL16

Allegations

The client was stopped after a motorist reported reckless driving. Video showed the officer coming up behind him amid flashing emergency lights from an unrelated roadside scene, with the client moving right, exiting, and pulling over. He declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was taken roughly 1.5 to 2 hours later. We scrutinized the basis for the stop, the timing and handling of the blood draw, and documented medical factors. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated a DWI second resolution to probation, avoiding jail and keeping conditions manageable so he could keep working.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Strangulation)

Location

Harris County, 486th Criminal District Court

Allegations

Following a domestic dispute, the client was accused of strangulation, with the complainant reporting the incident months later. We secured the discovery and compiled messages and voicemails showing the complainant repeatedly reaching out to the client well after the alleged event. We contrasted those communications with the police account and the claimed injury photos, revealing major credibility problems and a lack of corroboration. We presented these issues to the prosecutor and kept the pressure on until the case was dismissed.

Charge

Reckless Driving

Location

Harris County, County Court At Law 7

Allegations

After a high speed stop, the client was arrested and charged with reckless driving. We stepped in early, obtained the reports, and opened a dialogue with the prosecutor about a nonconviction resolution. We negotiated a deal that required completion of a driving safety class and compliance with limited conditions in exchange for dismissal. Our team coordinated enrollment, tracked progress, and filed the certificates ahead of the court setting. With those requirements satisfied, the State dismissed the case.

Charge

Possession of Drug Paraphernalia

Location

Harris County, La Porte Municipal Court

Allegations

Following a domestic argument, our client left a vehicle with a backpack. A caller told police he had a gun, so officers stopped him, opened the bag to locate a firearm, then continued searching and cited him for a small pipe. We obtained the reports and requested video, focusing on whether officers had lawful grounds to detain him in the first place and whether the search could go beyond securing the weapon. We prepared a suppression challenge and presented these defects to the State. Faced with the search issues, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, County Court #9

Allegations

Police found our client stopped at an intersection and asleep behind the wheel. After roadside tests, officers reported slurred speech and located an open container, and a station breath test came back well over 0.15. We pulled every patrol and body cam file and pressed the state on missing footage of the actual stop and the lack of a plate match from the 911 tip. We also challenged how the tests were conducted and the reliability of the device. Facing those issues, the prosecution reduced the charge and offered a plea with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CCCL2

Allegations

After leaving a bar, the client fell asleep at the wheel, clipped a turn and struck a pole. Police arrived quickly, detained the client, and a breath test at the station registered at or above .15. It was a first offense, no injuries, and no open containers were reported. We obtained the video and breath records, examined testing procedures, and compiled mitigation including medical documentation and character support. We guided the client through bond requirements, and despite the high BAC and crash, secured deferred probation to keep a conviction off the record upon completion.

Charge

Unlawful Disclosure or Promotion of Intimate Visual Material

Location

Harris County, 209th DC

Allegations

The state alleged our client shared an intimate photo with a third party after a relationship dispute. We obtained the image and related messages and showed the photo did not reveal a face, creating real doubt about who was depicted. We also challenged whether the state could prove lack of consent or any intent to harm, both required under the statute. After we outlined these evidentiary gaps and credibility issues, the prosecution agreed it could not meet its burden. The case was dismissed.

Charge

Assault on a Pregnant Person

Location

Harris County, 209th DC

Allegations

After a brief confrontation at a gas station, the pregnant complainant alleged our client assaulted her when he slapped a phone from her hand, and a warrant issued. He only learned of it when officers twice came to his home, so we quickly arranged a walk-through with a bondsman to clear the warrant on our terms. We preserved emails and messages showing she repeatedly contacted him afterward, including affectionate notes, and documented an earlier report prosecutors had already declined. We pressed those credibility and intent issues. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

The probation department filed a motion to revoke after a series of positive drug screens. The client self surrendered on the warrant, and we immediately obtained the probation file and lab reports, assessed the alleged violations, and prepared to contest them. In parallel, we worked with family to line up an inpatient treatment option and addressed bond concerns to show the court a concrete plan for compliance. We packaged this mitigation with our legal challenges and pushed the State to reconsider. The prosecutor withdrew the allegations and the court dismissed the motion.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, CCL3

Allegations

While on misdemeanor DWI probation, the client faced a revocation alleging late fees, alcohol use based on ignition‑interlock reports, a missed UA, and license issues. We secured the full probation file and device records, documenting repeated equipment malfunctions noted by the installer and that all arrears were brought current. We supplemented the file with medical documentation, caregiver responsibilities, and proof of completed treatment and ongoing meetings. We challenged the foundation for the tech evidence and prepared for a contested hearing. Confronted with weak proof and substantial compliance, the State dismissed the revocation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court at Law No. 14

Allegations

After a collision, officers administered roadside sobriety tests that, by the officer's own comments, were largely normal, then obtained a station breath sample near .12. The client had a shoulder injury, was sent to a hospital, and later learned a warrant would issue. We got involved immediately, secured the video, reports, and breath-testing records, and built a precise timeline from scene to station to hospital. We pressed the state on the mismatch between the observations and the number, the effect of documented injuries on testing, and gaps in processing. Confronted with those proof issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle

Location

Harris County, 263rd DC

Allegations

A patrol unit activated its lights behind our client on a crowded freeway near an active incident with multiple emergency vehicles. Dashcam video showed the client signaling, moving across lanes, then taking the first safe exit, turning on hazards, and stopping, where they complied. The officer labeled this as evading in a vehicle. We obtained the footage and reports and argued the state could not prove intent to flee and that a safe place to stop had not been available in traffic. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.
