Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Harris County, Humble Municipal Court

Allegations

After a small gathering, officers encountered our client disoriented outside a commercial area and issued a public intoxication citation. He was taken to a hospital and later received a notice to appear. We entered the case right away, filed our representation, and secured a reset of the initial setting. Our team obtained the report and bodycam and gathered medical records indicating a medical episode rather than intoxication. Using those issues in negotiations, we resolved the case with deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction.

Charge

Criminal Trespass (Misdemeanor)

Location

Harris County, County Criminal Court No. 6

Allegations

Our client was cited for criminal trespass after returning to a nightclub during business hours to ask a manager about an earlier ejection. He reported being told different things by security about whether and when he could come back, and denied making threats or causing a scene. We obtained the police reports, requested any surveillance or body camera video, and documented conflicting accounts about notice to leave. Early negotiations secured a brief pretrial intervention with short classes and a nominal fee/donation. He completed the terms and the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 497th DC

Allegations

After a probation revocation was filed, the State alleged our client tested positive for THC, missed check-ins, failed to provide a urine sample, traveled out of state without permission, and fell behind on fees and treatment. We secured release on bond and negotiated GPS-monitored travel so the client could assist an ailing family member. Our team pulled supervision records and correspondence, highlighting inconsistencies, including a date listed as both a no-show and a drug test. We compiled medical documentation and a compliance plan, pressed the prosecutor, and the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

Fraudulent Transfer of a Motor Vehicle (Felony)

Location

Harris County, 339th DC

Allegations

Our client was accused of fraudulent transfer after a rental car they loaned to an acquaintance was later sold using the client’s ID. The client promptly reported the car stolen and cooperated. In discovery, the contract listed one vehicle while the allegation involved a different car, and there was no clear paperwork documenting a mid-rental swap. We compiled texts showing the client’s efforts to make the company whole and pressed the prosecutor on the mismatch. Leveraging those issues, we secured deferred adjudication to avoid a conviction.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 230th DC

Allegations

The state moved to revoke a felony deferred case alleging two municipal tickets, missed probation contacts, a positive UA, and unpaid fees. We moved quickly to secure a walk-through bond to avoid custody, obtained the full probation file, and dissected each allegation against the records. We ensured the municipal tickets were not pled and remained unproven, showed that nearly all classes had been completed and one had never been assigned, and presented substantial mitigation about the client’s situation. Facing weak proof and strong mitigation, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Violation of a Protective Order

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The client was accused of violating a protective order after the complainant reported messages and claimed the client drove past a residence. Our team got involved immediately, coordinated a safe court appearance on the warrant, and gathered digital records. We compiled text threads showing the complainant initiated contact, phone and location data confirming the client was elsewhere, and a witness to the threatening call. We presented these inconsistencies and the lack of proof of prohibited contact to the prosecutor. With key facts undermined, the case was dismissed.

Charge

Failure to Stop and Render Aid

Location

Harris County, 488th DC

Allegations

After a low speed contact with a pedestrian near a crosswalk, police opened a failure to stop case. The client stopped at once, apologized, and tried to check on the person, who stayed on the phone, refused to engage, took a photo of the plate, and walked away before later reporting an injury. We stepped in early, halted further questioning, and gathered scene photos and a witness confirming the client repeatedly offered help. We showed prosecutors the evidence that aid was offered and declined. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

A motion to revoke alleged absconding after missed probation visits caused by housing and transportation issues. The client had no new charges and had resumed reporting before being arrested on the warrant. We entered the case and gathered proof of a verified job offer, clean drug tests, class attendance, mental health intake, and emails showing ongoing contact with supervision. We secured a bond modification so the client could work. The court kept the case on deferred adjudication rather than adjudicating guilt.

Charge

Insurance Fraud (State Jail Felony)

Location

Harris County, 184th DC

Allegations

The case began after the client reported a vehicle missing and later learned it had been found burned, prompting a fraud investigation. Detectives said he gave inconsistent information about where the car was left and pointed to an insurance claim as evidence of intent. We stepped in, instructed him to stop speaking with investigators, coordinated a walkthrough surrender, and collected bank and phone records he had already provided. We also compiled medical records documenting recent blackouts and PTSD, and proof he kept paying on the car and was not seeking a payout. Using that package to undercut motive and intent, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Arson

Location

Harris County, 184th District Court

Allegations

After the client moved a vehicle off an apartment lot, it was later found burned and impounded. Detectives suspected the client set the fire, citing video of the client driving away and lifting the hood. We stepped in during the investigation, cut off further questioning, and opened a dialogue with the investigator. Our team compiled phone logs, bank statements, and insurance records showing no effort to profit, along with medical documentation to explain memory gaps. We pressed weaknesses in motive and timeline and negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Harris County, Court 8

Allegations

A traffic stop escalated after a caller reported erratic driving. Officers approached quickly, issued rapid commands, and used a Taser when the client hesitated before pulling into a lot. He was treated at a hospital and charged with interference for allegedly refusing orders. We obtained bodycam, dispatch audio, and reports to reconstruct the timeline and show confusion rather than intent to obstruct. Using those issues as leverage, we negotiated a probationary resolution the client could manage.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

Following a crash, the client was arrested and the vehicle was towed. During the post-arrest inventory, officers reported a loaded revolver in a door compartment, leading to a weapon charge. We obtained the bodycam and agency records tied to the tow and inventory, then mapped the timeline of the stop, arrest, and search. Inconsistencies surfaced about how and when the gun was found and whether it was actually accessible. We prepared suppression arguments and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.
