Criminal Defense Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, Court 3

Allegations

Police arrested our client after a domestic argument in a vehicle where officers alleged a brief hair pull. A bystander with a gun inserted himself, a shot was fired, and the complainant was injured, yet the client was the one charged. We pressed for the full evidence, secured 911 recordings, and sought body camera and reports, emphasizing that the only serious force came from a third party. The complainant later told us she did not wish to prosecute. We presented those facts to the DA and kept the pressure on until the State dismissed the case.

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

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL13

Allegations

Police stopped the client for driving without headlights after leaving a brightly lit area. The client acknowledged a few drinks, showed only minimal clues on field sobriety tests, and later provided two breath samples just over the legal limit. We obtained the police reports and breath test records, broke down the scoring of the field tests, and emphasized the significant gap between the stop and testing, consistent with a rising BAC. We pressed these deficiencies with the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

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

Theft (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Harris County, 182nd DC

Allegations

After an employer reported payroll irregularities, our client was accused of receiving duplicate salary payments in an amount within the felony range. With a warrant already issued, we moved quickly to address it and guide the client through the bond process. We analyzed the paper trail alleged by the complainant and emphasized the client’s clean history and cooperation. We pushed for accountability without a permanent felony, and secured deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

Injury to a Child/Elderly/Disabled Individual

Location

Harris County, 496th DC

Allegations

Police filed a felony after a heated dispute at a residence involving an older relative. Officers alleged the client slapped and pushed the complainant, but the accounts conflicted and there were signs the client reacted to a confrontation. We moved quickly to secure discovery, review reports and video, and catalog credibility problems. The complainant later declined to cooperate. Leveraging those weaknesses, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense, and the court credited time already served to resolve the case.

Charge

Theft (State Jail Felony)

Location

Harris County, 339th DC

Allegations

The case began after our client let an acquaintance use a rental car. Weeks later the car was not returned, the acquaintance blocked contact, and someone used the client’s ID to sell the vehicle. The state filed a felony theft charge. We obtained the rental records, police report, and messages showing the client tried to resolve it and reported the car stolen. We then exposed a key problem in the state’s file, the contract listed a different vehicle than the one allegedly sold with no documented swap. After pressing these issues and preparing for trial, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

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

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

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

The case arose from a domestic dispute that led to an arrest for family violence. We immediately gathered the client’s texts, call logs, and location records, and secured a witness who confirmed the other party initiated contact and escalated the situation. We compiled these materials to highlight credibility problems and context missing from the initial report. After pressing these issues with the prosecution, the State agreed to reduce the charge. The matter was resolved with a sentence of time served, and no additional jail time was imposed.

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.
