Assault Case Results in Hays, TX

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

After a heated dispute at a residence, a caller alleged our client displayed a firearm and police later detained the client. We secured and reviewed body camera footage, a bystander video, and the client's own recording, then built a clear timeline of events. The materials did not corroborate any assaultive act or threat with a weapon and left key elements of the charge unproven. We presented those evidentiary gaps to the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to litigate. The aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge was dismissed.

Charge

Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

During a residential visit, a dispute led to a 911 report that our client had brandished a firearm, and he was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. We moved quickly to gather all recordings, pulling the client’s own camera footage along with body-worn video and third-party clips. Comparing those videos to the initial statements revealed major inconsistencies and did not corroborate any assaultive use of a weapon. We compiled a detailed timeline and challenged the credibility of the allegation. Confronted with the evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence

Location

Hays County, CCL3

Allegations

Police filed a family-violence assault after a domestic dispute at a residence. The complainant told 911 she wanted the incident documented, and officers arrested our client based on her initial statement that hair had been grabbed during an argument. We obtained the 911 audio and police video, gathered proof of counseling and a completed parenting course, and highlighted that there were no visible injuries and the accounts were disputed. The complainant later signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, which we presented. After negotiations, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Continuous)

Location

Hays County, 428th District Court

Allegations

Police filed a continuous family violence case after a domestic dispute at a residence, citing multiple alleged incidents over time. From the start, our client maintained they acted defensively and that the other party initiated the confrontation. We compared the initial report to later statements and found conflicts, and noted that law enforcement had first detained the complainant before the narrative shifted. We compiled those credibility problems and pressed the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Assault

Location

Hays County, 453rd District Court

Allegations

The client reached out after a dispute with another person turned physical and police opened an assault case. He reported being hit first with a modem, after which both parties fought. Weeks later the complainant changed the story, newly alleging our client used a bottle. We collected text messages and other communications showing their ongoing contact and the shifting narrative, and highlighted evidence of mutual combat and self defense. Faced with those credibility issues, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
