Criminal Defense Case Results in Houston, TX

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

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Galveston County, 56th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a disturbance at a hotel lobby and arrested the client for public intoxication. During the booking inventory at the jail, they claimed to find two blue pills in a wallet, later tested as prescription amphetamine weighing well under a gram. We demanded all body cam and jail inventory footage and pointed out the lack of video documenting the alleged find. We also presented mitigation, including a clean observed drug test and strong character support. After brief drug and alcohol classes were completed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Indecent Assault

Location

Brazoria County

Allegations

After a medical call, our client was transported in an ambulance and later accused of indecent assault for allegedly touching a responder. We secured the EMS run data, hospital records showing rib fractures and significant pain, and statements describing the client strapped to a gurney during a bumpy ride. We highlighted discrepancies in the reports and, most importantly, the state’s inability to prove any sexual intent. We presented this package early and pressed the prosecutor on the evidentiary gaps. The DA dismissed the case.

Charge

Assault - Class C

Location

Galveston County, Galveston Municipal Court of Record

Allegations

Our client was cited for Class C assault after an altercation at a public venue where an intoxicated patron confronted them while they were holding a child. The client admitted tossing an empty foam cup as the aggressor tried to lunge past a bystander, and moments later the aggressor punched that bystander, who needed medical care. We secured the venue's surveillance video and gathered witness statements showing the aggressor initiated the conflict and the cup caused no injury. We also documented the parallel case against the aggressor. Faced with this context and a clear self defense narrative, the prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Assault - Family Violence (Class C)

Location

Brazoria County, Pearland Municipal Court of Record

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute after a third-party 911 call. The client reported he extended an arm to keep distance during an argument, and the complainant fell. We obtained the 911 audio, bodycam footage, and reports, and secured a statement from an on-scene witness. Our review showed a delay between the incident and the report, minimal corroborating injury evidence, and facts that undercut any intent to cause contact. We presented these issues to the prosecutor, who dismissed the case.

Charge

Criminal Mischief

Location

Galveston County, County Court at Law No. 1

Allegations

Police alleged the client damaged a pickup outside a residence after a tense personal dispute. We gathered the 911 call, body and dashcam, and the home surveillance video. The footage showed only a generic white truck and a figure who could not be identified, with no license plate captured. Repair photos or invoices proving damage or its value were never produced, despite the prosecution’s assertions. We pressed the identification gap and valuation issues and set the case for trial. The prosecution dismissed the charge.

Charge

Driving With a Suspended License

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

After a roadside stop, the client was cited for driving while their license was allegedly suspended because of old tickets. By the time we got involved, they had paid the reinstatement fee and were working through those fines. We obtained the driving record and proof of compliance, then challenged whether any suspension was still in effect at the time of the stop. We presented those issues to the prosecutor and kept the pressure on. The state dismissed the case.

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

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

The client was accused after a passerby reported seeing activity in a vehicle and later provided a brief cell phone video along with the plate number. We secured the discovery and scrutinized the footage, which was captured through dark window tint and did not clearly show the alleged conduct or who was in the car. We highlighted these identification and proof problems and made clear we were prepared to fight them in court. The prosecution agreed to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon completion.

Charge

Indecent Exposure

Location

Brazoria County, CC3

Allegations

Our client was accused of indecent exposure after a bystander reported activity in a parked car and provided a cell phone video with a license plate number. We obtained the footage and discovery, which showed only a vehicle with heavily tinted windows, recorded at a distance as it pulled away. The clip did not clearly depict any exposure or reliably identify the person inside. We emphasized these evidentiary gaps and the State’s high burden, and signaled readiness to challenge admissibility. The prosecution 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

Possession of THC (Third-Degree Felony)

Location

Galveston County, 122nd DC

Allegations

The client was stopped for an equipment violation and the officer noticed a vape cartridge in the center console. After the client, visibly anxious, consented to a search, officers arrested for felony possession of THC. We obtained the evidence, scrutinized the visibility of the device, the scope of the consent search, and the state’s proof of actual THC content and weight. We presented these issues and pushed for a non‑conviction outcome. The prosecution dismissed the case, and the client’s bond obligations ended.
