Criminal Defense Case Results in Williamson, TX

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Our client was stopped for registration and insurance issues. The officer said he smelled marijuana, searched the car, and seized a personal-use amount later confirmed by a lab, which led to a warrant and a misdemeanor filing. After being retained, we pulled the case discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the vehicle search, and built mitigation. We had the client complete a drug awareness course and provide three clean tests over several weeks. We presented that package and pressed the weaknesses in the stop. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Stopped for alleged lane drift, the client was investigated for DWI. Field sobriety testing took place on a windy highway shoulder beside a barrier, and he later provided a breath sample reported over .15. We pulled the reports and body cam, scrutinized how the tests were set up and instructed, and challenged the escalation from a minor traffic issue. Using those weaknesses, we pressured the prosecution to drop the high-BAC enhancement and secured a charge reduction with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL2

Allegations

After a stop for lane drifting, officers suspected intoxication, conducted roadside tests, and arrested our client. He refused the breath test, and a blood sample was taken. We obtained the body and dash video, which showed a calm, respectful interaction and solid performance on balance testing. We pressed the state on the blood analysis and the way the roadside testing was conducted. The client also completed an alcohol evaluation and began recommended steps. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction and straight probation with no jail condition.

Charge

Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Felony)

Location

Williamson County

Allegations

After a crash where the driver left the area, the vehicle's owner told his insurer our client had been driving, and investigators later called to ask questions. We got involved quickly, took over communications, and requested the police report and the insurance file. Our review showed the identification rested on a secondhand insurance claim rather than direct evidence. We challenged the state to produce corroboration tying our client to the wheel at the time of impact. When they could not, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Following a late-night traffic stop for alleged wrong-way driving, the client was arrested and declined field sobriety testing. Officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw that later reported a BAC around 0.142. We secured the dash and body camera footage, which showed a calm stop, proper parking, and steady movements, with no obvious slurring. We also emphasized the time gap between the stop and the blood draw. Using these issues to press the prosecution, we negotiated a resolution that avoided jail and resulted in straight probation.

Charge

Theft (Third Degree or State Jail Felony)

Location

Williamson County, 277th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Our client faced a state jail felony theft case, and a missed setting had already triggered a warrant. We engaged quickly, coordinated with the court to address the warrant, and worked to get the bond situation under control. We relayed the transportation problems that caused the absence, the client’s recent steps toward stability, and the lack of prior felony convictions. With those mitigating factors on the table, we pushed to limit felony exposure. The charge was reduced and the resolution credited time already served, avoiding further jail.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

While on deferred probation for a misdemeanor, the client was accused of a technical violation after missing reporting dates following a transfer. They had relied on text reminders that stopped and later found the messages were being sent to a spam folder. We coordinated a voluntary surrender and bond, then gathered the reporting printout, message logs, and proof of classes and payments. We showed probation and the prosecutor that this was a notification error and that the client was otherwise compliant while finishing community service. The state dismissed the motion to revoke.

Charge

Harassment - Electronic Communication

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Our client was charged after a heated back and forth over alleged bullying spilled onto texts and social media. Police gathered selected screenshots and filed a harassment, electronic communication case. We pulled the full message threads and related school correspondence to place the exchange in context, documented that contact ceased, and presented mitigation to the prosecutor. After negotiations, the State agreed to dismiss upon verified community service. The client completed the hours, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

After a minor collision with a parked car, the client left the area and was later contacted by police away from the scene. He declined field sobriety and breath testing, and officers obtained a blood sample. We scrutinized the lack of driving observations and the delayed contact, then built a mitigation package showing treatment, AA attendance, and clean alcohol monitoring. Although diversion was initially denied due to the BAC, we appealed and secured entry. The client completed the program and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Interference with Public Duties

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

The charge arose after our client went to a school to address ongoing bullying concerns and police were called. An officer moved to detain the client for a public-intoxication inquiry when the client stepped outside to retrieve a phone, and an interfering with public duties allegation followed. We pulled the body-camera footage, the school communications, and medical records explaining symptoms that could mimic impairment. We challenged whether the detention and any alleged interference were legally supported. After presenting that package and proof of community service, the prosecutor dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

After a short drive to pick up items, the driver made a wrong turn, was stopped, and arrested for DWI. At the station, an evidential breath test reportedly read around 0.11. We zeroed in on potential problems with the breath testing, including whether two sequential samples were collected within tolerance and whether the observation period and instructions were properly followed. We also front‑loaded mitigation with alcohol education and consistent compliance. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Following a roadway incident, officers suspected DWI and arrested our client. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the lab report showing a 0.04 BAC, well below the per se limit, and reviewed the video evidence. We challenged any claim of impairment and pressed the State by preparing for a speedy trial. Confronted with a weak case, prosecutors agreed to dismiss after the client completed a brief educational panel. The case was dismissed and bond conditions were lifted.
