L.C. bonded out and immediately called our office for representation. We were hired on the case and immediately got to work. We requested videos from the police department within a week of L.C.’s arrest, but the police department did not produce them. We went to court for almost an entire year, and the ADA could not get the videos. We later found out that, despite our office’s timely request for production, the videos were destroyed by the police department.

We argued that L.C.’s constitutional rights were violated because of the police department’s failure to preserve and produce the videos, especially considering the fact that they received notice of our office’s request for preservation and production within a week of L.C.’s arrest.

The two officers called for backup from a Texas State Trooper. The trooper arrived and performed field sobriety tests on K.S. The trooper believed that, based on his observations, K.S. was under the influence.

CM was driving down the road on a sunny weekend day when he rear-ended another vehicle. The other vehicle’s driver and passenger called the police and reported that CM was intoxicated and just caused an accident.

Police rushed the scene and, without getting CM’s side of the story, immediately began performing field sobriety tests on CM.

The police officer, who was young and new, performed only one of the three standard field sobriety tests and arrested CM for Driving While Intoxicated (“DWI”) in Galveston County.

CM bonded out and hired our firm to represent him on the Galveston County Driving While Intoxicated case.

We immediately got to work by requesting the dashcam arrest video, talking to witnesses, and reviewing the police report. Upon reviewing the police report, our office found fatal errors in the police officer’s report. Specifically, the Galveston police officer stated that he performed all three of the standard field sobriety tests and that CM showed signs of intoxication in all three tests. However, the arrest video clearly showed that the police officer only performed one test.

Armed with this ammunition, our firm negotiated a reduction of the driving while intoxicated case. CM pleaded “no contest” to reckless driving and received six months of deferred adjudication with no community service. If CM completes his six months of probation then CM will never be found guiltily of any crime and will be eligible to have the arrest and charges removed completely from his record.  Additionally, CM will never lose his driver’s license.

Client was pulled over one day for a defective license plate light. The officer smelled “burned marijuana” on the suspect. The officer called for a drug dog who found the drugs in the vehicle.

Client was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana.
