Aggravated Robbery

Our highly skilled criminal defense attorneys can defend you against charges of residential burglary or burglary of a habitation. If you are accused of entering a residence with the intent to commit theft, assault, or a felony, we will stand by your side. Contact Us.

Drug Charges

Getting caught with an illegal controlled substance or narcotic is a serious crime. People charged with drug possession face prison or jail time, long probation, and really high costs. Texas is one of the states known for its strict drug crime laws. Contact Us.

DWI

Along our Texas roadways, we see signs that the Texas Department of Transportation posts saying, “DWI – You Can’t Afford It.” If you are convicted in Texas of a DWI first offense with BAC over .15, you could be looking at up to a year in jail, a $4000 fine, a driver’s license suspension, thousands of dollars in surcharges, and other serious penalties. Contact Us.

Expungement

Did you know that, even if you were only arrested but not convicted of a crime in Texas, the records of that arrest still appear in the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Computerized Criminal History System? Also, you may not know the disturbing fact that the TX DPS is allowed to sell access to the state’s criminal database to private vendors. Contact Us.

Felony Punishments

For many years, Texas had only four classifications for felonies: (1) capital felony; (2) felonies of the first degree; (3) felonies of the second degree; and (4) felonies of the third degree. In 1993, the Texas Legislature created a lower felony classification called a “State Jail Felony.” Probation is mandatory for some state jail felonies. Contact Us.

Shoplifting

Most shoplifting cases arise from a department store (e.g. Wal-Mart or Dillard’s). Often a “loss prevention officer” monitors people on surveillance video. Then if someone is suspected of shoplifting an employee may then intervene or call for police. Theft charges can weak havoc on your ability to pass a background check. Contact Us.

Tampering with Evidence

Tampering with evidence can convert a simple misdemeanor into a major felony, turning a small fine case into serious punishment or prison time. People often do not know that their actions can bring about this charge and in many cases even seemingly innocent actions can bring about tampering with evidence charges under Texas law. Contact Us.

Violent Crime

America’s criminal justice system takes criminal conduct seriously, but the law imposes especially harsh penalties if you are convicted of a violent crime.
