Thanksgiving week was pretty quite at the courthouse. However, we still got some good results for clients:
State of Texas v. OG – Possession of Marijuana – DISMISSED – Client was charged with possessing a very small amount of marijuana. This was the first time the client had ever been in trouble with the law. We were able to work out an informal agreement which resulted in the case being dismissed.
State of Texas v. SS – Fail to Identify to a Police Officer – DISMISSED – The client was accused of lying about his identity during a traffic stop. For the State to convict a person of the offense of Fail to ID, they must prove that the accused was lawfully detained and that they lied about their identity. This is a Class B misdemeanor unless the accused has an outstanding warrant, then the charge is a Class A misdemeanor. My client did not lie about his identity, he merely stuttered when giving his date of birth because he was nervous.
State of Texas v. EQ – Displaying a Fraudulent or Counterfeit Inspection Sticker – DISMISSED – The client was pulled over by the police because the officer claimed that the client had a counterfeit inspection sticker. The client did not know the sticker was fake and we were able to get the State to dismiss the case.
