Common Criminal Charges in Alamo Heights We Defend

DWI — Driving While Intoxicated

AHPD makes a significant number of DWI arrests, especially:

• At night

• Near Alamo Heights restaurants and bars

• During holiday enforcement periods

We challenge:

• The stop itself

• Field sobriety tests

• Blood and breath reliability

• Body/dash cam inconsistencies

A strong defense can lead to dismissal, no-conviction resolutions, or reduced charges.

---

Drug Possession — Including THC Concentrates

Many Alamo Heights drug arrests stem from traffic stops or “odor” justifications. THC remains a felony if it's an oil, vape cartridge, wax, or edible.

We defend:

• Possession of Controlled Substance (including THC)

• Marijuana possession

• Paraphernalia

• Vehicle search challenges

If the search was unlawful, the evidence can be thrown out.

---

Assault & Family Violence

AHPD responds quickly to disturbance calls, often making an arrest even when evidence is limited.

We defend:

• Assault causing bodily injury (family violence)

• Dating violence

• Roommate/household disputes

• Protective order violations

A family-violence finding is permanent — we fight aggressively to prevent it.

---

Theft & Property Crimes

Common Alamo Heights cases include:

• Shoplifting or retail theft

• Property damage

What Happens After an Alamo Heights Arrest
