At Texas Defenders, we don't just talk about fighting for our clients—we prove it in court. Below you'll find real case outcomes that show how hard we fight and what we fight for: your freedom, your future, and your reputation.
Our team defends individuals across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and Bexar Counties facing charges ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. We take on the police, prosecutors, and flawed investigations—often exposing illegal stops, weak evidence, and constitutional violations that lead to full dismissals.
⚖️ These are real results from real clients. Names and identifying details have been removed to protect confidentiality.
Most people don't expect to be arrested. When it happens, they feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do next—and unsure who to trust. Our case results demonstrate:
Dismissals due to illegal searches
Suppression of evidence after unlawful stops
Reductions from felonies to misdemeanors
Diversion agreements with no conviction
Every case is unique. But what never changes is how thoroughly we investigate, how aggressively we defend, and how committed we are to beating your case.
The sooner we get involved in your case, the more options we have to protect you. Whether you've been charged with a drug crime, gun offense, DWI, assault, or theft—Texas Defenders is ready to fight.

Our client, a respected professional living out of state, discovered a 12-year-old warrant only after a routine background check. The allegation came from an ex-girlfriend who had a long history of making false accusations, stalking, and serious credibility issues — including sworn admissions in a California court that she fabricated prior claims due to mental health struggles. Despite knowing his address and contact information for over a decade, the State never attempted to notify or arrest him, violating his constitutional right to a speedy trial. San Antonio criminal defense attorney Monica Guerrero filed motions asserting these violations, and the State agreed to dismiss the case entirely, clearing the warrant and protecting our client's reputation.

Our client was pulled over by Dallas Police for allegedly failing to signal a turn. After the stop, officers searched him and found a THC vape pen and a firearm, leading to felony charges. Texas Defenders, led by attorney David Payma, took a strategic approach. We first filed letters of representation and discovery motions, then spent months reviewing every piece of evidence. Eventually, we secured dash cam footage that proved our client did in fact signal his turn—making the stop illegal. We filed a motion to suppress all evidence obtained after the unlawful detention. The judge granted our motion, and both the firearm and drug charges were dismissed. Outcome: Motion to Suppress Granted — Both Cases Dismissed Read On
