About

The firm represents clients in a wide range of criminal matters, including DWI, drug offenses, assault, domestic violence, theft, and other misdemeanor and felony charges at both the state and county levels.

Texas Defenders is known for its disciplined case preparation and strategic approach to defense. Every case is thoroughly analyzed from the initial stop or investigation through final disposition, with close attention paid to constitutional issues, evidentiary weaknesses, and procedural errors. The firm routinely challenges unlawful stops, arrests, searches, and testing methods, and is prepared to litigate aggressively when the State’s evidence falls short.

Clients of Texas Defenders receive direct, honest communication and a defense strategy tailored to the unique facts of their case. The firm prioritizes transparency, accessibility, and advocacy, guiding clients through the criminal justice process while working toward the strongest possible outcome
