Charged with a misdemeanor in Texas? An arrest or criminal charge does not mean you will be convicted.

In this video, Texas Defenders attorney David Payma discusses a real case where hard work, careful analysis, and persistent advocacy helped us secure a dismissal for our client.

Every case is different. But this is exactly why we believe criminal charges should be thoroughly investigated and challenged when the facts and law support it.

🚓 Dallas drivers, take notice: Dallas Police are expanding freeway and tollway patrols across the city — and that means more traffic enforcement, more stops, and potentially more arrests.

A routine traffic stop can quickly turn into an investigation for DWI, drug possession, unlawful weapon possession, outstanding warrants, or other criminal charges.

We put together a new guide explaining what’s changing, what Dallas drivers should expect, and most importantly, what you should — and should not — do if you’re pulled over.

Know your rights before you see the flashing lights.

If a Dallas traffic stop turns into an arrest or criminal charge, call Texas Defenders at 214-306-9696.

Dallas Police are taking a much larger role in freeway and tollway enforcement across Dallas. For drivers, that means increased interaction with DPD officers on major highways—and potentially more traffic stops that develop into DWI, drug possession, weapons, warrant, and other criminal investigat...

Curbside Confessions · Ep. 2

“If someone forgets to scan one item, is that stealing?”

She said YES absolutely. Because you’ll feel bad about it when you get home. 😅

Cute, but not really how the law works. But she got one thing very right: if someone she loved actually got caught shoplifting, she’d call a lawyer right away. Enter Texas Defenders.

Theft and shoplifting charges in Texas can turn into a damning criminal record fast, and “I forgot” is not automatically a defense. If you or someone you love is facing any kind of theft charges in Dallas or San Antonio, we’ve helped a lot of good people through these kinds of sticky situations.
