Criminal Defense for Southlake Residents

A criminal charge can threaten your freedom, your career, and your reputation in a close community. Cases from Southlake are prosecuted by the Tarrant County Criminal District Attorney’s Office and heard in Southlake Municipal Court or the Tarrant County criminal courts in Fort Worth.

Our Southlake criminal defense attorneys handle:

  • DWI and intoxication offenses
  • Drug possession and distribution
  • Assault and family violence allegations
  • Theft and white-collar crimes

We review police reports, bodycam footage, and testing records for mistakes. If Southlake police or Tarrant County deputies violated your rights, we fight to have the evidence thrown out and the charges reduced or dismissed. For DWI arrests, see our Southlake DWI defense page.

Family Law Guidance in Southlake

Divorce and custody cases affect your finances and your time with your children for years. Under Texas Family Code Section 153.002, the child’s best interest is the court’s primary consideration in every custody decision. Our Southlake family law attorneys help clients with:

  • Divorce and property division
  • Child custody and visitation
  • Child support and spousal maintenance
  • Modifications of existing orders

Texas is a community property state, but under Family Code Section 7.001, courts divide property in a manner that is just and right, not always 50/50. We work to make sure the division reflects your contributions and protects your separate property.

Personal Injury Claims in Southlake

Crashes on State Highway 114, State Highway 26, and Southlake Boulevard can cause serious injuries. Under Civil Practice and Remedies Code Section 33.001, you can recover damages as long as your share of responsibility is not more than 50%. Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years under Section 16.003.

We handle vehicle accidents and unsafe property claims. We don’t accept the insurance company’s first low offer, and we prepare every claim as if it’s going to trial.

What’s different from the Beeville pages

  • Different structure: The criminal defense hub is built around the three Southlake court levels, charge-by-charge sections, career and travel consequences, and a consultation checklist. The Beeville hub covers when to hire a lawyer, collateral consequences, and the benefits of a lawyer.
  • Different scope: The Southlake location page keeps family law and personal injury, plus the Tarrant County court setup and nearby cities. None of that is on the Beeville page. The Penal Code 12.21 line, the ALR section and the “what to do next” steps now appear only on Beeville.
  • Legal fixes from the old copy:
    • Voting rights are now described as suspended until the sentence is complete.
    • The public housing claim is removed.
    • The DWI stop standard is now reasonable suspicion, not probable cause.
    • The “strictest DWI laws” line is cut.
    • I added the two-year deadline to file an injury claim.
  • Please confirm before posting:
    • Whether the Southlake office at 151 Players Circle is still open.
    • Which phone number the client wants (817 or 325).
    • Whether the /southlake/criminal-defense/dui/ URL is still live, since both pages link to it.
