Your Rights and Your Future After a Dallas Arrest
When you’re accused of a crime, the government must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt—one of the highest legal standards. Our job is to hold prosecutors to that standard and protect your constitutional rights at every turn.
Your Rights Include:
- The right to remain silent — you are not required to answer police questions.
- The right to legal representation — an attorney must be present during questioning or court appearances.
- The right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
If law enforcement violates any of these rights, we work to suppress illegally obtained evidence and weaken the prosecution’s case.
Our team reviews every detail of your case—from the first police stop on the Dallas North Tollway to the final report—identifying errors and inconsistencies that can lead to a dismissal or acquittal.
Criminal Defense Representation Across DFW and Central Texas
While our main office is based in Dallas, Tyson Law Firm represents individuals facing criminal charges throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and Central Texas.
Our criminal defense attorneys routinely handle cases in:
- Dallas County, including Dallas, Irving, and Mesquite
- Tarrant County, including Arlington, Fort Worth, and surrounding communities
- McLennan County, serving clients in Waco and nearby areas
Whether you were arrested in Dallas, pulled over in Arlington, or charged in Waco, our team brings the same strategic, trial-ready defense to every case—no matter the courtroom.
Fighting DWI Charges in Dallas County
A DWI charge in Dallas puts your license, livelihood, and reputation at risk. Whether you were pulled over on I-35E in Dallas, stopped in Arlington, or questioned after an evening out in Deep Ellum, immediate action is critical.
We challenge every part of the state’s case, including:
- Traffic Stop Legality: Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to stop you?
- Field Sobriety Tests: Were they conducted properly and fairly?
- Breath & Blood Tests: Were procedures followed, machines calibrated, and samples handled correctly?
Even a first-time DWI offense can lead to jail time, license suspension, and lasting consequences.
We build defenses that aim to keep your record clean and your freedom intact.
Responding to an Assault Accusation
An assault charge in Texas can stem from a misunderstanding, a heated argument, or false allegations—but the impact is serious.
We defend against all assault-related charges, including:
- Simple Assault (Class A Misdemeanor): Allegations of causing pain or offensive contact.
- Aggravated Assault (Felony): Claims of serious injury or use of a deadly weapon.
- Family Violence Assault: Involving family or household members; convictions can lead to firearm restrictions and lifelong stigma.
We investigate witness statements, physical evidence, and the accuser’s credibility—often asserting self-defense, lack of intent, or fabrication to protect your name and your future.
Understanding the Texas Criminal Justice Process
Navigating the criminal justice system can feel overwhelming. Having a Dallas criminal defense lawyer ensures you know what’s happening at every stage and that no step is taken without your protection.
Typical Stages of a Dallas Criminal Case:
Arrest & Booking
Usually at Dallas County Jail.
Arraignment
Formal reading of charges at the Frank Crowley Courts Building; your plea is typically “not guilty.”
Discovery
Both sides exchange evidence — police reports, bodycam footage, lab results, and witness statements.
Plea Negotiations
We review offers, explain pros and cons, and advise on strategy.
Pre-Trial Motions & Trial
We file motions to suppress evidence and, if necessary, present your case before a judge or jury.
Throughout this process, our team maintains constant communication, ensuring you’re informed, prepared, and confident in every decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I talk to the police if they want to question me?
No. Politely decline and request an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you—even if you’re innocent.
Will I have to go to jail?
How much does a Dallas criminal defense lawyer cost?
What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
- Misdemeanor: Less severe, punishable by up to 1 year in county jail.
- Felony: More serious, punishable by prison time and significant fines—plus the loss of certain rights.
What’s the difference between bond and bail?
- Bail is the amount set by the court for release.
- Bond is the payment or guarantee made (often through a bail bond company) to secure that release.
Can I get a criminal charge removed from my record?
Yes, in some cases. Options include expunction (complete removal) or nondisclosure (record sealing). Eligibility depends on the case outcome.
What should I do if there’s a warrant for my arrest?
Contact a criminal defense lawyer immediately. We can verify the warrant and arrange a safe, private surrender—minimizing public embarrassment or risk.
