Texas Criminal Defense Practice Areas

Our Core Practice Areas

• Assault and Violent Crimes

  Many of these cases are not what the label suggests. They are arguments that escalated, threats made in anger, or nights that got out of hand between people who have since reconciled. We defend assault bodily injury, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, terroristic threat, and related charges by putting the full context in front of the State.

  Austin Hagee spent years as a felony and family-violence prosecutor at the Bexar County District Attorney's Office. He now uses that advanced insider’s knowledge of how the State charges people with crimes to give them the strongest criminal defense possible.

• Drug Crimes

  Possession, delivery, and manufacturing charges involving marijuana, CBD and THC products, cocaine, ecstasy, prescription pills, and other controlled substances. These cases usually rest on a search and a lab result, and both can be challenged. We also defend the paraphernalia charge that often rides along with a possession case, especially in vape and THC arrests.

• DWI/DUI Lawyers in San Antonio, TX

  The core of our practice. Most of our clients are employed people with no record who never expected to need a defense lawyer. We move fast to protect both your record and your license. A court-appointed lawyer will not fight for your driving privileges. We will.

• Expunction and Record Sealing

  A dismissal does not clear your record on its own. We expunge and seal arrests and charges so background checks come back clean, and we tell you the exact date you become eligible. No court appearance is usually required. We also handle pardon applications and certificates of rehabilitation.

• Family Violence

  An accusation here moves fast and costs a lot before anything is proven. Police in Bexar County typically arrest someone whenever they are called to a domestic argument, even when the other person does not want charges filed. Austin prosecuted these cases as a family violence prosecutor, so he knows how they are built and where they break. We also handle affidavits of non-prosecution, assault second offense with a prior family violence conviction, continuous family violence, choking and strangulation allegations, and the affirmative finding that can follow you for life. For these cases in particular, private counsel matters.

• Intoxication and Vehicular Manslaughter

  The most serious cases we take. One night changed everything, and the State will treat you as the worst version of that night. We do not. We build a slow, evidence-first defense and prepare it for trial.

• Intoxication Assault

  When a suspected DWI leaves someone injured, the case stops being a DWI. It becomes a felony with real prison exposure and a very different defense. We handle these with the care they require.

• Juvenile Defense

  For parents: a charge against your teenager does not disappear on its own, and the juvenile system has its own rules and its own long-term consequences for school and financial aid. Most of the cases we see involve vape pens and THC. We work with you, keep you informed, and fight to protect your child's record.

• Marijuana Possession Defense Attorneys in San Antonio, TX

  Texas marijuana law has become a maze of hemp rules, delta products, and shifting legislation. Flower is often treated lightly now, while anything concentrated is not. We defend possession cases and explain exactly where your product falls under current law.

• Sex Crimes Attorneys in San Antonio, TX

  If you find yourself being investigated and ultimately charged with a Texas sex offense, you should not speak to the police, and you should reach out to an experienced attorney who has represented these kinds of cases.

• THC Texas Vape Pen Defense Lawyers

  One of our top focus areas, and the charge most people misunderstand. Since September 1, 2025, there are no legal vape pens in Texas, and concentrated THC or CBD oil is treated as a felony while marijuana flower is not. Students and teenagers make up a large share of these cases. We challenge the search, the lab testing, and how the State weighed the cartridge.
