– Case Description

The owner of a tie beam company in the “cowboy capital” of the world was charged in three separate counties with three crimes: stealing materials, assaulting a peace officer, and moving stolen goods between counties.  He was also charged with violating his probation on another unrelated case.  He was incarcerated pending trial.  Venue: Bandera, Texas. (Texas v. Breeland)

 

Final Result

After a twenty-hour revocation hearing in Bandera,  Texas (which finished at 4:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving morning), the client was released on bond.  He was later found not guilty on all three charges in all three counties.  He filed a civil rights suit against the officer he allegedly assaulted, but who in fact had assaulted him.  The civil rights suit, in Federal Court, was settled for a confidential amount.
