San Antonio Criminal Defense — Bexar County Courts, DA Joe Gonzales, and Why the First Call Matters
Criminal cases in San Antonio are prosecuted by DA Joe Gonzales’s office and heard at the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center at 300 Dolorosa Street. Class A and B misdemeanors — DWI first and second offense, assault, drug possession, theft — go to the Bexar County Courts at Law on the lower floors. Felonies — aggravated assault, drug trafficking, DWI with a child, felony DWI — go to the Bexar County District Courts. Both court systems operate from the same building. DA Gonzales’s office prosecutes everything at both levels.
Mark Hull and Allison Tisdale are both former prosecutors. They have built cases from the state’s side and now use that same knowledge to dismantle them. When we walk into the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center, we know how the prosecution evaluates its cases, what evidence it considers strong, and where its arguments have weaknesses. That inside knowledge is not a marketing line — it shapes every negotiation and every motion we file.
The Bexar County DA’s Office begins its work the day of arrest. SAPD body camera footage, 911 recordings, and witness statements are gathered before most defendants have spoken with an attorney. The actions taken — and the attorney retained — in the first 72 hours shape what options exist for the rest of the case. Call 210-692-4913 today.
