Criminal Defense in Bexar County — Courts, DA, and Why Who You Hire Matters Here
The Bexar County criminal justice system is handled by DA Joe Gonzales’s office with specialized prosecution units for DWI, family violence, major crimes, and narcotics. Most adult criminal cases above the Class C level are heard at the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center at 300 Dolorosa Street — Class A and B misdemeanors in the Bexar County Courts at Law, felonies in the Bexar County District Courts. DA Gonzales’s office brings unit-specific prosecutors who work the same charge types repeatedly. The defense needs to match that specialization.
Mark Hull has practiced criminal defense in Texas for over 20 years. Allison Tisdale prosecuted criminal cases as a Texas state prosecutor before joining the defense. That prior prosecutorial experience provides firsthand perspective on how criminal cases are evaluated and prepared, and it informs the firm’s review of evidence, procedure, and defense strategy when negotiating or litigating at the Cadena-Reeves Justice Center. That inside knowledge is the specific advantage that comes from having been on both sides of the table in Texas courts.
A criminal conviction in Texas — even a Class A misdemeanor — is permanent. It appears on background checks, affects professional licensing, restricts firearm rights in certain cases, and can compound against you in any future criminal matter. The firm evaluates dismissal, suppression, reduction, diversion, negotiated resolution, and trial based on the facts of each case. Call 210-899-0732 the day of the arrest.
