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. All criminal cases above Class C 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. When we walk into the Cadena-Reeves building to negotiate or litigate your case, we know the prosecutors on the other side — their evaluation standards, their weaknesses, and what arguments they take seriously. 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. Dismissal — not a favorable plea, not damage control — is the goal on every case we take in Bexar County. Call 210-692-4913 the day of the arrest.
