San Antonio Domestic Violence Attorney

Clear Guidance & Steady Defense

Allegations of domestic violence move quickly, often long before anyone has the full picture of what happened. Police may arrive during an argument, respond to a neighbor’s call, or take statements from people who are upset or frightened. Once officers make an arrest, the situation grows complicated fast. Court dates, protective orders, bond conditions, and limitations on communication can appear within hours.

When you contact The Law Office of Rene A. Flores PLLC, the focus is on giving you control at a time when everything feels governed by someone else’s decisions. You will meet directly with Attorney Rene Flores, who will walk you through what the charge means, what happens next, and what needs attention immediately. The priority is to take action that protects your rights from the beginning.

Your defense starts with one conversation. Call (956) 606-3606 or message us online to schedule your free consultation with our San Antonio domestic violence attorney.

Work with an Attorney Who Understands Both Sides of These Cases

Attorney Rene Flores brings a background that few domestic violence defense lawyers have. He has served as a City Prosecutor and spent many years as a Municipal Judge, giving him insight into how charging decisions are made, how prosecutors assess risk, and how judges evaluate evidence in family-related cases.

This experience shapes a defense strategy that is both practical and thorough. He understands:

• How officers make arrest decisions during domestic disturbances
• How prosecutors assess credibility and decide whether to move forward
• How judges view no-contact orders, bond restrictions, and case timelines
• Where gaps in evidence or inconsistencies can shift the direction of a case

Attorney Flores also holds the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist certification, the only attorney in South Texas to have earned this accreditation. While domestic violence cases do not always involve laboratory testing, many do include medical records, toxicology screens, injury analysis, or digital evidence that requires detailed examination. This scientific training helps ensure that evidence is reviewed with precision.

Working with The Law Office of Rene A. Flores PLLC means your defense is built with insight from the prosecutorial side, judicial experience from the bench, and scientific training that supports evidence-based review.

How We Review Domestic Violence Allegations and Build a Defense That Fits the Facts

Domestic violence cases in San Antonio often move quickly, and the initial narrative is not always the full story. Our role is to examine what happened from every angle and determine which defense aligns with the facts of your situation. Instead of treating the allegation as fixed, we look at the circumstances, the relationship dynamics, and the evidence to identify where the State’s version may not hold.

The defenses we explore often include:

• Self-defense. Whether you acted to protect yourself during a physical confrontation or responded to an immediate threat.
• Defense of others. Situations where you stepped in to protect a child or another household member.
• Misidentification of the primary aggressor. When the wrong person is labeled as the aggressor due to incomplete or rushed assessments at the scene.
• Mutual confrontation. Circumstances where both parties contributed to the escalation, which can change how the law applies.
• Accidental contact. When injuries result from unintended movement, not intentional harm.
• False or exaggerated claims. Allegations made during breakups, custody disputes, or emotionally charged moments that do not reflect what actually occurred.
• Lack of corroborating evidence. When the physical findings, witness accounts, or digital records do not match the accusation.

When Domestic Violence Allegations Lead to Criminal Charges

San Antonio law enforcement agencies take family violence calls seriously. Officers are trained to separate people involved, document injuries, and make quick determinations about whether an arrest is required to prevent further conflict. This means the legal system often moves before anyone has fully explained what happened.

These cases can involve allegations of:

• Assault
• Harassment
• Stalking
• Kidnapping or restraint-related allegations
• Emotional or psychological abuse

Some charges involve physical injuries. Others rely entirely on statements, text messages, phone records, or claims that one person felt threatened. Each type of allegation requires a different legal approach, and the first step is understanding exactly what the State believes occurred.

Protective Orders & Bond Conditions: Immediate Issues That Need Fast Attention

Domestic violence cases often involve restrictions that begin immediately:

• No-contact orders
• Orders requiring relocation from the shared home
• GPS or alcohol monitoring conditions
• Limitations on communication with family members or children

We work quickly to clarify these restrictions, request modifications where possible, and address misunderstandings before they escalate. Our goal is to protect your ability to work, maintain family responsibilities, and avoid violations that could complicate your case.

Who Can Be Accused in a Domestic Violence Case in Texas

Texas domestic violence laws cast a wider net than many people expect. These cases are not limited to spouses or romantic partners. A charge can be filed against anyone accused of harming, threatening, or causing offensive contact to a person with whom they share a defined relationship. This includes current or former spouses, dating partners, co-parents, roommates, family members by blood or marriage, and individuals who have lived together in the past.

Understanding how the law defines these relationships is critical because it affects the severity of the charge, the conditions imposed after arrest, and the long-term consequences. When you work with The Law Office of Rene A. Flores PLLC, we review not only what happened but also how the relationship is classified under Texas law. This lets us identify defenses that fit your circumstances, challenge assumptions made at the scene, and build a strategy tailored to the exact legal framework that applies to your case.

Defend Your Future with a Focused & Responsive Strategy

A domestic violence charge carries consequences that reach far beyond the courtroom. You deserve a defense that is grounded in facts, shaped by experience, and guided by someone who understands the way these cases progress in San Antonio.
