What Actually Happens to a Criminal Case in Tarrant County
Tarrant County runs its criminal cases differently from the counties around it. These are the local specifics that shape a defense here.
Where your case is heard
Misdemeanors are heard in the County Criminal Courts and felonies in the district courts, both at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center at 401 W. Belknap Street.
Who prosecutes
The Tarrant County District Attorney's Office handles thousands of cases a year through units that specialize by offense type. Whatever the charge, the prosecutor across the table works that category every day.
An office minutes from Tim Curry
Our Fort Worth office at 4500 Airport Freeway is minutes from the Criminal Justice Center where your case will be heard.
The forensic evidence is local
Tarrant County runs its forensic testing through the county Medical Examiner's office. Its analyses generate underlying records, and we request and read them ourselves.
Grand jury review on felonies
Every Texas felony passes through a grand jury before indictment. A defense packet presented at that stage can end a Tarrant County case before a charge is ever filed.

All Case ResultsWhy Deandra Grant Law
What Sets This Defense Apart
Every firm says it will fight for you. What actually decides a criminal case is how well your lawyer understands the evidence.
Former Prosecutor
Deandra Grant prosecuted cases as a Dallas County Assistant DA, so she knows exactly how the State builds them.
Two Forensic Lawyer-Scientists
Deandra Grant and Douglas Huff both hold the ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist designation from the American Chemical Society.
Digital Forensics Training
Douglas Huff has completed digital forensics training, and phone extractions and device evidence get examined, not accepted.
500+ Trials Since 1994
We work only in DWI and criminal defense, and we have tried more than 500 cases to verdict.
Published Authorities
Seventeen legal books and resources, including the treatise other Texas defense attorneys keep on their desks.
We Read the Evidence
Lab reports, phone extractions, DNA: we request the underlying records and challenge them at the technical level, not the summary the State hands over.
After You Hire Us
What We Actually Do on Every Case
From the first call, in order:
- Reach the case before indictment when we can, where a grand jury packet can end it before a charge is filed
- Demand the dash, body, and surveillance video before it’s destroyed
- Pull the full discovery file under Article 39.14: offense reports, witness statements, forensic records
- Examine the forensic evidence ourselves: lab records, chain of custody, the underlying data, not the summary
- Investigate the case the police didn’t: the witnesses never interviewed, the footage never pulled
- File the motions the evidence supports, because suppression is how weak cases end
- Build your mitigation file, with clinical assessments, at no cost to you
- Try the case if the offer isn’t right, which is why the offers get better
We quote a flat fee after a consultation at no cost to you, so the investment is known before you commit.
