Criminal Cases We Handle in Montgomery County

The Webb Firm, P.C. defends clients against a wide range of criminal charges throughout the area. Each case is different, and we treat it that way.

Our practice includes:

• Drug Charges: From simple possession to trafficking, drug cases in Texas carry consequences that extend well beyond fines and jail time, including the potential loss of your driver’s license or a professional license.
• Assault Charges: Whether the charge involves domestic violence, aggravated assault, or assault of a public servant, our attorneys work to challenge the evidence and protect your record.
• Sexual Charges: Accusations of sexual assault or online solicitation demand an aggressive, strategic defense from the moment charges are filed.
• DWI: A DWI conviction in Texas carries immediate and long-term consequences, and the evidence in these cases can often be challenged.
• Expungement: For those who have completed their cases, clearing a criminal record can open doors that a conviction has kept closed.
• Felony Charges and Misdemeanor Charges: We represent clients at all levels of the Texas criminal code, from Class B misdemeanors to first-degree felonies.
• Indecent Assault: An indecent assault charge can follow you long after your case ends, and we work to protect your rights, record, and reputation.

What It Means to Have a Former Prosecutor on Your Side

Most criminal defense attorneys understand the law. Amanda Webb understands the law and the people on the other side of the courtroom. Having served as an Assistant District Attorney (ADA) in Montgomery County, she knows how local prosecutors evaluate cases, what evidence they rely on most heavily, and where the pressure points in a prosecution tend to be.

When prosecutors sit across the table during plea negotiations, or when a case goes to trial before one of the district or county courts at law located at the Montgomery County Courthouse, our attorneys aren’t learning the room. They already know it. That familiarity with local judges, prosecutors, and courtroom culture is something that only comes with years of practice right here in this county.

Some of the ways that prosecutorial insight translates into a stronger defense include:

• Anticipating the State’s Strategy: because we know how the Montgomery County District Attorney’s office builds cases, we can begin identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s theory before the first hearing is scheduled.
• Understanding Local Charging Decisions: prosecutors have discretion in how they charge a case, and knowing how that discretion tends to be exercised here can directly influence how we advise clients about their options.
• Recognizing Procedural Vulnerabilities: from the arrest report to the evidence chain of custody, we know which procedural missteps can support a motion to suppress or a challenge to the charges themselves.
• Negotiating From a Position of Knowledge: a former prosecutor who now sits on your side of the table brings credibility and context to plea discussions that a general defense attorney simply may not have.

Amanda Webb prosecuted felony and misdemeanor cases as an ADA. Now she uses that knowledge to defend you.

What Happens After an Arrest in Montgomery County

An arrest in Montgomery County sets a legal process in motion that moves faster than most people expect. Knowing what that process looks like, and where the critical decision points are, can help you protect your rights at every stage. Here’s what you need to know:

• Booking and Bond: You will be booked into the Montgomery County Jail on Airport Road in Conroe, and a magistrate will set your bond. An attorney can argue for a lower bond amount or for favorable release conditions.
• Call a Lawyer Before You Say Anything: You have the right to an attorney. Exercise it. Anything you say during booking and processing can be used against you, and the damage done by an unguarded statement in those first hours can harm your defense.
• Charges and Court Assignment: Class A and Class B misdemeanors, including DWI, simple assault, and theft, are prosecuted in the County Courts at Law. Felony charges go to the District Courts. Both operate out of the Montgomery County Courthouse complex on North Main Street in Conroe.
• Arraignment: This is your first formal court appearance, where you enter a plea. Misdemeanor arraignments typically follow within weeks of an arrest. Felony arraignments come after a grand jury returns an indictment. Entering a not guilty plea at this stage preserves your options and gives your attorney time to build a defense.
• Pretrial Phase: Discovery, pretrial motions, and plea negotiations with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office all happen here. This is where motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence are filed, probable cause is challenged, and the case is often won or lost before a jury is ever seated.
• Trial or Resolution: Many cases resolve during the pretrial phase through a negotiated plea. When they don’t, the case proceeds to trial before a judge or jury. The decisions made in the earliest stages of your case determine what options are still available.

Every step in this process carries consequences. A bond hearing without legal representation, an arraignment where you say the wrong thing, a pretrial phase where critical motions go unfiled because nobody was watching the deadlines. Those moments can shape the outcome of your case, making early legal representation critical.

A Charge Is Not a Conviction

One of the most important things to understand when you or a family member has been arrested is that being charged with a crime is not the same as being found guilty. The prosecution carries the burden of proving every element of the alleged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. That is a high standard, and experienced criminal defense lawyers know how to hold the state to it.

In Montgomery County, our case results reflect what aggressive, knowledgeable defense work can achieve. We have secured dismissals in felony drug possession cases, felony DWI with a child passenger, assault cases, theft cases, and public intoxication charges. No attorney can promise a specific outcome, but we can promise to work tirelessly to pursue the best one available.
