Federal Criminal Defense
Arrest and investigation.
- Federal arrest and detention hearingAfter a federal arrest, the hearing that matters most often comes first.
- Federal investigations and target lettersIf federal agents came to your home or work, searched your property, or sent you a target letter or a grand jury subpoena, the case is already being built.

Federal charges.
- Federal drug conspiracyIn a federal drug conspiracy, the number that decides the case is usually the drug quantity, because it sets the mandatory minimum and the guideline range.
- Illegal reentry (1326)Illegal reentry after removal is one of the most charged federal crimes in Texas, and the sentence depends mostly on what happened before the last deportation.
- Alien smuggling and transporting (1324)Many smuggling and transporting cases in West Texas start the same way: a driver answers a social media post offering quick money, picks up passengers, and is stopped on I-20 or at a checkpoint.
- Federal gun chargesTexas lets most adults carry a handgun without a license, but federal law still bars many people from having any gun at all, and federal gun penalties are steep.
- Money launderingMoney laundering charges usually ride along with a drug or fraud case, but they can carry more prison time than the crime they follow.
- Wire, bank and PPP fraudFederal fraud cases are built from documents: bank records, loan applications, emails and billing data, often gathered for a year or more before anyone is charged.
- Internet crimesFederal internet cases often begin quietly, with a report from an online platform, then a search warrant early in the morning and phones and computers taken.
- Other federal casesNot every federal case is a drug or fraud case.
