Free case review
Police found a gun in your car, your bag, or your home during a stop you didn't expect. Now you're looking at felony paperwork and a prosecutor who treats every case like a headline. The cold metal feeling of cuffs behind your back still flashes when you're driving. Lose this fight and you lose more than freedom. You lose the right to own what Texas law allowed before. You need a lawyer who knows gun statutes and search law.

Unlawful carry, felon in possession, and deadly conduct cases often start with a traffic stop or search you didn't expect. One felony weapons conviction can strip your right to own a firearm and close doors to jobs and housing you already counted on.
Hi, I'm Jim Spangler. My team challenges how guns were found, whether the stop was legal, and how charges were filed across Dallas County courts. We've handled weapons cases since 2014 with over 850 dismissals on our record.
We explain Texas gun statutes in plain English and fight for the best outcome your facts support. Request a free case review and we'll call you back, usually within one business day.
