Biography

David White entered Texas Tech University School of Law with a passion for criminal law, but it was a prosecution clinic that truly defined his career path. While learning the mechanics of the courtroom, he witnessed a side of the justice system that deeply unsettled him. He saw defendants accepting pleas simply because their lawyers hadn't bothered to read the files or review bodycam footage. That experience ended any uncertainty. David knew then he would spend his career fighting on the defense side, vowing never to be the lawyer who just goes through the motions. Today, David carries that commitment into every case at his firm. His intake discipline is rigorous, and he never quotes a fee or recommends a plea without first scrutinizing the probable cause affidavit, police reports, and lab analyses. With twenty-two years of experience, David ensures that no client is ever caught in a system that values speed over justice. Every week, the firm's attorneys review every active case together to ensure every detail is covered. David built this firm to protect people from the systemic failures he once witnessed firsthand.Representative results. Matters David has led include a state jail felony charge of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger in Travis County, dismissed after the defense invalidated the State's breath-test results based on the disparity between the two readings; two felony family-violence charges in Travis County, including a second-degree felony, declined by the District Attorney's Office for insufficient evidence before indictment; a federal case in the Western District of Texas, Waco Division, where the advisory Guidelines range began at 78 months and the court imposed probation with no custodial sentence; and, with Kenneth Hines, two Bexar County first-degree felonies dismissed after the defense invoked the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, and eight of twelve Bandera County cases dismissed, including a first-degree methamphetamine delivery charge. Firm-wide, the firm's attorneys have documented 1,120 dismissals, prosecutorial rejections and grand-jury no-bills since 2020, as of July 2026, counted per charge and cause number. Every case is fact-specific, and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case.

When my family came to David White for legal advice, our family was scared, lost and unfamiliar with the "justice system". He quickly made time to meet with my family (same day) and within 20 minutes...
