Court Grants Defense Motion to Dismiss; Peña Aleczander Secures Major Victory

Hidalgo County, Texas — On September 10, 2025, Peña Aleczander announced that a district court granted the firm’s motion to dismiss a felony indictment against a client. The Court’s ruling concluded that the prosecution was time-barred under Texas law, bringing the matter to a close before trial.

The defense was led by Attorney Carlos Garcia of the Garcia Law Firm and Alejandra Gonzalez of Peña Aleczander. The motion was researched by Jaime Peña and Alejandra Gonzalez and drafted and argued by Ms. Gonzalez, alongside Mr. Garcia.

“This ruling reinforces a critical protection in our justice system, statutes of limitations exist to ensure fairness, reliability, and finality,” said Managing Partner Jaime Peña. “Our client lived under the cloud of an allegation long after the law permitted prosecution. Today’s decision restores his rights and underscores the importance of holding the State to its burden.”

“All results like this are earned long before any hearing,” added Ms. Gonzalez. “We front-load the work, align the record with the law, and litigate precisely. When those pieces fit, dismissal is the necessary outcome.”
