Burnet County Criminal Defense Attorney
Facing criminal charges in Burnet County? Our lead attorney is a former police officer who knows exactly how law enforcement builds cases — because he used to build them himself. Now he uses that knowledge to defend you.
Criminal Defense for Burnet County from a Former Law Enforcement Officer
Most criminal defense attorneys learned the justice system from textbooks. The lead attorney at Texas Defense Team learned it from the other side of the badge. As a former police officer and military veteran, Steve Bowling spent years in law enforcement before becoming a defense attorney. He knows how officers in Burnet County and across Texas are trained to build probable cause, collect evidence, and build their cases — and he knows where the cracks in that process tend to appear.
When you’re facing criminal charges in Burnet County, that perspective changes everything. Your attorney doesn’t have to guess how the prosecution’s case was assembled — he already knows, because he used to assemble cases just like it.

Texas Defense Team handles the full range of criminal charges in Burnet County courts. Every case starts with a free, confidential consultation.
DWI / DUI Defense
Texas DWI arrests rely on field sobriety tests, breathalyzers, and blood draws — all of which can be challenged. A former officer knows exactly how these are supposed to be conducted and where they go wrong.
Drug Charges
From simple possession to manufacturing and trafficking. The difference between a misdemeanor and a felony often comes down to how the search was conducted and whether your rights were violated.
Assault & Family Violence
Assault charges carry serious consequences in Burnet County — especially family violence allegations, which trigger enhanced penalties and protective orders that cannot be expunged.
Theft & Property Crimes
Shoplifting to burglary, robbery to fraud. Theft charges in Texas scale dramatically by dollar amount. The right defense strategy depends on the specific facts and the Burnet County court system.
Weapons Charges
Texas gun laws are evolving. Unlawful carry, felon in possession, and weapons charges in connection with other offenses all require an attorney who understands both state and federal firearms law.
Probation Violations & Warrants
A probation violation in Burnet County can mean revocation and prison time. If you have an outstanding warrant, handling it proactively with an attorney gives you the best chance of staying out of custody.
Why Choose Texas Defense Team for Your Burnet County Case
Former Law Enforcement Background
Our lead attorney didn’t just study criminal law — he lived it from the other side. Years in law enforcement and military service built an understanding of police procedure, evidence collection, and the prosecutorial mindset that simply cannot come from a textbook. When your attorney has personally conducted traffic stops, executed search warrants, and testified in court as an officer, they spot problems in the prosecution’s case that other attorneys miss.
