The Law Offices of John Green sits on Edward Gary Street, a short walk from campus. Texas State students come in with DWI paper, an MIP from a weekend, a conduct letter from the university, a wreck on the interstate, or an old arrest that will not stay off a background check. The office is built for that work. It is not a campus mill that treats every Bobcat as the same cheap file.
A student charge in San Marcos usually has two calendars. One is the Hays County docket. The other, when the university is involved, is student conduct. They do not wait for each other. The first conversation is about what landed on which desk, and what has to be answered first.
Criminal court in Hays County
A San Marcos DWI, an MIP, underage DWI, public intoxication, or fake ID, a fight written up as assault — those cases are prosecuted in Hays County. The courthouse is in San Marcos. John Green is a former prosecutor. The work is to read how the state built the file and explain it in sentences you can use, including what it may mean for a semester, housing, or a first job.
Student conduct is a separate track
A police report can trigger the Texas State Code of Student Conduct even when the criminal case is still getting started. Deadlines on that side are real. This office looks at both tracks so you are not answering one system in a way that blindsides the other.
Wrecks and records
Students get hit on I-35, on the frontage, and in the ordinary intersections around campus. The injury claim is a medical file and a wreck report, not a slogan. Separately, an old arrest — including one that never became a conviction — can follow you into internships and housing. If the paper qualifies, an expunction or a nondisclosure may be available. Call and we look at the file. The word is expunction.
Parents who call usually want two things: a realistic assessment, and an office that will still be here when the next setting is posted. That is the work.
