If you have been arrested or charged with a crime in Round Rock, you are facing the Williamson County criminal justice system, and it is not the same system that operates one county south in Travis County. Lance Kennedy Law defends people charged with misdemeanors and felonies throughout Williamson County, from a DWI stop on IH-35 to a felony indictment.
Defending Cases in Williamson County
Round Rock is one of the largest cities in Williamson County, but almost every adult criminal case that starts here is resolved at the county seat. Misdemeanor and felony cases are heard at the Williamson County Justice Center, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Street in Georgetown, not in Round Rock itself. Knowing the building, the docket practices, and the people in it is part of showing up prepared.
Two separate offices prosecute in Williamson County, and which one holds your file depends on the level of the charge. The Williamson County Attorney's Office prosecutes adult misdemeanors, including most first- and second-offense DWI cases, in the County Courts at Law. The Williamson County District Attorney's Office prosecutes felony cases in the District Courts. Williamson County has long carried a reputation as one of the tougher DWI and drug-enforcement jurisdictions in Central Texas. That reputation is exactly why the early decisions in a case (what you say, what you sign, what gets preserved) matter so much here.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my Round Rock criminal case be heard?
Almost all adult misdemeanor and felony cases arising in Round Rock are heard at the Williamson County Justice Center, 405 Martin Luther King Jr. Street in Georgetown, the county seat. There is no separate district-level criminal courthouse in Round Rock.
Who prosecutes DWI and misdemeanor cases in Williamson County?
The Williamson County Attorney's Office generally prosecutes adult misdemeanors, including most DWI cases, in the County Courts at Law. Felony cases are prosecuted by the Williamson County District Attorney's Office in the District Courts.
Is Williamson County really tougher on DWI than Austin?
Williamson County is widely regarded as taking a firm posture on DWI and drug cases. Every case turns on its own facts, and no attorney can guarantee an outcome, but the local environment is one reason it is worth having counsel who works these courts.
Can a Round Rock arrest be cleared from my record later?
Sometimes. Whether a case is eligible for an expunction or an order of nondisclosure depends on how it was resolved. We can review your history and explain your options. See Expunctions and Nondisclosures.
