Texas Dismisses All Criminal Charges Against L’Jarius Sneed

The dismissal clears his criminal record, leaving his NFL prospects shaped by a pending civil case and any league review.

Overview

  • L’Jarius Sneed’s attorney said Tuesday the State of Texas dismissed all charges, leaving the free-agent cornerback without a conviction or admission of guilt.
  • A Dallas County grand jury had narrowed the case in November 2025 to a misdemeanor count of failing to report a felony after an initial aggravated assault arrest.
  • A $1 million civil lawsuit by dealership owner Christian Nshimiyimana remains active, with a jury trial tentatively set for June 16, 2026, after a December 2024 shooting that caused property damage but no injuries.
  • Sneed is unsigned after the Tennessee Titans released him in March 2026 to create cap space, and any team interest could weigh his recent quad injuries and a possible NFL personal conduct review.
  • Surveillance footage and witness accounts placed Sneed in a rented Lamborghini near the Carrollton dealership, and associate Tekonzae Williams was indicted on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, while Sneed posted that “the weight is finally off.”
