I `pled guilty to the charge and successfully completed probation and have not been in trouble since . . This was in 2009. Am I a convicted felon? Thank you for your reply.

If you successfully completed deferred adjudication probation, you are not a convicted felon. If you were placed on straight probation, you have been convicted of a felony.
He has requested an attorney visit, his discovery, a bond reduction/ bond on his no bond and she's done none of that, she doesn't answer messages or calls, and today she just didn't show up for court is this grounds to fire her and request new counsel?
answered on Oct 26, 2023
You can make any request you desire, but in attempting not to be TOO flippant: you get what you pay for. The Court has appoint counsel and is paying for her/him, not you so it is up to the Judge on whether you receive new counsel. Good luck.

Contact Child Protective Services in your area. Good luck.
In Texas, is there a law about the disposal of controlled substances? Is it legal for a parent to throw their child’s prescription bottle with remaining pills of Adderall in a trash can, even if it’s not expired?

You get a cash bond returned after finalization of the criminal case. If a bail bond company posted bond, you will not get the premium paid to the bond company

I have been lying all our relationship. Short story is while I was in the mental hospital he found out my age and my family also found lut he was 20. I am 16 years old but been lying to him for 8 months that I am 18. We had sexual relationship. He has never hurt me or forced me to do anything.

You cannot "drop charges", and the fact you lied about your age is not a defense to the sexual assault allegation against your boyfriend. He needs an attorney. Good luck.

I am trying to file a complaint as a civilian for Domestic Assault with a magistrate but I can't find a magistrate in Lubbock to take the complaint. The victim has over 30 pictures of injuries to include in the complaint.

Short answer: yes, it is "legal" for your probation officer to request a hair follicle sample every 3 months.

More facts are needed. What's the status of the co-defendant's case? If the case is pending, no, a co-defendant cannot be "forced" to testify. If the co-defendant's case has been pled or finalized, however, a subpoena may be possible.
