Generally, Texas will not issue you a license if another state (Oklahoma) has your license suspended. In order to get a normal driver's license here, everything needs to be resolved in Oklahoma.
If that's not possible right now, you can get what we call an Occupational... View More

However, if you are on straight probation, then no, you will generally not be able to seal your record. The only... View More

No. Once you have been found guilty and convicted, it is a matter of agreeing on a sentence or taking it to the judge/jury.
In order to accept a plea offer prior to being found guilty, then yes, you must admit guilt by pleading "guilty."

Yes. If the deal is not accepted, then the defendant may withdrawal his plea of "Guilty."

That depends. If you were just there and not involved in the theft, then you shouldn't be held criminally liable.

Not likely. However, he may be able to get released or have his bond reduced if he is not indicted within 90 days.
charged. I had stronge evidence proving that the DA was incorrect with there story. Is there a law stating that your counsel has to advise you of such appeal?

This question should be asked to a Missouri attorney. DWI laws vary greatly between states and Missouri law will apply.

I would strongly suggest hiring an attorney. A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail, so it should not be taken lightly.

Yes. If this is pertaining to a new criminal case, then a background check will be ran through the FBI database and priors will show up.

Not likely. It is a criminal offense to make a false statement to police, but short of that, an offense probably wasn't committed.

Yes, assuming there are no active suspensions in Arizona. If there are, then he can apply for an Occupational Driver's License while he is trying to clear up the Arizona suspensions.

Failure to have your Miranda rights read to you means that any statements or confessions you made while in custody cannot be used against you. Whether the case is dismissed will depend on if there is any other evidence besides your confession that can be used against you (i.e., witnesses). If so,... View More

You must have your Miranda rights read to you prior to any custodial interrogation. This means that, regardless of your criminal history, after an arrest you must be read and waive your Miranda rights before being questioned. If this isn't done, then your statements cannot later be used against you.
