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

It depends on the type of probation. If you are on Deferred Probation, then yes, you will be able to get your record sealed after completing the probation and a waiting period.
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.
He will have been in jail 60 days on his court date July 10th 2014. He has a public defender. Girlfriend went and signed non prosecution affidavit, state picked up charges.

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?

Yes. You should contact an appellate attorney about filing what we call a "Writ."

Yes. However, whether both are criminally liable would depend upon the facts of the case.
Was held for 24 hrs and released with no charges. Charges were filed a week later.

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.
I told the police he hit me and he tried to choke me with a belt but its not as serious as it sounds

Assault against a family member with choking/impeding breathing is a 3d degree felony punishable by 2-10 years in jail. However, it is often just charged as a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail.
If you do not wish to press charges, speak to an attorney about filing an Affidavit... View More

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.

If it is the same incident, then yes. Contact a local attorney to look into this matter for you.
