Indictments that don’t name a substance or penalty group
I'd like to help you here but you haven't asked a question. Without any clue as to what you're trying to accomplish, any substantive attempt to give you an answer would be be more likely to confuse you than to enighten you.
You won't find a whole lot of caselaw on this... Read more »
In Blount county Tennessee on April 20, 2018 we were married. She was 44 and I was 24. We separated and I moved back to Texas on July 23, 2018 (lasted 3 months and 3 days)
That is a question of Tennessee, not Texas, law.
It also has XXXX where the warrant number is.
If you will state the offense your trying to get information about, I can probably help with that question. The fact that that there is no code means just that, there is no code input into the person's information. The "xxx" in the warrant number generally means that there is no... Read more »

My ex girlfriend approached me in early December saying she is pregnant. There is a chance that it could be mine and she says it is, but I would really like to be certain before taking further actions. What steps need to be taken on my end for a paternity test? I have a feeling she will not want to... Read more »
While hiring a lawyer and having the lawyer file a Motion to Adjudicate Paternity is the surest way to go to get your answer, if it was me, I'd ask her for paternity testing of the child (in utero) and you and then if she agrees, both of you go to a reputable testing facility (one used...

It's a long story but the police haven't arrested him yet but it is coming. They have released my grandson's name but not the killers. Is there anything keeping me from putting his name out to the public?
I'm very sorry for your loss. You are free to put your grandson's name out to the public so long as there is no court order prohibiting the release of his name. The question I have is why aren't you asking the police agency this question? There are many reasons why the release of the... Read more »
the boy is my brother in law, his parent s passed away and our home burned down. he left to live with his aunt by choice, and now wants his social and birth certificate. can I give him his stuff without going through a lawyer or court? or can he use it against me in a case of any sort?
You can give him his social security information and also his birth certificate. I would give him copies, not the originals, especially if he's still a child or if he's in any way likely to lose the originals. If there's anything on the birth certificate that might be upsetting to... Read more »
I know the date was falsified. My grandfather was the preacher but he passed away 4 years ago.
What is the problem with having an incorrect date of marriage on your license? Were you too young? What do you want to do? If you've left your husband and there's no reasonable expectation that you will get back together, sue him for divorce. If you think your marriage might be void or... Read more »
I'm trying to get a police report of a disturbing incident told to me by my 7 year old daughter and was told by HPD that I would need to get a judge to subpoena the records because my name is not on the report. Can you help me with this process? I need these records immediately.
You don't have a right to get a copy of the offense report, assuming there is an offense report, but you do have a right to get a copy of the incident report if one was generated. Contact the public information office of the Houston Police Department. I usually just go to police headquarters... Read more »

Protective orders used to commit thefts police giving criminals half property is that legal
I answered the other question before I saw you asked this one. Now you have introduced a new and important fact that makes the police inaction more understandable. If relief was granted to your "victim" because of damage caused by Hurricane Harvey, then it's very likely that the... Read more »

I had permission to begin with
So what is your question? If you're saying that you are being charged with UUMV and you had permission of the vehicle's owner to to use it, all you are saying is that you believe you have a legal defense to the charge. That's a good thing , but doesn't mean you automatically get... Read more »
Yes, they can enter without permission after stating the authority under which they are acting (the warrant) and who they are.
Wouldn't the Custody Order supercede the Protective order per 85.009 of Texas family code? A Final protective order was granted against my ex on my daughter's behalf. I was named at the time to have exclusive possession. My ex filed a motion to modify the protective order asking that my... Read more »
What your ex is saying about the order is not going to control the case obviously. However, in order to answer your question, I would have to see the actual orders, all of them, that have been entered in the case. You need to get those orders to a family lawyer quickly or you, your daughter and... Read more »
That My first time they should give me pay fine and probation??
Please be more specific. How can you say it is your "first time" if you have 2 previous theft convictions or probations? I'd say if you have 2 priors you are likely to be prosecuted fully, in the sense that you may not be offered probation at all. You should contact a qualified... Read more »
He never asked me to leave. She did and he pointed a gun at me, but he wants to press charges on me for being at his apartment complex
no, it is not.
And if its not, then what gets done about it. I'm talking about two very important facts. The date of offense being one of them. It was marked through, another date written in & not initialed. I just want to know what kind of Justice gets done when something like that happens. Does the... Read more »
Not only is is legal to mark thru and overwrite info in a document, it is encouraged.

He did not tell me when the court date was so obviously he was granted everything he asked for. Which included taking my child support away and asking me to pay $100 a month. But about 3 weeks later he turned around and gave me back my child for me to care for a full time. He's going against... Read more »
The father doesn't have to tell you the court date because when you were served with the lawsuit, there should have been a notice of hearing telling you where, when and what time the case was set for a hearing. So you should have known when the court date was because it should have been right... Read more »
Busted for under 4 gms but over 1 gram. Never been in trouble 61 yrs old
You didn't say what the dangerous drug or controlled substance was and that matters with respect to the statute of limitations. It seems that you're talking about some kind of "powder drug" like methamphetamine or cocaine or possibly heroin. Whatever the drug was, the prosecutor... Read more »
