Will it be enough to bring proof of the prescriptions to court to have this dismissed? Will a court appointed attorney be able to handle?
Of course his court-appointed attorney can handle this. And it's considerably more complicated than your son just bringing proof of the Rxs to court. Have him turn over those prescriptions to his attorney. I hope you get on top of this very quickly because it's possible that the lawyer... Read more »
About myself: Besides a dismissal back in 2006 for Driving with Invalid License, and now this case, I have no other criminal history.
Recently, I was arrested due to having a warrant for one charge that was due to 2 hot checks I supposedly wrote at HEB, back in 2018.
I was confused... Read more »
Generally, a person has to pead guilty or "no contest" (which is the same thing as pleading guilty) in order for them to be placed on probation. And if you pleaded either of those, I'd say you are really out of luck. Then I would ask why you would do such a thing knowing you were not... Read more »

You know what to do, hire a good criminal lawyer. If you cannot afford to hire a lawyer, ask the court to appoint one for him. This is a no-brainer!
My husband was arrested for a felony assault charge from his ex wife. The alleged assault was said to have happened when my husband supposedly closed a car door on his ex wife leg. This happened in 2011 right after their split. The alleged assault never happened and because of lack of evidence on... Read more »
An arrest which does not result in convictioin or probation will not keep your husband from purchasing and possessing a firearm.
My husband has been in jail since June on a poss. of a controlled substance of meth over 1<4. His court appointed lawyer has not seen him at all but he has had an arraignment and they set a pre-trial but the day of the set date they reset it and when I call to see whats going on they say they...

Has your husband been indicted? Most DAs in Texas will not take a drug possession case to the grand jury to seek an indictment until they have received a chemical analysis forensic report of the substance from the DPS forensic lab or other private lab under contract to provide such analyses. These... Read more »
In my property can I press charges against them for assault and the cops said I can’t arrested them because you invited them but I only invited one person
I agree with Mr. Dones answer from last week. You seem to have issued a limited challenge to one person which would generally give that person the defense of consent in a criminal case. However, as Mr. Dones pointed out the other two assailants had no such fight challenge from you that could... Read more »
Well, clearly, they don't have to match each other word for word. Complaint is usually the longest document of the three and contains more factual data than is required in an indictment or a judgment of conviction. The complaint certainly has to contain facts that could lead to an indictmen,... Read more »

I think you should send your money to me. I guarantee I am a better woman than she is- any day! (Actually, I am an old man. but "she" probably is ,too.
Okay, this is definitely a scam. It's a variation of the Nigerian royalty scam that's been around for years. Do NOT... Read more »
You email judge but he refuses to reassign another one. Calling the BAR doesnt help my case, n wld only piss them off. Im not looking to file a complaint, i just want a lawyer who's not disgruntled.

Well you actually seem to be complaining about someone who probably isn't even your lawyer anymore. I say this because the way you describe your legal situation, that first court-appointed lawyer probably has withdrawn as counsel in your case and he probably feels like it would be improper for...

I claimed they had mold, they told me I had to get a mental evaluation or I'd be evicted I knew I wasn't crazy refused and was evicted. Shortly later I was let back into the residence. For about another year I was called crazy this and that so went to FL. For mental rehabilitation. So... Read more »
Well, here's the problem. You haven't asked a question or sought any legal analysis from us. I really don't like to assume that I can read your mind and determine what is is you want to know. However, if you want to know whether you can be kicked out of this residence, then the... Read more »
Say, for instance, the passenger is falling asleep when the driver decides to run someone over. Can the passenger face any charges?
Yes, it's possible. For example, if after the hit and run the passenger directs the driver to a spot where driver can hide his vehicle and have it repaired show the damage won't show. Passenger can be charged.
If someone commits a hit and run, with a passenger in the car, and the victim dies due the injuries, can the passenger have charges pressed against them?
Whether the passenger can be charged depends, as in all cases, on the facts of the case. But yes, this can happen. Example: Passenger encourages driver to race the other car and when driver does this, his car hits the other car in the rear. Driver wants to stop and help the other person, but... Read more »

Please ask a question, otherwise there is no way to answer your submission.
Filed by indictment was his book in..is that a legal indictment or does the grand jury have to indict him. He also was not evaluated within 24 to 72hrs. Can I file a writ of habeas corpus
If the person is being held on a felony offense, then, yes, the person has a right to be indicted by a grand jury before the State of Texas can prosecute him for that felony. The only exception to this rule is that an accused person in some cases may be allowed to waive (give up) his right to be... Read more »
Leave my house I noticed that I was being watched. I got rid of everything I had. But there still here. I don't know what to do. This has never happened.
Of course you know what to do. If you got rid of evidence that you were breaking the law, there's probably no way you're going to get in trouble with respect to that evidence. I'm guessing it was dope of some kind. Unfortunately you broke the law by destroying the evidence. It's... Read more »
If your identity was used to file a liability claim and theres an account for compensation in your name, how do you get the claim file for law enforcement when the company is refusing to cooperate?
You shouldn't have to get the claim file yourself. In fact, you probably should not get it yourself. What you do is report the theft of your identity to your local law enforcement agency, giving them all the facts which you are aware of. It is law enforcement's job to follow up on your...

I have to report as if I am already on probation. I am not guilty for the charge. I did not have counsel at the time and during the arraignment, that judge didn't give it hand that out. I am innocent so I don't feel like this right anyway.
You already agreed to the terms of the bail when you bonded out of jail. If you think you shouldn't be required to comply with a particular condition of bond, your attorney can approach the judge in your case and request that the terms and conditions be modified. Good luck.
Were spoken which drew the att. of loss prevention. $94 dollars of items had missed being scanned and even though I was willing to cover what was missing they charged us both with theft.
Although you haven't asked a question, maybe I can provide you the answer you're looking for. In Texas, theft of property valued at less than $100 is a Class C misemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $500. There is no jail time possible as a sentence for a Class C offense.... Read more »
The DA said that the money wasn’t received in time and gave it back. They confiscated and charged me for 4-200gm penalty group 1 and 4-200gm penalty group 2. I didn’t not ask for the money back but the police came and gave me this check. I’m suspicious that they would just give money back... Read more »
I think you should re-submit your question and add some facts. You need to specify how much money was returned. It's not unusual for seized money to be returned to the person from whom it was taken, especially if the amount is relatively small. The larger the amount seized, the less likely the... Read more »
What would happen if I signed a plea deal because the prosecutor was threatening to add a drug-free school zone enhancement to my charge if I didn't? But, later it was discovered by my attorney that I wasn't actually in a drug-free school zone. Would I be able to withdraw my plea deal?... Read more »
This is a very interesting situation you're asking about. Let me see if I can answer some of your questions and maybe shed some light on the questions I can't give a definitive answer on.
First, would you be able to withdraw your plea based on a prosecutor's threat that later... Read more »
