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 I say this because the way you describe your legal situation, that first court-appointed lawyer probably has withdrawn as counsel in your case and he probably feels like it would be improper for...

Say, for instance, the passenger is falling asleep when the driver decides to run someone over. Can the passenger face any charges?
answered on Nov 30, 2021
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?
answered on Nov 30, 2021
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... View More

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
answered on Nov 29, 2021
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... View 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.
answered on Nov 24, 2021
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... View 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?
answered on Nov 22, 2021
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... View More
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.
answered on Nov 22, 2021
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.
answered on Nov 21, 2021
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.... View 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... View More
answered on Nov 21, 2021
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... View 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?... View More

So long as the warrant is legal, and the search does not greatly exceed the scope of the warrant, then yes, whatever the feds find can be used as a basis of prosecution. A search which greatly exceeds the scope of a warrant would be like where the warrant orders the federal agents to search for... View More

I might be going to county jail soon, and found out that I have a warrant in Texas that's in state pickup only. They tell me it's for EPO violation, and I have a court date set here for EPO hearing too. If the warrant is for in state only will they send me to Texas for that?
answered on Nov 11, 2021
When you received your probation in Texas, you probably, as a condition of that probation, waived your right to fight extradition from another state. The question is not will Oklahoma send you to Texas, the question is will Texas come to OK to bring you back here. This question cannot be answered... View More

You say you're in treatment with the V.A. so after you were arrested, you were released from custody on bond. So if you've missed your initial court appearance, then there's likely to be a warrant out for your arrest. And if you paid a bondsman to post a surety bond to get you out of... View More
