Do NOT talk to the police without a lawyer. Even if you think you have great proof that you are innocent, they will lie to you and get you talking, etc.
Call a good lawyer and admit nothing. The boys may have made statements to CPS already. Invoke your right to an attorney.

The good news is that seizure of your car is a civil matter. You should have received paperwork and a NOTICE of seizure of your property. That will have a case number and a court reference, so you can make your claim and get your car back.
The bad news is that there are strict time limits... View More

I think you would be better off dealing with the second charge ASAP. That is because the judge on case #2 might make your new sentence "concurrent" with the matter you are currently serving.
Write a letter to the DA, your lawyer, and your new judge ASAP, to get things moving.
Good Luck!

You can remove the interlock. I would send the bill to my Ex.
You have no obligations to him or the court. Therefore, you can remove the device from YOUR vehicle.
Your Ex needs to update the court and/or the probation department about his vehicle status.
I hope this helps.

Ex-husband has a felony case with the Harris County DA’s Office and the next setting has been set for plea. Does this mean that he will formally plead to the charge or does it mean something in regards to a plea agreement?

Set for a plea can mean a lot of things. It usually means that a plea offer was given to the defendant, and the next court date is the deadline to accept or reject the offer. It can also mean that a plea agreement has been made and the formal guilty plea will occur on the date set.

As long as the installation of the generator does not violate any other rules, you should be OK. I would be concerned with where you place the generator. Most HOAs require you to have any mechanical systems in the back-yard or otherwise placed out of view from the front.
