You can be charged based on the officer's belief but you can only be convicted if they can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt or if you give up and take a plea. Don't "no show" a court appearance because they will doom you faster than anything.
The dad i baby sit for got his work trailer with everyone he owns work wise in it stolen last week. Over 30gs of work tools. We all know who did it and the police have video that a neighbor recorded of it happening and so does the apartments. Clear as day you can see who it is. But the cops... Read more »
He could talk to a supervisor or detective at the law enforcement agency and ask them to reconsider. He could also potentially hire a local attorney to file a civil lawsuit against the person who took the trailer.
Unless the trailer was homemade, it was probably registered and had a VIN... Read more »

The case will ALWAYS show on a criminal background check unless you are pardoned by the Governor of Texas and then file for an expunction. There is a seven-year rule for negative information on a credit report. The confusion comes from the fact that some employers use the fact that a credit check... Read more »

Prior state jail felonies won't be used for Repeat or Habitual status to increase punishment on an F3 or higher but they can be used that way to increased punishments of other state jail felonies.

For years he has subjected me to numerous depositions in which he used those to gather personal information from me. He has now filed another subpoena from out of state to further... Read more »
Consult a Missouri attorney about the possibility that you can have the person classified as a "vexatious litigant" ... I think that's what it's called in Texas anyway... There is probably some equivilant under Missouri law to describe a person who abuses the courts so perhaps... Read more »

I can't tell if you are asking about a case from Texas or Minnesota but I can tell you that Texas has a very short period after a case is resolved to start the appeals process so you should probably start calling attorneys who take criminal appeals ASAP. If it has been more than a month you... Read more »
She was drugged up and not in her right mind.
It sounds like she needs a good attorney and a lot of luck. Her parole could be revoked on the old charge and that could send her back to prison to finish her sentence on that old charge. Regarding the new charge, her sentence could be NOTHING if the prosecutor drops the case or can't prove... Read more »
Was told if the statue of limitations have run out with no charges filed..(3 yrs in tx) that the prosecutor could end up trying to make it a federal charge since the statue of limitations has run out for a state charge.
You might not want to tell the prosecutors yet, but the limitations period on aggravated assault and aggravated perjury is only TWO years. See article 12.03(d) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. I'm not aware of any federal assault statute, but they might have jurisdiction if the... Read more »
No. Texas only requires recording consent from one party to the conversation.
Post the bond. If no bond amount was set (or if it was set too high) then you could ask your criminal defense attorney to try to get it set at an amount that you can afford.
dogs ran out of garage. We tried to call them back. He put in his fence fast. I apologized. He said. I called police. Your not being neighborly please let me take them home & I will get a ticket, sorry But its 100 decrees. He said, get off my property ignorant! I was on the side walk. I was... Read more »
The police would have taken action if they had probable cause to believe that someone committed a crime like Cruelty to Animals. There is a different law for livestock because we don't eat our pets.
If there is a dispute over the ownership of the dogs then it is probably a civil... Read more »
No knock warrant took 4 people to jail cps took child for a year. They confiscated .1g yes 1/10 of a gram in an old baggie behind the shelf under a lamp. Poss of controlled sub <1g X4 15months ago
You should schedule a PRIVATE consultation with the criminal defense attorney that you (should have) hired 15 months ago and you should NOT be posting on public websites that you knew the exact location of illegal drugs behind the shelf and under the lamp. Nothing online is anonymous to a... Read more »
A 17-year-old is old enough to consent for the purposes of Sexual Assault and Indecency but if the state was really aggressive the 21-year-old could still be charged and convicted for felony Sexual Performance of a Child under section 43.25 of the Texas Penal Code.
He has motion to revoke parole & misdemeanor its non violent crime. Is there any motion or legal document I can help my husband with? What can I do to get the parole hold off him?? During this covid virus could that help him in his case 8th amendment??
Hire an attorney who focuses on parole work AND a criminal defense attorney for the trespassing case. Parole work is very different because it follows different rules so having one attorney who does both is not ideal. As they say, the jack of all trades is the master of none.
Ask your local criminal defense attorney to review the paperwork to determine if you are eligible to file for an expunction so the police and court records related to your case will not show on a criminal history background check.
It is not a crime for parents and stepparents (or someone similarly situated) to use force, but not deadly force, against a child under the age of 18 if they reasonably believe the force is necessary "to discipline the child or to safeguard or promote his welfare." However, hitting the... Read more »
Hi - I am trying to remove/hide/seal from public record - a civil temporary protective order request that was denied/dismissed at the hearing in Denton County. I have read about the motion for non-disclosure - but everything I read is specific to criminal cases - not civil. I am wanting to file... Read more »
That type of protective order involves the Texas Family Code so it is ripe for consideration for sealing under 76a and that will be more likely if the original applicant agrees... or at least doesn't oppose it.
Was allowed to move to Texas after 2 weeks of being in Texas and my second day of my new job the probation officer called me saying I needed to be in his office the next day (756 miles away) I told him I could not afford the drive and it would reflect bad on me to ask off my second day at work he...

You will be arrested and taken to jail if a law enforcement officer believes you committed a crime. In some situations, the officer must first get an arrest warrant by convincing a judge that there is "probable cause" to believe you committed a crime, but any officer worth his salt... Read more »
