If charges are dismissed and then refiled, it is likely that a new order setting bond conditions will have to be entered. If some charges are dismissed and some are not, whether any bond conditions are still in effect will depend on the cause numbers associated with the bond conditions.

It might. You would increase your likelihood of success if you got a criminal defense lawyer involved.
If someone in Montana state signs a deffered prosecution agreement , but then travels down to Texas and gets a citation for drug paraphernalia and just pays the citation off does that violate Montana’s deffered ? Do these courts alert each other

It depends on the specific terms of the Order granted Deferred Adjudication in Montana as to whether the Texas Citation violates it. It is doubtful that the courts would alert each other.

In order for your husband to adopt, you would have to petition to terminate your children's father's parental rights. From what you described, you probably have the statutory bases to do so.
My son and his girlfriend are no longer together, however neither one is allowing me to have my grandkids for the night, even though my granddaughter (3) begs and cries to come with me.

You would have to consult with a lawyer on this one. The threshold question for the lawyer to answer would be whether you have standing to bring the lawsuit (that is, the right to bring the lawsuit asking for grandparental visitation) as permitted by the Texas Family Code. It is a fact specific... View More

If your son is 18 years older or older and you are only obligated on the debt secured by your son's truck, but are not a co-owner, it is very doubtful that you could ever be held responsible for any accidents caused by your son in it.
answered on Oct 25, 2020
Probably so, but it would be difficult for you to do by yourself with the help of an experienced Family Law attorney.

As long as you have a valid passport, have no outstanding warrants for any crime you may have committed, and France would not prevent you from flying in because of the Coronavirus, then there is no legal way that your baby's father can keep you here.

If by "comes back" you mean that the check was returned for insufficient funds, yes, you could be arrested for Theft by Check.
I’m looking at if me and my spouse qualify for common law marriage and what steps do we need to take to become a common law marriage. We have been living together for 2 years. I do live in Houston, Texas
answered on Oct 19, 2020
In Texas, in order for a common law marriage to exist for a couple, there are three requirements: 1) both parties agree to be married, 2) the two hold themselves out to the public as married, and 3) they must live together (for any amount of time). Some people prefer to document a common law... View More

It depends on the facts and how the Judge views them. If the Judge believes that him doing so was necessary to protect the girl, your son should be fine. The best approach, however, is for your son to take the initiative, hire an attorney and file an Application for Temporary Restraining Ordre... View More

If there is no Court order establishing possession of, access to or custody of the child, then each parent has equal rights to the child. As a practical matter, father may have to go to Court though to get Orders granting him visitation.
