Asked in Domestic Violence for Texas

Q: My husband blacked out after drinking, woke up in rage and pushed me by my throat to fridge.

I called cops. And said that he choked me. I did not do report or let them take pics of any Injuries, and they didn't speak to him that night. we've been together 17yrs, have 7 kids and never has this happen. Alchol induced psychosis possibly. We think The cops are trying to get him on 3rd degree felony for strangulation.. which didn't. happen. How would we find out if they are trying to build a case. How can we get it dismissed. He will lose his job, we will lose our house, they are making something out of nothing. That night I called just to safely get away from the house without further incident. Now my family is in jeopardy overa 1 time thing. He has not drank a drop since and has woke up in tears from what I told him. He doesn't remember any of it.
