He may be asked to enter a plea, or answer information pertaining to whether he's interested in making a plea deal. If he has a lawyer, his lawyer should handle all of that and guide him through it. If he doesn't, he sorely needs a lawyer. Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (in a... View More

I'm of sound mind. I need legal help, not a doctor. I'm guessing an FBI Fusion Center may be aware of what's going on and may cooperate with an attorney. Thus far, I've been ignored by law enforcement.

He was arrested in September, 2024 for a parole violation. What does that mean? State of Texas. The charge was possession of hash
answered on Nov 4, 2024
A person cannot violate the terms of a parole that he or she was not on. You should get a copy of those documents right away and send them to the attorney handling his case. If you do not have an attorney handling his case, my suggesting would be to find him an attorney and get this straightened... View More

The school police officer reviewed the video and stated that it was consensual. Both children received the same punishment of 45 days at the LEO school. The girls mother filed a charge for rape.
answered on Oct 18, 2024
It depends. The age of consent in Texas is 16. Sexual intercourse (and certain other sex acts) involving someone under the age of 16 is by definition non-consensual even if that person enthusiastically participates or initiated it. This is called statutory rape.
If there is an age gap no... View More
I was fasley charged in Lubbock tx. The charge was dropped months later. During a hearing to proceed pro se in my case, a sitting district attorney stated that my case did not fit the criteria of the charge i was charged with

Not typically. But if you can prove that the district attorney who filed the charges personally knew you prior to filing the charges and was acting out of personal animus against you, you may have a potential claim. For example, if you are dating the DA's ex-wife and he made up the charge... View More
