This is my husband they have indicted him on assault charge and aggravated assault but that’s not what actually happened
answered on Oct 20, 2022
Contact the District Attorney's office in the county where the case against your husband was filed and ask about filing an affidavit of non-prosecution. Calling his attorney may help. Good luck.
I believed my ex was stalking me, I walked over to him in his car to ask if he was. He ignored me and put headphones on, I walked behind his car to talk to a man next to the parking spot. I asked him, "I think this guy is stalking me... what should I do?" But as I asked the question my... View More

Do not talk to police. If you do, ask for a lawyer.
No matter what, do not admit anything.
You should be OK if you have not been arrested yet.

To obtain a transcript, contact the court reporter if the court in which the case was heard. That would be the starting point for the transcript. 31 years is a long time to retain a transcript, depending on the type of case & what happened in the case (appeals, etc.). A copy of the conviction,... View More

Hello-
If you can't afford a lawyer, your best bet may be to ask the court to appoint you an attorney. Typically the court will want you to fill out some paperwork swearing that you are indigent (have no money). Very few attorneys advertise themselves as "pro bono" and I... View More

Sorry to hear about your problem.
If you have a court date set for your eviction, you need to act fast. If it is within the next few days, you can ask the judge to re-fix the court date, but they will only give you a week or two. There are some legal aid socities that help people who can... View More

The potential consequences are revocation of probation and jail. Call your PO asap. Good luck.
It's been years since this happened, but about 4 years ago I applied at HEB and was declined because of my "assault charge", is what they said. I know this has to be inaccurate because I was never charged, so I am curious what they saw on my background check?

You could be arrested for filing a false police report. You need to tell the truth and hopefully they will dismiss his criminal case,
And when arrived cop sees no visible markings never question my mom and detaining me never told me why what happened or anything just walked up behind me told me stand up turn around put your hands behind your back inside the store

The short answer is YES. I would not say that unless it were true. If the cop ID ed you, and there was an allegation by your sister, the cop had a job to do to at least talk to you. Detaining you was lawful for a very short period of time to inquire. The worst part is you do not know exactly what... View More
A family member was drinking and was mad at me. They call 911 and accused me of beating a child (not true at all, police didn't even ask to see the child). The family member then threatened to kill me on the 911 call. Isn't that considered a terroristic threat, or at least domestic... View More
answered on Jun 19, 2022
Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on the context for the threat and the INTENT of the person making the threat rather than the feelings of the person who received the threat. For example, if the person's purpose was to motivate the 911 operator to send officers to a fake emergency it would be a... View More
