Against racist
Your question is very broad. More facts are needed
I went into the convenient store and they said I needed a mask. I pulled my shirt up over my face and they said no, it had to be a mask. Then he said I'll sell you a mask while I'm not wearing a mask, but that he wouldn't sell me cigarettes unless I had a mask
A Texas attorney could advise best, as state law issues could apply. But your post remains open for three weeks. It seems like it would be difficult to successfully bring such a case because of the compelling need to protect public health. But you could check with another attorney for their opinion...

I have to have a mammogram and the imaging center is asking people to wait in their car to be called to come inside. I feel that is ridiculous and Texas Health has that policy. If I can't get them to stop that practice I will have to change my whole health care provider. Can I sue them over... Read more »
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. Many facilities are taking similar measures in these difficult times. They may not be explicitly telling people to wait in their cars, but they take in only limited numbers of the public into doctor waiting rooms, post... Read more »
12.44 (b) it was reduced to a class A misdemeanor. But when I look at my records and charges it shows felony disposed instead of misdemeanor. Is this right? Should it really say felony disposed or misdemeanor? Please help.
The record is correct. When a prosecutor decides to reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor under Artie 12.44 (b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the record will reflect the original felony charge but the final disposition will show the case was reduced to a misdemeanor. Talk with an attorney... Read more »
They need a warrant if they do not have probable cause to search. The police can search a car without a warrant if they develop probable cause to believe that a search will yield illegal contraband. For example, if police smell marijuana in a car, they have probable cause to search it and can do... Read more »

Ha ha, NO! What about homework? I don't mean to imply that an aggressive cop won't make an arrest. Cops do stupid things all the time. But any decent prosecutor should refuse that sort of case and, if they didn't, any decent criminal defense attorney would probably destroy it.... Read more »
I was convicted under Texas Penal Code 33.021(b) in 2015, after it was declared unconstitutional in October 2013. I have already sought relief, and the DA has conceded the writ. I will be exonerated. We're waiting on the Court of Criminal Appeals to do their thing. My lawyer wants to pursue a... Read more »
Your lawyer is in a better position to evaluate that since he or she knows all of the details of your case.
I believe affidavit turned into be filled for records is different than the one the judge signed and kept for his records
If you mean affidavits of probable cause upon which is the basis to issue an arrest warrant or search warrant, in Texas the Judge is supposed to keep those or file them in a place that they are publicly available since they are matters of public record.
A warrant may be issued when there is probable cause to believe an offense occurred, so whether or not anyone pressed charges is irrelevant to the legality of a warrant. In a domestic assault case, the term "pressing charges" means the witness is helping the police and/or prosecutor... Read more »
I'm a teacher and want to know for an adult like myself, not a student or child.
An adult wouldn't be in violation of the Unlawful Carry law for a location restricted knife under Texas Penal Code 46.02(a-4) but could be convicted of carrying in a Prohibited Place under Penal Code 46.03(a)(1) for having a knife with a blade over five and one-half inches at school (or in a...

I only knew we were talking about 1 light light when cop was talking about another
A Judge will find you guilty if she/he believes the State has proven the allegations against you beyond a reasonable doubt.
Will they have alternative choices? What about community service?
If the person can afford it they should hire a local traffic ticket attorney and try to get a deferral program that doesn't result in a conviction.
Support needed for the upholding of the constitution
Because of the complexity of your research, it could be difficult for a Texas attorney to advise in the brief format of this Q & A Board. That could be why the post remains open for three weeks. One option is to contact Texas attorneys directly. Although many offices are closed or not seeing... Read more »

This question is marked as both Georgia and Texas. The exact rules that apply will depend on the location of the house.

A Texas attorney is best qualified to answer this question, but you await an answer for three weeks.

My wife payed of the account with another lawyer firm but this lawyer never did the research and froze my bank account how long will it take for him to release my bank account and give us our money back. Also can I file a suite against him
If you owed no money on the debt at the time the bank account was seized, you may have a claim for wrongful execution against the lawyer.
I am not sure of your exact question. Were you charged with a criminal offense?
