I have not seen any caselaw that will allow what you are seeking. Once you are not "actually confined" it is almost impossible to get habeas relief. You could litigate and appeal the issue but I do not see you being successful without a showing of signifigant or real confinment or other... Read more »
EXAMPLE:
The court ordered you to pay $2000 almost 2 years ago. According to the rules of civil procedure if you don’t pay within 10 days of when you were ordered the court can strike your pleadings. You have paid a total of $50 leaving an outstanding deposit balance of $1950. If that... Read more »

I rent a room from a lady whos son is troublesome. The police had a arrest warrant for him but he wasn't there and neither was I at the time. They were mad because no one answered the door so they took my dog off of his leash and took him.
answered on Jun 22, 2022
They took your dog and left or they simply moved your dog to a different location? To be honest, if they claimed to be afraid of the dog then they could probably get away with shooting your dog dead.
Stopped because claimed couldn’t read my license plate. Small town, same officer, seen me several previous times and had followed me 20 minutes before he seen me again to pull me over. I asked what his probable cause was and he said I looked nervous. All I was doing was putting gas in my... Read more »

Your attorney may attempt to get copies of all data and voice recordings sent to that patrol car on that particular day in hopes of discovering whether or not the officer attempted to run your plates.
My fiance was pulled over for registration being out. After running his name the officer asked him to step out of the vehicle, patted him down, but he was not arrested. The officer then asked if he could search. My fiance said no. The was no probable cause that I am aware of I'm this... Read more »

It might be possible for his attorney to seek suppression any evidence that was found as a result of the search but a good attorney will probably first need to carefully study the offense report, arrest affidavit, BodyCam recording, DashCam recording, and the log file showing the data sent back and...

If you like the apartment, take it. But if it a month-to-month tenancy, I might tell you not to move in.
Go with your gut, and stick to your decision.
You will need actual proof of discrimination to do anything on that front.
I hope it works out.
Good Luck!
In a case where they used gps on a vehicle to track person wouldn’t prosecution have to make it available for the defense in discovery ? her suppression was denied but the warrant could have shown premeditation for the traffic stop ! Cop said I was going to pull you over anyway but lied on the stand
answered on Jan 18, 2022
No, not unless it was specifically requested and improperly withheld. The prosecution only has a duty to proactively provide the defense attorney copies of any exculpatory, mitigating, or impeachment evidence. Copies of other evidence are only provided if the defense attorney first makes a timely... Read more »

An arrest which does not result in convictioin or probation will not keep your husband from purchasing and possessing a firearm.
Filed by indictment was his book in..is that a legal indictment or does the grand jury have to indict him. He also was not evaluated within 24 to 72hrs. Can I file a writ of habeas corpus
answered on Nov 29, 2021
If the person is being held on a felony offense, then, yes, the person has a right to be indicted by a grand jury before the State of Texas can prosecute him for that felony. The only exception to this rule is that an accused person in some cases may be allowed to waive (give up) his right to be... Read more »
Is that grounds for probable cause to search and during an unconsented search can they snap their fingers and get the dog to jump inside the car thru the window?
answered on Nov 25, 2021
In short, yes. You can be charged with eluding if you willfully fail or refuse to bring your vehicle to a stop; or flee or attempt to elude a pursuing police vehicle when given a visual or audible cue from the officer to stop. However, you should hire a criminal defense attorney to review the... Read more »

I have to report as if I am already on probation. I am not guilty for the charge. I did not have counsel at the time and during the arraignment, that judge didn't give it hand that out. I am innocent so I don't feel like this right anyway.
answered on Nov 22, 2021
The judge set bail conditions based on your background, criminal history, the severity of the offense, community ties, etc. Once you hire an attorney, your attorney can approach the judge to amend conditions.

So of the four people in the car, you're saying everybody had a gun of some kind except for your husband?

My Texas probation officer testified in court that he “contacted the ‘lab’ to make special drug tests, set a lower cut-off levels for certain probationers” if he thought abuse had occurred. Is that illegal??
answered on Oct 10, 2021
You should always try to stay on your probation officer's good side while at the same time remembering that the judge is actually the final authority on what to do about any alleged violations. It is important to get your own attorney if they attempt to revoke or modify your probation.
Just a thought experiment, but needed to be asked. Understandably, it would be difficult for a private citizen to file suit against the hordes of unvaxed choking the health care system, much like the novel SB8's workaround.

If drugs are found under the driver seat of a car and the driver is the owner of the car, can the passenger be charged with possession because the driver/owner refuses to take ownership? If so, how likely is a case like that to stick?

You wouldn't be asking this question if this fact situation hadn't already occurred. So you know the answer already. The passenger(P) can be charged with possession. (If the assumptions I'm making are incorrect, then disregard my answer.)
If the P is charged based solely on... Read more »
