I have no criminal record
Hire an attorney to represent you now. I think that crime is not expungeable. You need it dismissed. Do not get in any more trouble and bring enough cash to pay everything off at Court the first hearing.
There are several different Felony Thefts. Several are for varying amounts of $1K or more of property stolen.

You are under many mistaken assumptions. Hire a competent attorney now. Usually
Warrants issue after an arrest, and if not disposed of at General Sessions, result in an Indictment. If you do not show up to Court, a Capias (for your body) issues. Your lawyer can give you the Indictment... Read more »
Charged with underage possession and consumption
Does she have TNDL? If so, yes she can drive in TN, until VA sends some notice to
TN DOS, which might have some unusual consequences with her being an underage drinker. If a VA DDL, no.
Call the Court Clerk, and maybe the Jail, and ask.
I'm not sure if I have been subpoenaed by the state or by the defendant.
It depends on what happened. You may wish to consult an attorney and tell him what happened. You might have criminal liability and need to plead the Fifth Amendment.
No you do not unless you are trying to enter a restricted facility. But you need to be respectful to the LEO. Politely inform him that you are not talking to him about anything. If he arrests you or gives you a Citation, then cooperate without talking to him.
Patient has diagnois of cognative mental disorder and was admitted due to a fall resulting in an additional head injury.
A Tennessee attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It would be a firm that handles personal injury, and possibly med mal if the incident was related to the patient's care. It's difficult to say with exactness, based on this brief description. Good luck
The daughter later decides to not prosecute the defendant (her mother), but once she gets to the court to waive prosecution she is informed that the State has picked up the charge for no other reason but cruel and unusual punishment.
If this legal in general sessions court of Tennessee?
It is always the State's Case, not the victim's. The Mother may get indicted, unless she has already plead guilty. The victim will be subpoenaed to the Grand Jury. If her allegations were false, she should hire an attorney for advice.

Call the PO today, or better, go see him. In fact I would make the Probation appointment over the treatment. Mental treatment will not be as important as not going to jail.
TCA § 39-14-406 might apply to trespass destruction of a fence or gate... Survey monuments might involve Vandalism. No specific survey marker destruction crime exists in TN except State Boundaries. Survey Markers usually involve more than one landowner, so monuments are usually on common... Read more »
Yes...That is very easily an Assault.
I think I might have outstanding warrants for my arrest but could also be paranoid. I don't have a criminal record and have never been arrested. I don't notice suspicious activity I see cops all the time and they don't notice me. I just want to know if there is a way to find out for sure
Usually the Sheriff will not tell you there are outstanding warrants until they are executed upon your body. Sometimes a good lawyer can represent you and find out about them when he turns you in at Court, with a bailsbondsman waiting around.
Was a plea bargain in 2013 than landed my this conviction. Is this expungeable???
I would talk to TBI or an attorney.
I was in the shower and my husband was asleep when police arrived. They said they got a call for a welfare check. They noticed I had marks on my neck( spotty from shower). They questioned me and I tried to explain but they asked to speak to my daughter who is 5 and she started talking about us... Read more »
I would hire an attorney immediately.
It parked after I had parked, the officer called it no fault
Tennessee is a Comparative Negligence State. So if the Court finds you over 50 % negligent, then some damage award will be adjudged against you. It could go the other way, but you are talking about litigating with the Federal Government.
The affidavit was sworn to a different individual and the police officer used white out to change it after its issuance and execution to reflect my name.. The affidavit only contains a conclusory statement without presenting any facts.. The search warrant does not particularly describe the person... Read more »
You have done a pretty good job of looking into the SW. There are Statutes and Criminal Court Rules which control here. But it is usually meaningless until there is an Arrest Warrant or Indictment. Upon instigation of criminal charges, your lawyer needs to ask to suppress any evidence generated... Read more »
