I am a victim of domestic violence. I accidentally sent in the wrong photos for evidence to the district attorney. The photos were from a whole different assault. I plan on calling DA to inform. Will I get in trouble for sending in wrong photos by accident?

The only way you'd ever get in trouble over this is if the DA believes you sent in the wrong evidence on purpose and are only trying to withdraw the... Read more »

Please call my office to schedule an appointment. 972 943 8500

If you bonded out prior to the hearing the police may have not delivered your case to the district... Read more »

Probably not, because of the statute of limitations. Moder law allows child abusers to be charged at ANY time, but it wasn't always that way. And once a defendant becomes protected by limitations, later changes to the law can't remove that protection.
