I paid for everything I purchased. I want to start off by stating that. I never once stole anything. These coupons are meant to be used along with our associate discount.

Paying a civil demand after the fact will not prevent criminal charges of theft or forgery. Sometimes the vendor will imply that they won't file criminal charges if you pay the civil demand... but they might anyway. Also, once it is reported to law enforcement the vendor can't dismiss...

Don't post anything else about it online. Don't talk to the police. Do have a PRIVATE conversation with a criminal defense attorney who has an office in the community where your house is located. ASAP!
The DA said no jail time, was not written in the write up signed by him, the judge during sentencing did not mention any jail time. After ruling, speaking to the count clerk, I was reading over and she told me it was the same conditions the judge just went over ( court was busy that day). I later... Read more »
That is something your criminal defense attorney should have explained. If you were trying to do it yourself without an attorney, you must always ALWAYS read the documents before signing them.

I was pulled over for failure to display my front license plate - upon stop trooper asked if I smoked weed I said yes pointed to my pipe - then got out to get a leash from the trunk for my dog so he could search my car - I didn’t really give permission he just already was on it - so after...

Once the admission of possession of an illegal substance was made, the officer had a legal right to search your car. Whether the officer was going to "bust up" your car or impound your vehicle to perform an inventory search is speculation. Call your lawyer. Good luck.
Ex. My oldest has several mental health issues and ODD. Once she moved out, it would be likely she would 'get back at us (parents)' by convincing her little sister to run away and come stay with her when things at our house were unfair or she were being punished. Could I press charges on... Read more »
The offense named Harboring a Runaway Child does NOT apply to siblings or grandparents. See: Texas Penal Code section 25.06(b). Also, the police solve their problems with ammunition. Don't use law enforcement to solve parenting problems.

was back in 2003 and i got expunged in 2010 so what do i answer on the application aldo its a government job i know that they can see it even that its expunged???
If it was expunged then you were probably not convicted. The only way to get a conviction expunged is if you are first pardoned by the Governor of Texas... and that is rare so I suspect you woulda mentioned that if it happened.
If you were arrested but the charge was dismissed then you... Read more »

The prescription and the... Read more »

Sounds like he's somehow been enrolled in SAFP, an in-custody drug rehab. If you are saying that he can't begin the program until August, then that means that there isn't an available spot and he has to wait in line, while in prison, in order to get into the program and then... Read more »

Notice with intent to offer extraneous conduct filed on my case ? I'm not sure what that means or why would the court or an attorney file that?

For example,... Read more »

Yes, a delay in prosecution of more than 2 years might give rise to a denial of due process claim by you. A due process issue is almost always very fact-driven.
