Court says they sent a ticket for not fixing a pipe on a house and I didn't show up. I never got the ticket nor do I own the property and cannot afford an attorney. My question is, don't I have to be physically served or notified? They claim they sent a letter but I never got it.
That seems like a frustrating situation. Do you have a specific question about dealing with the warrant?
At the moment he’s only being charged with aggravated kidnapping however one of the victims was murdered during the kidnapping what is the ideal sentencing if found guilty
Murder during Kidnapping is one of the ways to commit the offense of Capital Murder. So, if they actually charge him with that and win a conviction, the only possible sentences are Life Without Parole or Death. An exception is if he was age 17 or younger at the time of the offense, in which case... Read more »
Busted for under 4 gms but over 1 gram. Never been in trouble 61 yrs old
Yes, the statute of limitations provides a deadline for the State to file a criminal case. This time period varies depending on the charge, but the minimum for felony cases is 3 years from the date of offense. Call your attorney. Good luck.
I don't what to do we live in Austin Texas. It' s her first time being arrested she's 18 yrs. of age. And not knowing any information it's devastating. Not even a call. We didn't know she had lefted out to Del Rio

You can focus on finding a civil attorney for the wrongful death / personal injury case. Just let the county District Attorney's office know that your mother passed away. That office will handle the Robbery case. You don't need a private attorney to prosecute the criminal case.
Also,once arrested, they placed him in maximum security at the jail in Houston, TX. He states that there was no violence or verbal threat, etc. whatsoever. He doesn't understand why he has been placed there and OF COURSE, they won't tell him.
Thanks for your question. Since COVID, we have seem some strange things in county and other jail facilities in Texas. Although no one can answer you for sure, you should get some answers by hiring a local lawyer. Blessings!
Contact the Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid for that blessings but that may be hard to get, since defendants in a criminal setting are entitled to court appointed representation. Blessings!

In criminal cases, if a defendant is released on personal bond for multiple felony and misdemeanor charges, and if there are different bond conditions for the felonies versus the misdemeanors, what happens if the felonies get dismissed but the misdemeanors don't? Are the bond conditions which... Read more »
If charges are dismissed and then refiled, it is likely that a new order setting bond conditions will have to be entered. If some charges are dismissed and some are not, whether any bond conditions are still in effect will depend on the cause numbers associated with the bond conditions.
almost 9 months ago. They say the will drop charges. So I guess I have two questions can parole revoke him or do they have to reinstate???

Yes, very illegal. The offense of Breach of Computer Security (33.02) by accessing the account without the consent of the owner. The level of this offense depends on the amount of monetary damage caused or threatened.

Conflict of interest??
I'm not 100% clear on your description of the relationships but it is probably not a conflict. The most on-point rule is probably 1.10 of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct but also pay attention to Rule 1.06.
So with regard to 1.10, consider that a bunch of criminal... Read more »

My brother is facing 25 to life and i find it unfair that his girlfriend doesnt get any charges. She would show up at my moms doorstep the day after calling the police asking for my brother and theyd be back together until the next time an argument occured
The girlfriend would not be prosecuted for "allowing" herself to be victimized. Forgiving someone is not a crime.
If someone in Montana state signs a deffered prosecution agreement , but then travels down to Texas and gets a citation for drug paraphernalia and just pays the citation off does that violate Montana’s deffered ? Do these courts alert each other
It depends on the specific terms of the Order granted Deferred Adjudication in Montana as to whether the Texas Citation violates it. It is doubtful that the courts would alert each other.
Charge is taking wildlife without owners consent
Anyone can call the police and file an incident report on anyone else at anytime, anywhere. The police will determine if criminal charges will be filed.
