You CAN represent yourself. That does not mean you should represent yourself. In criminal cases it is always advisable to get an attorney.

If you filed an application with the court for relief and now you want to dismiss/withdraw your application, you need to let the judge handling the issue know immediately so that they can remove it from the calendar. If you filed an application and your ex filed a cross-application, then even if... Read more »

I called the police to supervise while I got my stuff and left after a fight with my boyfriend. I failed to mention the part where I attacked him verbally and threw something at him.

Once charges have been pressed it is up to the district attorney. If you are subpoenaed you need to appear in court.
Off and about 22 head of cattle? And being verbally abused for 10 yrs?
answered on May 9, 2022
Regular verbal abuse doesn't count as domestic violence under Texas law but it can if it includes threats to inflict injury, pain, or property damage. Talk to your divorce lawyer.
answered on May 9, 2022
Yes, some of them are covered by an interstate agreement. See chapter 88 of the Texas Family Code. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/FA/htm/FA.88.htm

more info and clarification is needed.
the first thing you should do is write out a summary of all the facts so that the new lawyer you are going to contact has all the info.
there may be a conflict issue, but your lawyer who will have all the facts will be in the best position to assist you.
I'm representing myself in a domestic case and I'm unsure of what paperwork I'm supposed to file before my pre motion court date
answered on May 9, 2022
This is why you should not represent yourself and instead get an attorney. If this is a criminal matter, then you can ask the Judge to appoint an attorney to represent you----the Judge will ask you a series of questions to see if you qualify and if so, he will appoint an attorney. if this is a...

answered on May 5, 2022
Assuming what you write is accurate, then if you are in diversion then the current charge is still pending. My suggestion is that you contact the people running diversion and see if you can re-enroll. Alternatively, get an attorney to represent you on this and have him contacted the people... Read more »
The father of my children lies outright and manipulates situations to make him self look perfect, and me like an absolute awful human. He claims, for example, that I manipulated my way onto the house title.. I told him I could prove that wasn't true with our messages. The next morning, I... Read more »
answered on May 4, 2022
Depending on how the messages were sent, there may still be a way to recover these. This could be something more complicated such as a subpoena or more simple such as your phone records or looking in your archived messages. Many cell phone providers do store text messages with your monthly bill... Read more »

That is NOT true. Hire an attorney immediately before you pick up a new charge.
My friend has a no contact order against her in Citrus County, Florida from her ex boyfriend. He repeatedly found ways to contact her even though she blocked him. He eventually told her he dropped the no contact order. So she talked to him and eventually moved back in with him. Well when she found... Read more »

She should immediately report the situation to the court. If he still has her phone, but she was able to tell you about it, I suggest you contact the state attorney and the court (i.e.: the judge's judicial assistant)..
I am not going back. The relationship is over. Do I need to do anything today?
answered on May 3, 2022
Perhaps it is the lawyer in me, however, if you do not have one representing you, then I highly recommend that you seek a consultation with a lawyer in your area to discuss your situation. At said consultation, the lawyer should should be able to ask all of the questions and obtain the... Read more »

You have a problem. If you were fighting, it doesn't really matter whether you intended to hit the officer or not.
This is often and my requests are ignored. I never have any direction or answers. After expressing my concerns multiple times, my lawyer motioned to be removed. Can I get a new 12b lawyer?
answered on May 2, 2022
I assume you are referring to an 18-B lawyer, a private attorney who is assigned by the court to represent you as an indigent person. These lawyers get paid by the county and very little, on these assigned cases and will naturally spend more time on privately retained cases where they make 4 to 5... Read more »
I feel that I've been on camera for most of my life I'm 44 years old and it seems everyone I know and don't know knows my every move everywhere and believe I may have started with my parents
answered on May 1, 2022
Any claim you would have against your parents while you were a minor have long ago been extinguished by the statute of limitations. Any actions that have occurred once you turned 18 would presumably been either consented to or done in places here you did not have an expectation of privacy.... Read more »

No. Proving they have a motive to fabricate is a credibility issue that can ONLY be resolved at a trial. What you describe is something where a judge is going to need to hear and receive evidence from both of you before it can be decided.
A Motion to Dismiss is only appropriate where there... Read more »
