I already went to court but I did not have a lawyer. I was under the assumption that the evictions laws were strict. But there are a few things I feel were over looked or I just don’t really know or understand the process

Yes, you can appeal by filing a bond, making a cash deposit, or filing a Statement of Inability to Afford Payment of Court Costs with the justice court within 5 days after the judgment of eviction is signed.
The eviction will then be heard de novo by the court court on an expedited basis.... View More

I have not seen any caselaw that will allow what you are seeking. Once you are not "actually confined" it is almost impossible to get habeas relief. You could litigate and appeal the issue but I do not see you being successful without a showing of signifigant or real confinment or other... View More

Usually, no. There is no "compensation" just because you have succeeded in your appeal. But there may be other avenues for damages or compensation, upon the dismissal of your case based on your success on appeal. But I'm not a Texas attorney.
Yes I want to recover this money, I need representation. It will have to be on contingency but if recovered I would pay more to the attorney that took the case than 33% much more.

There is a short time-limit for filing a Federal Appeal. What's worse, in some instances you need to file a Motion for a New trial, before seeking an appeal. There is a lot to consider. But step one is usually, file a notice of appeal with the Court Clerk and check to see if you need to file... View More

The best time to fight criminal charges is BEFORE you take a plea. The only way to get Deferred Adjudication is to enter a plea of Guilty or No Contest (which is the same as Guilty with regard to a criminal case anyway.) In almost all cases, a defendant only has 30 days to start the appeals... View More

I am confused a bit by your question.
Anyway, If there is a warrant out for anyone, it stays a warrant until it is dismissed or it is executed (by arrest).
If it was made unlawfully, it can be quashed, but that may take a while, and quashing it would require you to go to court to... View More

If you succeed on appeal, the appeal court will issue an order detailing the next steps: remand, remand with instructions, reversal, dismissal, etc. The trial court will have to follow that order,
Unlawful arrest, Unlawful search, Right to an attorney, and in handcuffs on front of a jury.
answered on Jun 22, 2023
Yes, if you were found guilty by a jury following an unlawful arrest and unlawful search, and were denied your right to have an attorney, you may have valid grounds for a successful appeal.
That’s all
