First, I am not a Texas attorney. That being said, generally there is no evidence presented at the appellate level. The case proceeds from a final judgment of the trial court and whatever evidence was presented there.

First, I am not a Texas lawyer. But I believe that the initial procedure you should explore is a motion before the trial court to nullify your plea. I would assume that in the questions you were asked before entering that plea, is that you have given up any right to appeal. So the first thing is to... View More

If you had an attorney who represented you at your hearing then you can ask who they recommend. If you were not represented or your attorney was not local call to a few attorneys in your area that handle SSD cases. If they don’t handle federal work, they know who does that type of work in your... View More

No, there are not any offenses defined in the Texas Rules of Evidence. That said, Tampering with a Governmental Record is an offense defined in the Texas Penal Code.

The conviction was affirmed on appeal. See: https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/sixth-court-of-appeals/2013/06-13-00044-cr.html

No, the best time to dispute the facts of the case is before you are convicted or take a plea.

This doesn't slant the way you seem to think it does. The rule says: "If the defendant is the appellant, the record must include the trial court’s certification of the defendant’s right of appeal [...] The appeal must be dismissed if a certification that shows the... View More

First, and eviction IS a civil matter. (Everything that is not criminal is a civil matter.) Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way to know what actions are necessary without reviewing the whole file to figure out what the problem(s) is. Frequently when a judge says that there is "more...

If this is a continuation of the earlier question about a bond forfeiture then your boyfriend's criminal defense attorney will probably explain the situation in hopes of convincing the judge to either reinstate the bond and recall the warrant or perhaps grant a personal bond instead.

Don't rely on a bondsman. Only an attorney can represent your boyfriend in court. He should hire a criminal defense attorney.

No, it gets dismissed because the JP has no jurisdiction.

You should probably reach out to a Texas parole specialist, not just a criminal defense attorney who dabbles in parole cases. Dealing with the parole board is very different than dealing with a trial court judge, and this could require some really specialized insight so you should really consult... View More

I cannot answer this question, because the question is too vague. Sorry.

I'd like to help you here but you haven't asked a question. Without any clue as to what you're trying to accomplish, any substantive attempt to give you an answer would be be more likely to confuse you than to enighten you.

You won't find a whole lot of caselaw on this... View More

A possession of controlled substance indictment which does not specify the controlled substance involved is subject to being "quashed" when and if the defendant files such a motion. To the extent that the court has jurisdiction to quash the indictment, it doew have jurisdiction (i.e.... View More

Simply filing a motion doesn't help and there is a decent chance the judge isn't even aware of it. You've got to serve it on the prosecution and ask the judge for a ruling on it. Unless it is trivial the judge would probably want you to set it for a hearing. If it is trivial then... View More

Not in this forum. If you want someone to review the order and interpret it for you, or appeal it, you'll have to consult an attorney. This forum is for general information.

The quoted text isn't the law. Rather, it is someone's interpretation of the law, and it is incomplete because the law also includes people who are parents of the same child regardless of marriage or dating history.

In addition to Texas law, you need to be 100% certain that you... View More

Thanks for your question. I have some difficulty understanding precisely what you are asking. So with that having been said I will answer as best I can. It looks as if neither doctor said you are at MMI? If that is correct then you will stay on TIBs until you reach MMI as certified by qualified... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. As a GENERAL matter, there are attorneys who specialize in the narrow field of professional license defense. As a starting point, you might investigate the current status of your license on your own to save money. If your... View More
