These incidents must go back to the mid-1990's--so did not impact my ability to get licensed in TX; but I'll be travelling regularly to OK--and don't relish an unpleasant surprise from a routine traffic stop.
Contact attorneys from OK and MD... ideally in the same counties where you most likely accused of a crime.
The person accusing me is my friend Who has now said he has submitted the police report
Who is accusing you?
Do not make any statements to the police without an attorney?
Otherwise, ignore. Remember sticks and stones
Time served equals a conviction, and the only way a conviction can be removed from your record is via pardon from the Governor.
Please
Yes you can.
I cant be deprived of my rights or disfranchised in any way. Then how is it that I can be jailed/fined and have my property taken and be treated like a criminal for carrying a firearm (sidearm) with out a license?
The same thing can be said about any other license that isnt commercial.
Do you drive without a license? Hunt without a license? Have you been listening to someone who is practicing law without a license?
My neighbor took my jerrican without my consent. she didn't return it. I entered, picked it from her residence, but she charged me for trespass. what should I do?
You should hire a lawyer to defend your case. You were fortunate that you were not charged with a more serious crime. I hope you did not enter any residence or building bc the DA could modify your charges to burglary of a building. I am sorry to say people seldom have the right to self help, just... Read more »
I am a senior citizen. I have had a cat since she was a small kitten. She is about nine years old. she is an outside, only coming in to eat. Very friendly I had her spayed, and vaccinated and micro-chipped in 2012. For the past year and a half, a neighbor has held her captive and she returned home... Read more »
Regardless, what is their remedy? Sue you?
I doubt anything will happen.
Car and he doesn’t do drugs he went to court for a warrant and was then released his court date was for 10/10 so he was told he would get his property at the court house but was rearrested for a different charge which he couldn’t have done because he was just released
I'm not clear on the question but the answer is to hire a criminal defense attorney, preferably one with an office in the same town as the courthouse.
What are they for ....
How can results be shared
Refraining from the use of intoxicating substances is typically a condition of probation.
How long can someone remain detained on a probation provocation in a county jail facility after a judgement of "time served", "to be released" on a 9 month sentence with a 13 month credit?
The statute of limitations specifies the maximum allowable delay between the commission of a crime and the filing of formal charges. For example, since the limitations period is 2 years for misdemeanors the state can't now file a new misdemeanor criminal case against you for something you did more... Read more »
This is question of store policy and not one of law
My bf was charged for domestic violence because he grabbed my arm during a argument but nothing else happened besides verbal interaction between us both.
It depends on the definition of violence.
You should communicate with his lawyer

I have read it chapter 49 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure and my opinion is that a JP does have the authority to reopen an inquest if a 'credible person' has new information and the outcome may be different if re investigated. Then he may reopen the inquest and take the... Read more »
After reading chapter 49 and making note of the specific statutes that seem most applicable, the next step is to search the county law library (or WestLaw or LexisNexis) for published opinions from the appeals courts that reference those exact statutes. Those opinions are important because the law... Read more »
Thanks for your question and I am sorry for the situation. IF YOU HAVE THE RESOURCES TO ASSIST HIM WITH BAIL, that would be the most immediate help. Hiring a lawyer would also be in his best interest. If you speak with him from the jail remind him telephone calls are subject to being recorded and... Read more »

The arresting officer was called to to the school by the principle that called the officers cell phone. The cell phone call is considered personal, and not an official police call. I was arrested and charged, and the case was used at jury trial as evidence for conviction in another case.... Read more »
The type of phone used to call police is immaterial to prosecution.
Based on your question, this sounds like the case (not the Judge) is being transferred to a different court because there was already a case pending against the defendant in that other court. The idea is to put all of the person's cases together.
Judges don't get "transferred" they sit... Read more »
At some point he will appear before a Judge or Magistrate. In most counties, they are set up to ask the person if they have sufficient financial ability to retain counsel or if they are requesting court appointed counsel.

In fact I prefer it to avoid any of the issues. (Been told stories but never thought I'd be one.) After presenting my receipt I was detained by employees due to a discrepancy. Date was incorrect. I had no problem with them doing what they needed to clarify this issue. After what seemed like 30+... Read more »
