It also has XXXX where the warrant number is.
If you will state the offense your trying to get information about, I can probably help with that question. The fact that that there is no code means just that, there is no code input into the person's information. The "xxx" in the warrant number generally means that there is no... Read more »
Substance
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.... Read more »

It sounds like you may have a claim for property taken and damaged. Whether that claim makes sense to pursue depends on how much was lost, and the likelihood of collecting a judgment from the person who caused the damage. I suggest you gather your documentation and consult with a lawyer in your... Read more »
I HAVE COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE BUT THERE SAYING THEY ONLY CAN PAY CLAIM TO THE REGISTERED OWNER .. I HAVE BILL OF SALE FOR VEHICLE.. WHAT CAN I DO
I don't think this question is posted in the correct forum for the most informed answers. Proving ownership of a vehicle for insurance purposes is outside the scope of criminal law. I would maybe ask a personal injury attorney for ideas because they are in the business of suing insurance... Read more »

You could ask law enforcement to continue the investigation, but you should reconsider confessing to a criminal offense on a public website.

The Declaration of Independence says to that if the Govt is corrupt we need to abolish it. So is it illegal to advocate the Declaration of Independence under 18 U.S.C. §2385?
The Declaration of Independence is an interesting historical document that explains why the colonists revolted against the rule of King George but it does not have the authority of law in the United States. In fact, between the time of the Declaration and our current Constitution a different... Read more »

Convictions cannot be expunged. The only way to remove this from your record is via pardon from the Governor.
Yes, they are. The validity of criminal charges is not determined by the suspect's beliefs about the justifications for their detention.
A motion to compel discovery was properly filed by the defendant after the withdraw of the defendant’s first attorney and before the defendant’s second attorney accepted the case. It was ignored. Defendant has not been able to review any of discovery before entering into plea bargain. Defendant... Read 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... Read more »
It's a long story but the police haven't arrested him yet but it is coming. They have released my grandson's name but not the killers. Is there anything keeping me from putting his name out to the public?
I'm very sorry for your loss. You are free to put your grandson's name out to the public so long as there is no court order prohibiting the release of his name. The question I have is why aren't you asking the police agency this question? There are many reasons why the release of the... Read more »
the guy that murdered my nephew in his apt. 12/12/20. was never arrested or charged and we are still waiting. others that have committed murder were charged the same day. we are told the DA doesnt have the case and it has to go before the grand jury. it happened in Wichita Falls TX
Murder is a felony. All felony cases must be indicted by a grand jury. Usually, law enforcement believes they have enough evidence to amount to Probable Cause for an arrest. Sometimes, they are not sure so they give the evidence and case file to the District Attorney's office. The DA is... Read more »
I'm trying to get a police report of a disturbing incident told to me by my 7 year old daughter and was told by HPD that I would need to get a judge to subpoena the records because my name is not on the report. Can you help me with this process? I need these records immediately.
You don't have a right to get a copy of the offense report, assuming there is an offense report, but you do have a right to get a copy of the incident report if one was generated. Contact the public information office of the Houston Police Department. I usually just go to police headquarters... Read more »

No attorney can answer this question without first examining the state's evidence, talking to you, and talking to the prosecutor. If you don't have an attorney then you should hire one, or ask your family for help hiring one, or at least ask the court to appoint one.
Without naming the controlled substance in the indictment
Any indictment can be challenged. Have this discussion with your attorney. Good luck.
3 people herd me on his side and just one person that was with me
In general, a suspect should only make a statement if their lawyer is actually present or advises them otherwise.
I would like to obtain the court transcripts. My father was never punished and I am wondering why? Thank you.
If this happened in Mississippi then you should re-post the question and set the location to Pascagoula instead of Killeen because the appropriate records should be located in Mississippi rather than in Texas.
The indictment you describe isn't "void", but discuss this matter with your attorney to discuss its sufficiency. Good luck.
The warrant is for theft under $100 from 2016. I have never stolen anything. The lady at the courthouse said the ticket was mailed to my old address. I never changed the address on my DL because I thought I was supposed to wait until my license expired to change the address. She also said someone... Read more »
It sounds like the Court may have considered you as having Failed to Appear. If that is the case, there is probably a warrant out for your arrest. You really should hire a lawyer to defend yourself.
Why can't I file criminal charges for theft while accused
Contrary to what we see on television, crime victims don't really FILE criminal charges. What actually happens is citizens report offensive behavior to law enforcement officers and then they decide whether or not they have probable cause to believe a crime was committed within their... Read more »

No one in this forum can answer your question with any degree of certainty. I would bet the amount of evidence in the State's possession is more than the 4 lines of information provided in your question. Accordingly, without knowing the totality of the evidence in the case, it is impossible... Read more »
