I received 1 year probation community supervision. It was around 2015 when all this happened. Am i able to own a firearm after the 5 year ban?

No, it is a violation of federal law for you to possess a firearm or ammunition.
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

There's no legal reason why you can't do both. There are, however, very practical reasons that should be taken into account. First, you have paid an attorney to represent you. That lawyer is in the best possible position to decide what to do with your case. Most criminal cases are charged... View More

Retain new cousel if you are unhappy, Domestic violence is a serious charge. If you can prove she was lying she could be charged with a false police report, You may be able to sue her for malicious prosecution if you are found not guilty,

Domestic violence has nothing to do with child support, It could be relevant to child custody or visitation,

What to do depends on which jurisdiction the case was filed in. You should hire a criminal defense attorney who takes cases in the county where your case is pending and you should follow that attorney's advice about how to clear the warrant and defend the case.

You can be arrested and charged with a felony if a law enforcement officer believes that you physically hurt an elderly person, or that you neglected a duty to prevent them being hurt. The safest thing is to remove yourself from the situation.
Police won’t do anything, do I need to take her to court, will she have to pay for legal fees if I do? We have 2 kids together so we need to talk ANOUT THE KIDS but she is constantly tearing me down. SHe hates my girlfriend and talks bad about us to the kids.

Respond that you are only willing to talk to her about the kids. Do not respond to anything else she sends. If she continues to send those messages after you have been 100% clear AND you have stopped responding, then she is committing the crime of Harassment. The cops probably won't do... View More

Don't go trespassing, and especially not during the nighttime with the intent to recover property that he thinks belongs to him. If he has a decent attorney, he would probably get away with shooting you dead under those circumstances.

An arrest which does not result in convictioin or probation will not keep your husband from purchasing and possessing a firearm.

No, not automatically. They are separate crimes but the prosecutor could dismiss both charges if they wanted to.
I might be going to county jail soon, and found out that I have a warrant in Texas that's in state pickup only. They tell me it's for EPO violation, and I have a court date set here for EPO hearing too. If the warrant is for in state only will they send me to Texas for that?
