If you cannot afford an attorney, you can request the Court appoint an attorney to represent you. If you believe you can retain a lawyer, start calling attorneys in your area. Good luck.

Yes, you can be arrested for no insurance on a traffic stop. I don't know the totality of the state's evidence, but if you don't trust your attorney, go hire another one. Good luck.
I forgot about it when I went thru security at DFW. I have a handgun carrying license. The state police took all my info, allowed me to return the gun to my car, and I made my flight. What will happen now? TSA is federal, so what do I do?
answered on Jan 15, 2020
Yep, that happens. Thankfully TSA was cool and let you return it to your car. I doubt anything happens. Consider it a warning. They usually arrest you and you get a criminal charge at the airport.
answered on Jan 13, 2020
Yes, it can, however getting such is very difficult because you must file a writ and obtain a new trial and then you must win the new trial. I doubt the DA's office would agree to reverse the case unless you have some super compelling evidence that you could not have discovered before the trial.

When people have had their rights violated it is hard to articulate exactly what went wrong (police officers may not have had a right to remove the gun but neither would crime scene investigators). When a criminal defense attorney hears a fact pattern they ask themselves two preliminary questions... View More

The law requires the State to prove that the person charged "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes bodily injury to another..." Based on what you have presented - it sounds like the State may have a difficult task of proving the required mens rea. This does not mean the the... View More

If he is 17 then he is considered an adult for the purpose of CRIMINAL LAW in Texas. He will probably be charged with either Assault By Threat or Disorderly Conduct. Both are class C misdemeanors with a maximum fine of $500. He will probably receive a court date. If he fails to appear then he... View More

Talk to your criminal defense attorney. The feds are all about building conspiracy cases by getting people to snitch on their supplier.

He will finish his federal sentence. Then he will be sent via detainer to Texas, where he will sit in jail pending trial. His probation will be revoked, and depending on what type of probation he was on, if deferred then he can serve up to the maximum for the crime he committed. Sexual Assault is... View More
One of my family members has admitted to me, twice, that he has murdered people while he was in some type of gang. I will not get into details because they are graphic, but he told me not to tell about it. BTW, he has not been arrested for these crimes, but he has for drugs.

Perhaps, if law enforcement believes there is Probable Cause to believe he committed the offense. There are no limitations periods for Murder and Manslaughter so his prosecution would not be barred by the passage of time.

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?

You need to consult with an attorney that focuses on criminal appeals in Texas state courts. It is possible that the defendant waived some of his rights to appeal when he entered a guilty plea and you probably either need the alleged victim to recant and preferably also a statement from the person...
