EXPOSING THE TRUTHSecrets of the Texas Criminal Justice System and Your Rights
A criminal charge of any type has the ability to send an accused individual’s life into complete upheaval. From protracted periods of incarceration, costly fines, license revocations, professional harm and damage to community standing, the implications of being convicted of a crime in Texas are things everyone should attempt to avoid.
Because the stakes are so high, it is incumbent upon those facing criminal allegations, no matter the category, to seek aggressive defense counsel as soon as possible. If you are under the inescapable stress, strain and fear known to result from the attention of police and prosecutors, you owe it to yourself to align with a West Texas criminal lawyer committed to protecting your rights and fighting for your future. Our attorneys practice statewide with offices in Amarillo, Austin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Fort Worth, Lubbock, Midland, and Odessa.
They say everything is bigger in Texas, and that holds true for the state’s criminal justice system. Texas has some of the strictest penalties for breaking the law anywhere in the country. In a country that leads the world in both the number of people in prison and the percentage of citizens behind bars, those statistics can sound daunting.
If you are facing any kind of criminal charges, a knowledgeable Texas criminal lawyer can protect your rights and defend you tirelessly. Experienced criminal lawyers understand the ways in which prosecutors think and, therefore, can often anticipate how a prosecutor may handle a case. That knowledge allows for diligent and comprehensive preparation of a potential client’s defense strategy. Call today to set up a confidential consultation with a Texas criminal attorney.
Nancy aggravated assault felony was dismissed this week. Nancy’s roommate called the police claiming Nancy pulled a gun on her/pistol-whipped her. Even though there were no injuries, the police arrested Nancy and when she bonded out the roommate had stolen her jewelry and broken into her safe with a crowbar, and pawned a bunch of her stuff. We presented our grand jury packet on Wednesday and the DA rejected the case the next day. – DISMISSED
Pedro’s DWI was reduced to Obstruction of a Highway. Pedro is an employee with a CDL so a DWI conviction would have been bad news. – REDUCED
Caleb was charged with a racing case (a misdemeanor). We turned several offers down and set it for trial. Three days before the trial, we agreed to do a short-term pre-trial diversion program. Caleb accepted. In 6 months, the case will be dismissed. Caleb will not have to report or do probation and stay out of trouble for six months. Caleb is very happy. DISMISSED
Eulogio had a DWI 1st over a .15-BAC .172. We were able to get the charge changed to an obstruction of a roadway, 8M deferred adjudication. REDUCED
Tyler BAC .28, DWI 1st w/open container. We had the blood analyzed which showed the blood should not be considered. We were able to get Tyler a deferred adjudication for 8 months and a $200 fine. With Tylers BAC being that high, it could have been a class A with no ability to get a deferred adjudication. REDUCED
Inna’s harassment conviction could have seriously jeopardized her U.S. status and could have subjected her to removal. Chase and our criminal defense team spent time gathering evidence in the case.
