What Paperwork Or Documentation Should I Bring To My First Meeting With A Defense Lawyer?

It would be incredibly helpful to bring a valid form of government ID with you. This will allow the attorney to pull your criminal history (if you have one) and better strategize on how to help you.

Please be aware that having a criminal history is nothing to be ashamed of. I’m not here to judge you, and your past won’t cause me to fight for you any less hard.

Is There A Difference Between DUI and DWI Charges In Texas?

Yes. DUI is generally used if you are a minor and have any detectable quantity of drugs or alcohol in your system, but are not drunk. If you have any alcohol in your system and are under 21, for example, you will still be arrested. You will not be jailed, but will be arrested at the scene and held until another person (such as a parent) can pick you up.

Under What Circumstances Can Texas Police Legally Search My Car?

All the police need to search your vehicle is a “probable cause” that a crime has taken place, is taking place, or is about to take place. What does that look like in real life?

If you forget to use your blinker to change lanes, that could warrant a stop. Alternatively, if the cop following you is convinced you’ve got dope in your car, they’ll follow you until you make a simple mistake, like forgetting to use your blinker. Is that legal? Absolutely, and this is known as a “pretextual stop”. Learn more here: https://www.matthewmaddox.com/can-the-police-search-my-car-without-a-warrant-in-texas/

The Stakes Are High After A S*x Crime Arrest - Merely being charged with a s*xually based offense can have life-altering consequences. Many charges are based entirely on witness statements alone, which means innocent people get wrongfully charged all the time. False allegations are not uncommon.

What Are The Repercussions Of A Misdemeanor Conviction?

A misdemeanor on your record can impact the following areas for years to come:
• Job prospects: Many employers will not hire candidates with a misdemeanor on their record after conducting a criminal background check.
• Housing: Renting or leasing a place to live can be difficult to impossible as many landlords check criminal backgrounds before approving your lease.
• Financial aid for college: A drug-related crime automatically makes you ineligible to receive any federal financial aid for college for a set number of years. This could cause you to not graduate on time, or force you to drop out altogether and not complete your education.

Online Solicitation Of A Minor Is A Felony – Most online solicitation charges, and some s*xting charges, are the result of sting operations – coordinated efforts between law enforcement agencies that result in multiple people being arrested all at the same time.

If you were arrested as part of a sting operation, you could be facing additional s*x crimes charges as well.

Texas DWI “No Refusal” Weekends - In Texas, you have a legal right to refuse to consent to a DWI test – a blood test or a breathalyzer test.

Many people think that if they refuse the blood alcohol or breathalyzer test when the officer asks them on the road, and they wait to get tested later, their blood alcohol level will be lower by then. They hope it’s low enough to beat the DWI charge.

How Can Police Deception During Questioning Lead To False Confessions Or Self-Incrimination?

There is a police interrogation technique known as the Reid Technique. At first, the police will pretend to be your friend. They’ll use phrases like “I just need to get all sides of the story”. At this stage, the police are banking on a persona of fairness and friendliness to get you talking, hoping to get you to say something that could incriminate you.
