Should I talk to police without a lawyer?
You have the right to remain silent and to have an attorney present. Politely decline to answer questions until you have spoken with counsel.
Can my case be dismissed?
Some cases are dismissed or reduced due to weak evidence, unlawful searches, or diversion programs. It depends on the facts and the record.
Can a Texas criminal record be sealed?
Some records may qualify for expunction or an order of nondisclosure under Texas law, depending on the outcome and the offense.
