Texas Criminal Defense FAQ
Were you or someone you love recently arrested in TX? If so, you may have
some unanswered questions. Below are some frequently asked questions about
criminal defense. If your question is not addressed here,
contact The Law Office of Alex R. Hernandez, Jr. PLLC to speak with seasoned criminal attorneys in Corpus Christi, Texas today.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
This all depends on whether or not formal charges have been filed against
you. It can also depend on if your Corpus Christi criminal defense attorney
can reach a plea bargain with the prosecution before resorting to trial.
Sometimes these matters can be resolved in pre-trial hearings, but other
times the case must go to trial in order to be fully resolved.
What Possible Penalties Could I Be Looking At?
According to Texas criminal law the penalties can vary drastically depending
on the crime and the severity of your criminal offense. However, the majority
of misdemeanor offenses can lead to a one year jail sentence and a fine
up to $4,000. Felony crimes are taken much more seriously in the eyes
of the court and those are typically punishable for several years in prison
and up to $10,000 in fines.
How Long Can a Criminal Case Take?
The time it takes to process any criminal case in Texas is highly variable.
Aspects such as the severity of the charges, the evidence required, and
the overall complexity of the situation can affect how long a case takes.
While it's understandable that many people want to resolve their cases
quickly, it is important to allow for as much time as needed for the defense
attorney to prepare a solid defense.
Is It Illegal to Be in Possession of Marijuana in Texas?
Yes. No matter how much marijuana is found in your possession, you can
be charged with a drug crime if the police find even the smallest amount.
The penalties for marijuana drug crimes will vary depending on the amount
of the drug found in your
possession.
For example, if you were in possession of 5oz or less then it is considered
to be a Class C misdemeanor. However, if law enforcement catches you with
2,000 lb of marijuana then you could be facing a first-degree felony charge
for drug possession.
Can I Be Pulled Over for DWI in Texas?
In order to be charged with drunk driving, Texas law enforcement officials
must first have legal grounds to pull you over. They must also have plenty
of convincing evidence to suspect that you were, in fact, driving while
intoxicated. For example, if you fail a blood test, urine test, breath
test or field sobriety test, then the police may have legal ground to
arrest you for suspicion of DWI.
