Q. House raided after wife's seizure; charged with possession. Was the warrant legal? Handling confiscated property?

April 11, 2025

A: I would challenge that warrant. I believe that the paraphernalia in your car is way too tenuous, to get a good warrant. If you were charged, you have the right to get a copy of the affidavit that was the basis for the warrant.

I can not believe you can't find a lawyer to go after that warrant. Those lawyers should be ashamed.

Get a real lawyer! Do not try to do this yourself. My office handles these cases regularly.

There are some great attorneys on this website.

On the seizure, you need to file an Answer to the forfeiture ASAP. Do not wait another day. That is a civil matter and there are some harsh deadlines. Get on it today!!!

Good luck!

Q. What should I do if I haven't been indicted for a DWI arrest over a year ago in Texas?

April 11, 2025

A: If you have a lawyer who was hired on this new DWI, you should definitely contact that person.

For the most part, the State has 180 days to indict you, after they arrest you on a felony. There are many ways that can be extended by the state. Thus, it is not over yet.

The best thing to do is NOT get arrested again.

Try to go on with your life and let more time pass. The Statute of limitations is three (3) years on felony 3rd DWI.

There is a lot more we could talk about, but you should talk to your lawyer first. If that doesn't work out, then you can call my office or any other experienced lawyer on the Justia website.

I hope this helps.

Q. Can I purchase a firearm in Texas after deferred adjudication for aggravated assault?

April 11, 2025

A: The short answer is yes. But, You will have to get your original case and arrest expunged from the court records. When your deferred adjudication was successfully completed, the judge dismissed the felony charges against you. If so, then you can have that case and the underlying arrest taken off the records for the state. That does NOT mean the FBI doesn't have that info. They are under no obligations to remove your arrest from their system.

However, your status for firearm rules in Texas and all other states, is that you are NOT a convicted felon. Thus, your 2nd Amendment rights are intact.

Good Luck!
