Q. Is there a way to look up if I’ve been released from my breathalyzer

A: You can get an interlock removal order from the court or probation office. A lawyer can help you do this.

Q. Is it ever permissible for a person charged with a crime in the state of Texas did not see a judge at all

February 13, 2021

A: It sounds like you made a bond prior to your initial appearance. The first hearing that is normally held is called an Article 15.17 hearing and a county has 48 hours to complete this hearing. If you bonded out prior to the hearing the police may have not delivered your case to the district attorney's office and it may or may not be filed in the courts.

A: It is difficult to predict exactly what a prosecutor would do in particular cases. However, it is very common that young offenders who are able to show that they have fixed the damage to other's vehicles are offered either community service or other conditions to complete in return for a dismissal of class "c" charges. Hiring a lawyer can be helpful so that you can avoid appearing in court and a plea offer like this can be negotiated. The College Station Municipal court is somewhat restrictive in what they typically approve and the defense of he is a young college student is something they hear all the time.
