Hideaway, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

It will be necessary for your attorney to raise the issue of the statute of limitations. There are some situations where there limits are tolled and that situation may apply to you. If you have already gone to trial and the issue was not raised, you may have an issue of the competence to the representation you received. If this is the case, a writ of habeas corpus may be useful.

Burbank? Contact the court where your case is pending and ask if they have the option for remote hearings by zoom. If they do not, you will have to travel to court, despite the expenses. If you do not appear, a warrant will be issued for your arrest for non-appearance. If it is a felony offense, the warrant will be enforced nationwide; you can be arrested for a felony warrant in any state and extradited back to Texas. If it is a misdemeanor warrant, they will not arrest you on it in California, but, it will remain in Texas indefinitely, so if you ever came back to Texas you could be arrested on the warrant.  You also could hire a lawyer in Grand Prairie, TX that could go to court for you; this would not excuse your non-appearance if in person appearance is required in the court, but, they might be able to get you a continuance if you are not able to obtain one when you call the Court. Any Dallas area attorney can help you.  Good luck.
