How can you help my husband try to get reinstated with out prison time

Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
I would be happy to discuss the prospect of representing your husband. However, I do not reccomend anyone hire an attorney for the limited purpose of trying to get someone a lower bond or house arrest. Once an attorney is hired on the case, they are obligated for all matters related to the case, of which the bond is a small issue compared to the years of prison at stake. When there is a motion to revoke probation, the final decision about what happens is with the Judge, not the probation office. The probation office has a reccomendation they make to the DA, and Judge on what they think should happen, but it is not binding. When the probation office alleges a violation of the terms and conditions of probation, they submit a violation report to the District Attorney's Office. The DA then files a motion to revoke probation (motion to adjudicate guilt for deferred adjudication type probation). You are entitled to a bond, but the amount and conditions can vary greatly, depending on the Judge. You can work out an agreement with the DA or set the case for a hearing. At a hearing, you can submit evidence and testimony related to the alleged violations and compliance with probation conditions. The Judge has the option to reinstate probation, extend probation (in some circumstances), add conditions, or revoke and sentence to anywhere within the punishment range for the offense.

Statute of limitations of 2 years for Misdemeandor

Matthew Kyle Simcox
Answered by attorney Matthew Kyle Simcox (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at The Simcox Law Firm, P.L.L.C.
In Texas, ALL misdemeanor cases (classes A and B) have a 2 year statute of limitations.  That time period can be tolled (that is, stop running) if it can be proven that the defendant left the state and set up residence elsewhere.  It continues to run once the individual returns to the state.  As with anything else, the State has the burden to prove that there is a reason for the statute of limitations to be tolled.  Yes, terroristic threat is a 2 year statute of limitations. I hope that helps.

Can I own a registered gun although my husband is a convicted felon of drug possession?

Answered by attorney Dennis Julian Roberts (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Dennis Roberts A Professional Corporation
If YOU are not a convicted felon yes you can own a gun. BUT you'd better keep it in a lock box where the only key is outside of the house like with your parents or a sibling. Make damn sure his prints are NOT on the gun.
