Oak Leaf, TX Criminal Defense Law Firms & Lawyers

You need to hire an attorney to defend your son. Sticking a finger out of his zipper does not constitute Indecent Exposure. The pocket knife issue presents the possibility of certain statutory defenses (e.g. self defense). If charges have already been accepted against your son, the best thing you can do is hire someone to protect him. Your son's attorney would be able to see whatever evidence the State has against him; they won't release any of it to you.

Whether your fiance will be kept on probation or have to do time in the county jail will depend on exactly what she was charged when she was placed on probation, the disposition of the judge who originally sentenced her and whether the new charges are actually dropped by the D.A. I suggest that she contact her original attorney, if she had one, contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding her case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.

If you receive or conceal stolen property or aid someone in receiving or concealing stolen property, it could be either a felony or a misdemeanor. It depends on the value of the property. If the value is less than $200, it's a 93-day misdemeanor. If the value is $200 to $1,000, it's a one-year misdemeanor. Beyond that value, you started getting into felony classification which again, depends on the value of the property. In order to be convicted you have to know or have reason to know (i.e. you should have known) that the property was stolen.
