TEXAS LAWS ABOUT AGGRAVATED CRIMES

In Texas, violent crimes include crimes committed with and without weapons. Examples of violent crimes include: rape, murder, robbery, aggravated assault, and other such felonies. Moreover, there are many circumstances that will convert a crime from a general crime to an aggravated crime. This depends on the crime that is being committed; some of the factors that play a role in determining if a crime is aggravated or not is as follows:

• Was there a weapon involved?
• Was bodily injury caused?
• Was there a threat of use of dangerous weapons?
• Did the accused possess explosives or other dangerous weapons?

When should you hire a criminal defense lawyer?

Most of the time, when someone is arrested, a judge will set some sort of bail for the person. Bail is a process through which an arrested person is allowed to pay certain sum of money in exchange for his or her release from jail.

 

BAIL VS. HIRING AN ATTORNEY

Many people make the mistake by rushing to bail a family member or a friend out of jail, only then to realize that they do not have enough money to hire a Criminal Defense lawyer who may be able to help them fight the charges.

 

WE CAN HELP YOU WITH THE BAIL PROCESS

We can help you with the bail process. First, if the bail amount is too high, depending upon the charge and circumstances, we can make a motion to the court to reduce it. Next, if the facts and circumstances permit, we can move the court to have you released on your own recognizance (own recognizance means you pay no money for bail). Finally, if all avenues fail, we can get you or your loved one out of jail through our attorney bond (for Dallas County only). If circumstances permit, we will get you out of jail.

 

FACTS CONSIDERED BY THE JUDGE FOR BAIL

These are some simple facts that are considered by the judge when we file a motion to have your bond reduced or have you released on your own recognizance (O.R. Bond):

• Risk of flight (not coming back to court to face and resolve the charges)
• Length of time in the community
• Family ties to the community
• Employment status
• Prior criminal history and charges
• Your current charge and the nature of it
• Public interest
• Amount of the bail
• Any past failures to appear in the court.
