Q. Received a court letter for a $92.37 check theft charge with incorrect address and name due to marriage in Texas. How to proceed?
A: The best action is to request or go get ALL the paperwork and filed documents on your case, and get all of that in front of an attorney. Much like a Traffic Ticket, sometimes the JP courts deal with a small HOT CHECK, wherein a trial date is set by the court. If you miss the trial date, the JP court may enter a "Default" judgment against you. If that happens, the Statute of Limitations is not an issue. The reason is because the State and the court Noticed you for your day in court. This may be a small case that keeps growing.

Get all docs, and see a good criminal attorney. There are lots of great attorneys on JUSTIA.COM.

I hope this helps. You can send me more info at my email address.

Good Luck!

Q. Dispute misdemeanor Class C theft charge for expired check statute of limitations in Texas.
A: It is true, the Statute of Limitations ("SOL") on a Class C misdemeanor in Texas is two (2) years. However, if you or any defendant has acknowledged the debt or bad check, that statute time may be extended.

If the DA or County Attorney, has filed an Information against you, with the clerk of court, within the SOL, then the time limit to prosecute, has been stopped or "stayed." That means the charge may still be made against you. None of this is simple.

There are a lot of side-issues that may come in to play, but if the County Attorney has NOT filed any charges, you may be in a position to request a dismissal. That must be done in-court, and must be done by written Motion.

I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Q. Can I get compensation for wrongful detention and vehicle damage in Texas?
A: Yes! The deeper question is how much can you get compensated for 90 days in jail, due to wrongful prosecution. The governments of Texas ( city, state, township), are paying about $100-$400 per day. That number can go higher if you can prove a private citizen or non-government actor is a significant cause for the imprisonment. Then you can get a per-day award, plus the possibility of punitive damages, exemplary damages and other damages. This all assumes that you start a lawsuit, and win your trial. The vehicle damage may be an easier route. I would start with the tow company.

I hope this helps.
