Houston Criminal Law Journal by Texas Lawyers covering DWI Drunk Driving Arrests, Criminal Defense Charges, Drug Possession, and Assault

We enjoy reading emails from people, but lately we have received some that are way too long. to read.  If you can not say what you want to say in one or two paragraphs please pick up the phone and call our office.  We are very easy to reach when we are not in trial.  It would save you a lot of your time.  I must admit that when I receive a long email from our contact form on this blog I think it is something that has been cut/pasted and emailed  to several other criminal attorneys in Houston.  While that might not be the case, I am conscious that I am not giving as much attention as I would  if had received a phone call.

If you are seeking the help of a Houston Criminal Defense Lawyer please call our law firm at (713) 225-1038 or (800) 724-1876, if you live outside of Houston, Texas.

A lot of discussion has occurred the last of couple of weeks concerning the DWI Pretrial Diversion Program around the Harris County Courthouse.  Luckily, this has also opened the door for other types of cases to be more easily considered for pretrial diversion.  I have personally encountered prosecutors being receptive to a pretrial diversion for theft, possession of marijuana, and possession of cocaine cases.  In the past, a request for a pretrial diversion was akin to asking for a prosecutor's first born in Harris County.   For the sake of anyone accused of a crime I hope this trend continues.

Despite being a criminal defense attorney in Houston this news does not make me feel any better, but the Detroit Crime lab is experiencing similar issues that Houston's crime lab faced.  Hopefully, Detroit will look to Houston for guidance in trying to clean up a crime lab.

 I wonder what it will take before the general public will view this type of evidence more closely before potentially convicting an innocent person.
