If I turn myself in on a Class A warrant, what will happen and how long can I be held to appear in court?

Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
You can make a no arrest bond - put up the full cash amount or hire a bondsman to put up the percentage and pay their fee. If you do this, you will not sit in jail at all. You should also hire a lawyer before doing this. Depending on the county, you could be held for a couple of weeks before going to court although in larger counties it is generally within 2 days. You could get up to 1 year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine.

I have been indicted on a felony charge. Can I take a private polygraph test and when I pass it use it in court?

Jeralyn Elise Merritt
Answered by attorney Jeralyn Elise Merritt (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Jeralyn E. Merritt
It depends on where you live and whether you have been charged in state court or federal court. In Texas, where you live, polygraph evidence is not admissible for any purpose in a state criminal proceeding. Some state and federal courts will not allow polygraph evidence because there is no consensus that polygraph evidence is reliable. To this day, the scientific community remains extremely polarized about the reliability of polygraph techniques. Some studies have concluded that polygraph tests overall are accurate and reliable. Other studies suggest the accuracy rate is little better than could be obtained by the toss of a coin, that is, 50 percent. However, more than twenty states allow the admission of polygraph evidence under specified circumstances, such as on agreement of the parties. New Mexico treats polygraph evidence similarly to other types of scientific testimony, but has created additional safeguards specifically for polygraph evidence. In federal courts, admissibility of polygraph evidence is possible in most jurisdictions, either at the discretion of the judge or by agreement among the parties. The Fifth Circuit, which includes Texas, has removed the absolute ban on admission of polygraph evidence, but maintains strict tests for its admission. So if you have been charged in federal rather than state court in Texas, it is possible you may be allowed to introduce evidence that you passed a polygraph. The United States Supreme Court has considered the issue of whether an automatic rule against admission of polygraph evidence violates a defendant\\\'s Fifth or Sixth Amendment rights to present a defense and determined that it does not. The Court concluded that the automatic exclusion rule advanced the legitimate interest of barring unreliable evidence.

I have a class b misdemeanor chart of theft.am I eligible to be hired as a teacher in Plano texas independent school district.

Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
Hard "maybe." Although it is not a conviction, you plead guilty when you were placed on deferrwd adjudication. In the future you can have this offense sealed, it will remain visible to state agencies, like the TX State Board of Educators, and school districts. You should anticipate you will be required to disclose it, and may have additional scrutiny when applying for teaching positions. Although not a prohibition, a misdemeanor theft, even though you are not convicted, will create hurdles if you want to pursue a career as a teacher.
