Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas

I was arrested on a child support warrant and the person I was arrested with was arrested for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. i was then taken out of the police car and filmed and had my pictures taken by the media. I was then taken into custody and question about a retail theft that i knew nothing about. I was then released without any charges. Two days later after i was released there was a news clip that aired on t.v and the internet and also an article show my involvement in an organized crime theft ring. It also show my picture. Now my family think im a criminal involved in organize crime and employers will not hire me thinking that im going to steal from them. what can i do?

If the news media lied about you, you can sue them for slander. I hope you kept a copy of the news article and recorded the news item on TV.
