Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
Alleged Victim refuses to press charges.
My nephew attacked me in my home. I beat him out the door with a fire poker. At the time I felt a great deal of remorse however; I do strongly believe that he would have hurt me really bad. He has since submitted a statement to the D.A.'s office declaring that he does not wish to press charges. Can this be enough to get the charges dropped?

Re: Alleged Victim refuses to press charges.
Criminal charges are prosecuted by the district attorney's office. The fact that the alleged victim refuses to press charges will normally prevent the actual prosecution. If my law firm can assist you with this legal matter or any other legal issue, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]).
