Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
What does it mean when an announcement court hearing says " contact complaining witness" mean? The next court date is 3 weeks later. This is a harrassment case against a woman who has harrassed & threatened me and my 4yr old son.

Said it out loud in court? Says it on court documents? Unclear the context but I am going to assume that you read this in court documents. If you are the complainant in a case, the prosecution should contact you before they make an offer to the accused. If you are not the complainant in the case but feel you have information that should be considered when they make an offer to the accused, you should contact the district attorney's office in the county and determine which prosecutor is handling the case and speak with them. (If you are the complainant, you can do the same thing to be proactive in talking with the prosecutor about your case.)
Good luck!
