Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Busted-One arrested, One not

When police came to my cousin's apartment, she allowed them to search, and Meth was found. Some on her person and some on a table. Even though the apt. was in her name, I stayed there most of the time. The police said they were acting on a phone call that two girls there sold drugs to her child. We hadn't. But the police found all they needed. I was allowed to stay if I signed as a witness, but I was not arrested! ONly my cousin was arrested! Now they think I turned her in to bail myself out of some jam! Didn't happen. They think I am a CI! I am not. What are the procedures in a case like this one usually? How can I prove I am not a CI? Even if I had been a CI, would the arrest for the so called jam be public record? That would prove that I was never arrested, in a jam, if there was no record when there should have been one..Thanks.

Bluntly, you are worrying about the wrong things here. You are not going to be able to prove you are not a CI. When her attorney gets the file during discovery, her attorney will have the facts. You need to be more worried about eventually going to prison for hanging out with a cousin selling meth. You were very lucky here. Very.
