Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

false reports

What constitutes a false report? If I filled out a report for lets say 343 ccp does that make me a person doing something? By the way I'm running to the top so I can fall down in front of you!

Re: false reports

Thanks for your question. What makes a false report is the assertion of facts as true that you know to be false, that the report is based upon. Penal Code section 148.5 provides that the filing of a false police report is a misdemeanor. Penal Code section 118 also provides that perjury is punishable as a felony, if appropriate.

I hope that this information helps you, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. It's my pleasure to assist in any way that I can.
