Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My friend's sister informed the police about drug activity in the house. The police raided the house and arrested my friend and her boyfriend for possession and man./delivery. Later the same day they were arrested and went to jail, the sister and her boyfriend broke in the house, stole many items, fled, and were caught with items reported in their possession. does this in any way affect her credibility or have any potential to help my friends case?

It is bad for her credibility but has no bearing on probable cause for the raid. If police found drugs during the raid then her testimony will not be necessary at all. The tip was credible even if it was done to rob the house, or as is often the case, for revenge. Sorry, but you need to look for other ways to have the evidence ruled inadmissible.
