Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

lower charges

wondering what are some things that a DA can drop an injury to child case to from a felony to misdemeanor. Will it just remain ''injury to child'' misdemeanor or is there something else it will be called? He has told a police officer that knows him very well that he would drop to misdemeanor and i believe the office because the officer is a very close friend of family and doesn't have anything to do with case (jurisdiction guidelines). Because if it would have went to them, they would have dropped the case just like the detective who i talked with (i know wrong decision) said he would, but clearly lied to me. I just graduated from college and very ironically, i have a degree in education. THIS whole thing is just ruining my life, but GOD knows all things. Could someone give me some details of what this case could be dropped to from a state jail felony ''injury to child'' to what possible misdemeanor?

Re: lower charges

Based on what you have stated, it would appear that the DA is willing to reduce the charges from a State Jail Felony under section 22.04 (injury to a child) to a Misdemeanor under section 22.01 (assault). You should seek the assistance of a criminal defense law firm when dealing with charges of this nature. If my law firm can assist you with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my legal assistant Jennifer ([email protected]) to arrange an initial consultation.
