Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

The police will generally contact the person in whose name the car is registered and attempt to schedule an appointment for them to come in and talk to police. I suggest this person get a lawyer. If the person does not cooperate, they may get the grand jury to subpoena them. If they come in but do not make a statement, they will generally take their photograph for a photospread. OR, they might get their driver's license photo for a spread to be presented to the witnesses.

The amount of time all of this takes depends on the officer handling the investigation.

Talk to a lawyer now and get a bond arranged.
