Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Pursuing charges/Interception of mail

Can the district attorney still attempt to pursue charges or go to trial even after I told her that the statement and allegations that I made against the defendant were completely false? Also, can the district attorney intercept, read, and make copies of an inmate's outgoing mail?
