Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
question about attempted murder
If a husband shoots his wife, (with no provocation, no threat, no nothing) then turns the gun on himself-- they both ultimately survive--will he be arrested and prosecuted whether or not the wife presses charges? If she decides not to press charges will the husband go completely free?

Re: question about attempted murder
Yes he will be charged. He has committed a crime. The wife doesn't press charges, the State of Texas does.
