Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
my question is is it legal for police to file charges on me four months after the incident? see i was pulled over october 2012 for a moving violation . it was me and a female friend passenger. the police asked me if they could check me i allowed them.they found $1000 in my pocket. meanwhile another officer questioned my female passenger who admitted to the officer she had drugs in her pants but she blamed that the drugs were mine. they told me they were going to arrest her.they allowed me to get my things from my rental car and impounded it.they released me and now february 2013 they filed possesion of controlled substance with intent to distribute charge against me. how can they do this and what can i do about it? i feel like im being harassed by the police please help what can i do?

Yes, they can file charges and in fact, it seems like they must have done the right thing in rather than reacting, the investigated.
What you can do is hire a lawyer and not discuss this with anyone but your lawyer. Sounds like they have gathered additional evidence against you.
