Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: Spousal privlege

There is no spousal privlege in Texas with regards to Assault (Family Violence). The law has long since changed and you may be compelled to testify, although that's a bad move for the prosecutor. However, I've seen them time and time again compel testimony. You may be brought to court by the police if you fail to answer a subpoena. Call the prosecutor and talk to them and tell them in no uncertain terms you are not going to testify and see how they react.
