Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I am a victim in which a gun was drawn on me and pointed in my face. The d.a. intake division has chosen not to pursue or press charges. What can I do for justice?

Do you know who the person is? If so and the prosecution declined charges, sue the person in civil court. If you get a judgment, the prosecutor may change their mind, too. Talk to a civil lawyer. (The accused must have money to interest a lawyer in taking the case unfortunately. But if no lawyer will take the case, you can sue him in small claims court yourself.)
