Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Im an illegal person having a relationship with a legal US resident. My 10 year old son who is also illegal in the country is living with us. Lately I have been experiencing domestic violence but Im afraid to call the police or do anything because of my status. What can I do, and what type of help can I get if I do end up calling the police on him?

Depending upon your residence, local police normally do not question the legal status of a victim of a crime. I am not aware of a victim in Collin or Dallas being detained on an immigration hold. Don't risk your safety or the safety of your child.
