Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

How would I get the P.D to drop the case that I have created. My boyfriend and I got into an argument he told me to leave and told me to leave our dog there. I immediately went to the store to use the pay phone and called the police. I told them I needed someone to assist me in getting my belongings at the house. They said they wouldnt do it until I lied and told them that he shoved me against the door, and tried to choke me. Realizing now that this wasnt eraseable. We need some serious help! Not only am I sorry and ashamed of doing this, its going to destroy him. I need some advice and quick. The police that responded, didnt take pictures, he wouldnt come to the door either so they werent able to arrest him if they were going to. They wanted me to take a video statement and I refused. I didnt sign anything and he didnt give a statement either. The detective just today got assigned. I have been calling for days and no one will give me a call. Because I was going to call and tell them I lied.

Stop using the telephone.

Send a PAPER letter to the police department (lick a 44-cent stamp) and tell them what you told me. Tell them that you no longer wish to prosecute the guy. Ask them how you can go about signing an Affidavit of Non-Prosecution.

Be sure to give them all of your contact information (along with the name of the perpetrator) - your name, address, phone number, email, etc.
