Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Victim Rights being ignored!
In April of '99 my husband and I were buglarized and our car was stolen. The defendant was scheduled for trial in April of '00. My husband received a call in subpena. I called the investigtor before the trial. He told me that the DA wouldn't speak to us until about 1 hour before the trial. The day of trial my husband called in as instructed by the subpena. No one ever called us back. One week later we recieve a letter that the defendant had been given probabtion and ordered to pay restitution $5/mo for 80 months. I have been trying for over 2 months to contact the DA to find out what happend. No one returns phone calls or letter. Is there anything legaly we can do?

Go to the Clerk of Court's office in the courthouse, ask to see the court file, read it and find out what the judge did.
