Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas

Wrongfully charged in criminal court

I was falsely charged with ''terroristic threat'' by a woman whom I called on the phone in the presence of 3 witnesses. I asked her politely to have her husband to stop harassing and stalking my wife. She decided to have her friend, a detective in the police dept, file criminal charges on me 3 DAYS later. She lied about what the conversation was about. Fortuneatly, I had witnesses. I had a crystal clear record until this. I have, not only spent monies on legals fees, but also, in the line of work I do, I DON'T get paid if I don't work. Therefore, I had lost wages. Also I spent a day in jail for the first time in my life. My family and I have gone through much grief and humiliation. My children still have nightmares. I have gone to court and my case is going to be dismissed and now I will have to pay for legal fees for expunsion. I'd like to know what legal rememdies can I pursue to not only get reimbursed for my lost wages and unnecessary legal expenses, but also to file charges on this woman for wrongful arrest and harassment. I appreciate your assistance with my question.

Thanks.
