GENERAL INFORMATION: #1 Texas Legal Myth is "your DA won't show"

TEXAS NUMBER 1 LEGAL MYTH

Fred Dahr, noted Houston Criminal Defense Attorney, has a blog article that is worth reading in which he states the Number 1 Texas Legal Myth:

"the number one myth in Texas criminal law is "finish your deferred and the offense disappears. It's like it never happened." This lie is told to defendants every day in every court house in every county in Texas."

I would tell you, as an apartment locator, is that Apartments will also know and if you don't have a locator, like myself, that specializes in helping people with D.A.'s -- that you will be turned down.  And turned down often. There are only a handful of apartments in each metro area of TX that will accept your DA that won't accept convicted felons.
