What to Do After an Arrest in Deer Park

The moment police officers place you under arrest can be very terrifying and disorienting. You may want to proclaim your innocence, argue, or fight back. However, taking these actions can impact your case very negatively. If you are facing an arrest in Deer Park, take these steps to stay safe and protect your case.

• Do not fight the police officers, run away, or try to resist the arrest in any way. Comply with their orders and go with them to the police station. Fighting back can result in injury to you as well as additional charges for resisting arrest.
• When police place you under arrest, they will read you your rights. Listen carefully to each right and remember them. One of the most important rights is your right to remain silent — the prosecution can use whatever you say against you in your future case. Do not speak to any investigators, police officers, or prosecutors without your lawyer present.
• You also have the right to an attorney. As soon as you are able to, request to call the Law Office of David A. Breston and speak with your attorney. Your lawyer will help you navigate interrogations by police officers so that you do not accidentally harm your case, as well as discuss your legal options with you.

What Happens After You Get Arrested in Deer Park, TX?

After the law enforcement officers finish booking you and formally file charges against you, you will enter the Texas criminal justice system. Depending on the charges you are facing, you may have to enter a number of hearings, meetings, and trials to reach a verdict in your case.

First, you will attend an arraignment where a judge will read the charges you are facing to you and ask you to plea guilty or not guilty. Your attorney will advise you on the best approach to this plea. After, you and your attorney will work to build your defense, and you may enter negotiations for a plea agreement with the prosecution. If you are unable to reach an agreement, your case will go to trial.

During the trial, your Deer Park defense attorney will present your case in front of the judge and a jury, as well as the prosecution. The jury will then deliberate on whether you are guilty or not guilty, and will present a verdict to the courtroom at the conclusion of the trial.
