What Happens After an Arrest in Pearland?

Before your arrest, police officers were investigating the crime that they are accusing you of committing and gathered enough evidence to determine that you are responsible. They will then file a case against you in criminal court, which you can defend yourself against with the help of a Pearland criminal defense attorney from the Law Offices of David A. Breston.

The first stage in the Texas criminal justice system is the arraignment. During your arraignment, the judge will read the charges against you and ask if you will plead guilty or not guilty. You and your attorney will discuss how to best approach the arraignment before you attend.

Next, you and your attorney will begin building your case. We will work closely with you to discuss your best options and how to approach the trial or a potential plea agreement. We will also re-examine evidence presented by the prosecution, investigate your case, and identify witnesses that we can use in your case.

Finally, your case may go in one of two directions: you can enter plea bargain negotiations or you can go directly to trial. During a plea negotiation, the prosecution may present an option to help you avoid a harsher sentence. If you do not reach an agreement in the plea negotiations or your attorney decides it isn’t your best option, you will go to the courtroom.

In the courtroom, the court will hear your case and issue a verdict of guilty or not guilty. If the court finds you guilty, you may have the option to appeal your case – speak to your attorney about bringing the case to a higher Texas court.
