Being arrested can be one of the most terrifying experiences of your life. In Texas, understanding your legal rights can protect you from making costly mistakes during and after your arrest.
Here’s what you need to know:
- You have the right to remain silent – Anything you say can be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions until you have legal representation.
- You have the right to an attorney – Ask for a lawyer immediately. If you can’t afford one, the court will appoint one for you.
- Don’t resist arrest – Even if you believe the arrest is unfair, resisting can lead to additional charges.
- Call a trusted lawyer as soon as possible – Time is critical. A lawyer can begin protecting your rights right away and help build your defense.
