Motions for New Trial

When a guilty verdict or an unfavorable sentence is handed down in a Texas criminal trial, particularly in our Rockwall County, Dallas, Kaufman, or Hunt County courts, it can feel devastating.

Writs of Habeas Corpus

Texas Law provides a vital mechanism known as a writ of habeas corpus, often referred to as an "11.07 writ" in non-death penalty felony cases. This post-conviction remedy allows individuals to challenge their confinement based on Constitutional violations or other fundamental errors that may not have been, or could not have been, raised during the trial or on direct appeal.

Fortunately, Texas law provides vital legal avenues to clear or seal certain criminal records, offering eligible individuals a true fresh start and the chance to move forward unburdened by their past.
