Hearing Court question

[sasha214]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas

I was charged with cc abuse, and debit card abuse just because I got off the truck and went inside the store to call a person that was trying them in the store, people that work there called the police, it also happened so fast, because his friend and him picked me up on the street corner 15 minutes before the credit & debit crimes that I didn't even know he was going in the store to try the cards, I went to jail that night with the pesron that was trying all those cards, we were both charged with the same charge, expect my bond was lower then his.

We were relased 3 days after on PRE-TRIAL release , its been maybe 6 months since the crime, April 1, 2009 is my hearing, I don't know what to expect, I would like to know if they could take me to jail after I go on hearing court.

I also have a Mental Illness problem, I take 4 different medications for bi-polar,schizophrenia,and other Illnesses similar to this.

Would me being on medication help in court, and would I have to speak too, or please explain how it works. Thanks.

Have you appeared in court on this ?

You should be appointed an attorney (Public Defender or panel attorney) on 4/1/09.

Tell your attorney everything about that night and about your illnesses.

Don't sign any paperwork at court until you speak with an attorney.

If the Judge tells you that you can speak with the Prosecutor, don't - ask for an attorney -- tell the Judge you don't understand what is happening and you need an attorney.

Don't sign a plea bargain unless your attorney explains everything to you and tells you why you are an 'accessory' or 'conspirator' and why you shouldn't take this to a jury trial.
