citations no dogs

Ah, thank you. That explains it.

In the future, it is best not to answer a poster's question when it is added to someone else's old (or even someone else's new) thread.

The new poster's post will be reported to the moderator.

Instead, you can ask the poster to start his/her own thread.

What is the name of your state? Texas

I live in Texas. In August i received citations on my door that i had dog that did not have tags, no immunizations, no license, and dogs running at large. I was given a court date that I didn't go to. Then I received an arraignment date. My 16 year old stated that a officer took pictures of the dogs in the cage in my house. I do not the have dogs. I cant take off work. should I have to go to court, and will there be a warrant for my arrest.

Did you ever own the dogs or not? If they were in cages in your house it sounds like you own the dogs. If you do not show up for court you could end up spending some time in jail.

And yet my reply is now gone — and I didn't delete it. Why is that, I wonder? It certainly didn't violate any rules of this site so far as I am aware.

No the admins didn't touch this thread. They deleted the poster's questions from the other (inappropriate) thread, and I guess since they figured I had already copied your response over to this thread, they didn't need to do so.

You can't afford to NOT take off work.

At least, not if you want to avoid (or at least minimize) jail time.

Your choice:
1) Take time off from work, potentially lose your job, but have the possibility of staying out of jail.
2) Don't take off from work, end up with a warrant for your arrest, get arrested, get fired from your job as a no show, and have a record.

The option that decreases the probability of arrest warrants is better.

It does not matter that you do not currently have dogs. What matters is that at the time that the citations were issued you had dogs.

Actually, what matters is not whether he EVER owned dogs. Even if he is 100% innocent, he needs to answer the charges. There appears to be probable cause that he committed the crime.

Yes...The pic's that animal control took of the dogs in crates at OP's home are very damning.

I was rather adamant in my post that "work" was not a practical reason to blow off court, as it could eventually result in jail time.

OP is saying that he currently does not have dogs. In answering the charges, that factoid is irrelevant.
