Ive already signed the affidavit of non prosecution and Spoken with the 2 prosecutors, Who say they will proceed with the charges. What else can be done to help My Husband get these charges dismissed? I explained to them that My Husband had every right to enter Our home, They tried to say my apartment was leased in someone else's name but I provided the lease to the prosecutor as well to His defense attorney. What else can be done? In Your opinion do you think the charges could be dropped? He has a previous criminal record ad have decided to enhance the burglary of a habitation but he didn't break into My home.

He said that my husband knocked me over. My husband never touched me. My husband was arrested and charged with 3rd degree domestic assault.

My boyfriend and I got in an argument last Tuesday. He originally called the police because he thought somebody was in our house with me and he asked the officer to be there with him as he entered the house because he didn't want to get into a fight with anyone. My name is the only name on the lease and I assured the officers that showed up that no one was in the house. My boyfriend was out of sorts and was asked by the officers to leave. About an hour later I was getting out of the shower and my boyfriend was crawling in my back bedroom window that I had left unlocked claiming he wanted to get some of his stuff. I did not call the police immediately but I told him he needed to leave as we started fighting again. I called the police in hopes that would just escort him away. When they showed up it was like the entire city was there I opened the door and he walked outside where they used a ridiculous amount of force guns blazing and arrested him. One of the officers even threatened to shoot my little wiener dog. As soon as I saw this I started to pull out my phone to try and record it because it was completely unnecessary. As I tried to see what was going on another officer told me I had to sit inside. I told her that it was not against the law for me to see what was taking place and she told me it was and threatened to arrest me. At this point I stated that I did not want to press charges against him and that this was all just a misunderstanding. They even told me that he had a weapon on him (a pocket knife) that I had bought him that he takes everywhere which was completely dramatic. Here is my problem, they ended up taking him to jail... and charging him with criminal trespassing. He is on interstate compact probation and now this charge has given him a probation violation thus a probation revocation in Missouri hearing is now in the works. This is so unfair because he is doing so good here in Texas, works full time, and is staying out of trouble. So I do not really know where to start. I know he has 30 days but his court date in Texas isn't until late August. My question is do I get an attorney for the charge in Texas or should we get one for Missouri first. I feel these charges shouldn't stand for he does have a lot of his personal belongings at my house and stays here a few days out of the week.
