Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I Do If I'm Arrested in Texas?

Do not answer questions or make any statements to law enforcement without an attorney present; politely invoke your right to remain silent and ask for legal counsel immediately. Then contact Garcia, Garcia & Mullen as soon as possible because the earlier we get involved, the more options we have to protect your rights and build your defense.

Do I Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer If I'm Innocent?

Yes, absolutely. Being innocent does not protect you from a wrongful conviction, and without legal representation, you risk making statements during questioning or at arraignment that unintentionally damage your case. An experienced criminal defense attorney at Garcia, Garcia & Mullen will ensure your rights are protected, challenge the prosecution's evidence, and make sure your story is heard fairly in court.

What Are the Penalties for a Criminal Conviction in Texas?

Penalties depend on the classification of the charge: misdemeanors range from a $500 fine for a Class C up to one year in county jail and a $4,000 fine for a Class A, while felonies can carry anywhere from 180 days in state jail up to life in prison and fines up to $10,000. Beyond sentencing, a conviction can affect your employment, professional licenses, housing, and immigration status for years to come.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident in Texas?

Call 911 to report the accident, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, document the scene with photos, and exchange information with the other driver. Then contact a personal injury attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster, as early legal guidance protects your claim and helps preserve critical evidence.

Can I Still File a Claim If I Was Partially at Fault for the Accident in Texas?

Yes. Texas follows a modified comparative negligence rule that allows you to recover compensation as long as you are found 50% or less at fault, though your damages will be reduced by your percentage of responsibility. If you are found 51% or more at fault, you are barred from recovery entirely, which is why having an attorney fight to keep fault accurately assigned is so important.

How Do Contingency Fees Work?

A contingency fee means you pay no attorney fees upfront; your lawyer only gets paid if they recover compensation for you, typically as a pre-agreed percentage of the settlement or verdict. This arrangement allows anyone to access quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation, with no out-of-pocket risk if the case does not result in a recovery.
