What should I say to the police if I have been arrested?
It is important that you keep your rights in mind after you have been arrested. You do not need to say anything to the police except that you want an attorney. When the police say to you that anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law, they are being deadly serious. You have legal rights and you need to do everything in your power to ensure that they are upheld throughout the entire criminal process. An arrest can be very upsetting and traumatic. If you have been arrested, please call one of the experienced criminal lawyers at the Zendeh Del Law Firm to get experienced advice and representation.
What can I do to protect my rights after I have been arrested?

That is why you can count on them to provide you with the aggressive and vigorous defense that you need.
What is the maximum penalty I can receive for a crime in Texas?
Only reserved for the most serious crime of premeditated murder, you can be charged with a capital felony. If you are convicted of a capital felony, you can be put to death by lethal injection or you can be imprisoned for life without the possibility of parole. If you have been charged with murder, it is absolutely vital that you do everything you can to protect your rights and your future. If your life hangs in the balance, you must take action to protect yourself by speaking with an experienced Plano criminal defense lawyer.
What is the “legal” blood alcohol concentration limit in Texas?
If you are over the age of 21 and you have a BAC of .08% or more while operating a motor vehicle, you will be charged with DWI. If you are under the age of 21, any level of alcohol in your bloodstream can result in drunk driving charges. You must also remember that you can be charged with DWI even if your BAC is less than the “legal limit.” If your driving is impaired and your BAC is less than .08%, you could still be charged and convicted.
