What to Do After Being Arrested

If someone gets arrested in Texas, it's crucial to understand the proper steps to take and their rights under Texas law. Firstly, it's recommended to give as little information as possible to the police, as anything said may be used as evidence against you. You should immediately request legal counsel, whether at the scene or the police station. If you don't have a lawyer, one must be provided for you.

Upon arrest, you'll typically be taken to a police station or jail for booking. Within 24-48 hours, you should appear before a judge who will formally notify you of the charges. It's essential to stay calm and avoid trying to fix the situation yourself. Be careful with social media, as any post can potentially impact your case.

Regarding tests such as breathalyzer or blood tests, if there is no warrant in place, you are not obligated to submit to testing. However, refusal might have its own legal consequences, so it's best to consult with an attorney regarding this matter. If the case proceeds to trial and you're found guilty, the judge will issue a sentence.
