Houston Evading Arrest Attorney
According to Texas Penal Code, Section 38.04, evading arrest is when a person flees from a person they know to be a peace officer attempting to lawfully arrest or detain them. Evading arrest is usually considered a class B misdemeanor, but there are circumstances that can result in more serious charges. If you use a vehicle to evade arrest, you will face a felony charge punishable by up to ten years in prison.
A conviction for evading arrest will also cause your driver’s license to be suspended. Texas law on evading arrest is very strict. These harsh consequences are exactly why you must have a strong lawyer at your side who will hold the police to all of the procedures the law requires of them when making stops or arrests. Jim Medley has over ten years of experience under his belt as a Texas peace officer, and he has been an instructor at the police academy.
