CRIMINAL DEFENSE FAQS
What’s the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor in Texas?
A felony is a serious offense punishable by more than a year in state prison. A misdemeanor usually means less jail time (under a year), probation, or fines. Both can have long-term consequences.

Can I get my criminal record sealed or expunged in the state of Texas?
In some cases, yes — especially for Class C misdemeanors, dismissed charges, or deferred adjudication. Felony expunctions are rare but possible under certain conditions.

What happens at my first court appearance (arraignment)?
You’ll hear the charges, enter a plea, and possibly receive bond conditions. It’s not a trial, but what happens there sets the tone for your case. The arraignment process can vary depending on the county the case is in.
Don’t go to your arraignment alone. Let Law Wizard PLLC stand beside you from day one.
What’s the difference between probation and parole?
Probation is court supervision instead of jail time, while parole is supervised release after serving a prison sentence. Violating either can result in imprisonment.

PERSONAL INJURY FAQS
What should I do after a car accident in Texas?
First, get to a safe location and call 911 when anyone may be injured or the scene is unsafe. Seek medical care, exchange contact and insurance information, photograph the vehicles and scene, collect witness details, and preserve all records. Avoid guessing about fault or signing broad releases before you understand your injuries and rights.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Every claim is different. Value may depend on who was responsible, the severity and permanence of the injuries, medical treatment, lost income, future care, available insurance, and how the injuries affect daily life. A careful review of the evidence is necessary before any responsible estimate can be made.
Should I speak with the insurance adjuster?
You may need to provide basic information, but use caution with recorded statements, medical authorizations, and settlement releases. An adjuster works for the insurance company, and an early statement or settlement can affect your claim. Consider getting legal advice before giving a detailed recorded statement or signing anything.
What if I was partly responsible for the accident?
Texas uses proportionate-responsibility rules. Your recovery may be reduced by your assigned percentage of responsibility, and recovery can be barred when your percentage is greater than 50%. Because fault is often disputed, the specific facts and evidence matter.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?
Many Texas personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within two years after the claim accrues. Exceptions and shorter notice requirements can apply, including in some claims involving government entities or particular circumstances. Acting promptly helps protect evidence and allows time to evaluate the correct deadline.
Who pays my medical bills while the claim is pending?
Payment may involve health insurance, personal injury protection or medical-payments coverage, the responsible party’s insurer, or arrangements with medical providers. Reimbursement, lien, or subrogation issues may also arise. The answer depends on your coverage and the facts of the claim.
How long does a personal injury case take?
The timeline depends on medical recovery, the clarity of liability, the amount of evidence, insurance negotiations, and whether litigation is necessary. Some claims resolve in months; disputed or serious-injury cases can take longer. It is often important not to settle before future medical needs and losses are reasonably understood.
Do I need an attorney for a minor injury?
Even symptoms that seem minor at first can develop over time, and insurance or fault questions may become complicated. A consultation can help you understand deadlines, preserve records, evaluate coverage, and decide whether representation would add value to your situation.
What does personal injury representation cost?
Contingency-fee representation may be available, meaning attorney fees are tied to a recovery rather than charged as an hourly fee. The exact fee, case expenses, and responsibilities must be explained in a written agreement. Ask about all terms during your consultation before deciding to proceed.
