Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Re: After arrest and bond

Your question is too general to answer in a meaningful way, but the information is probably not something which should be openly broadcast over the internet.

An example of how charges may be upgraded is a person might be arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, but if the victim later dies, the charge might be upgraded to murder with a deadly weapon. As the police discover more information, charges might change. They can be lowered too. For instance, pot taken in a raid might appear to have a certain weight, and a person might be arrested for that weight, but when it is carefully weighed in the lab, it might have dried enough to weigh less than the amount required for that particular charge (or perhaps some of it could be accidentally burned before the final weighing).
