Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My brother currently has a felony arrest warrant in Texas. The police believes that he lives with me, but he doesn't. If the police knock on my door to arrest him, am I legally obligated to open the door and allow them entry with just an arrest warrant? Or can I simply state he is not there and close my door?

You can tell them he is not there and close the door. However, you can expect to be harassed if they believe that your brother is staying with you.
