Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
Is there anything someone can do as a victim in a criminal case to prevent evidence from being used in hearings? Maybe a motion to supress evidence so that the defendant will not be charged? Or what could they do to help the defendant at all?

No. Evidence is evidence no matter to whom it belongs. If it was illegally seized, the defendant can get it suppressed. No one but the accused can file any motions in regard to the case (except to return the property at the end of the case.)
