My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas
I literally went a little nutty this past weekend on my boyfriend. I had a full hysterectomy 5 1/2 months ago and they won't let me have hormones until March...or at least to do all of the testing anyways. While I'm not saying this is the sole reason for my actions, I definately feel it contributed. I pretty much destroyed the contents of his home and scratched my bf of 3 years right on the eyebrow. I was quickly arrested and carted off.
I was charged with PC-22.01 Simple Assault by Contact and 3090 WB-Distrubing the peace within a residence.
My BF's neighbors called the cops and my BF refused to press charges, but the cop told him they (the state) would. My BF bonded me out. Now what? I've never even had a traffic ticket at 34 years old! I have a court date, they did take pics of him and his place. They told my bf not to bond me out to keep me there because they didn't want to come back to his house...and if they did, they'd arrest both of us. My BF tried to explain that we don't even argue! Normally if he or I are in a pissy mood we recognize it and just walk away until the other one cools off. I just lost it on him. I'm lucky he bonded me out and even cares about me this much to still be here with me. He says because he knows it is not me. I personally went to every neighbor and apologized to each that were there. I told them my apology I know does not do much but I just did not want them to have any ill will towards my BF. Today I went to my dr. and he upped my prescriptions and added a new one to help in the event this happens again until I get hormones. He also recommeded counseling for my stress. I called and left a message with the counselor today as well.
Meanwhile, panicked and crying I called the county clerk and they said I could come, keep my court date and speak to the city attorney for my options.
I have kids and am freaking out. Will I got to jail again? What about my job? I would appreciate anyone's help out there. Should I go to the expense of getting an attorney?
