I was looking for help with a case my boyfriend has. He’s currently in the Dallas county jail on a stalking charge. ~ Recent Live Admin Chat
Finding out that someone you care about is in jail can be overwhelming, especially when the charge is as serious as stalking. Texas law takes stalking allegations very seriously, and even a misunderstanding or emotional dispute can lead to criminal charges that carry life-changing consequences.
A stalking charge under Texas Penal Code §42.072 usually involves repeated or unwanted contact, messages, or behavior that causes another person to feel threatened or harassed. Depending on the details, stalking can be charged as a third-degree or even second-degree felony, meaning the potential penalties could include years in prison and a permanent criminal record.
If your boyfriend is in the Dallas County Jail, it’s crucial to contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. An experienced lawyer can review the allegations, obtain discovery from the prosecutor, and determine whether the evidence supports the charge—or whether it’s based on false or exaggerated claims. In many cases, a defense attorney can help negotiate a bond reduction or argue for release conditions that allow your boyfriend to return home while the case is pending.
It’s also important that no one involved attempts to contact the alleged victim or violate any protective orders, as that can make the situation worse. Let the attorney handle all communication and legal strategy.
