Finding out that your loved one has an outstanding warrant—especially while she’s 37 weeks pregnant—can be incredibly stressful. The situation requires careful handling to protect her health and legal rights while working toward the best possible resolution.
Criminal mischief charges in Texas typically involve accusations of property damage or vandalism. The severity of the charge depends on the extent of the alleged damage, but even a misdemeanor can lead to arrest, court appearances, and fines if not handled properly. When a warrant is active, it’s important not to ignore it—because law enforcement could act on it at any time.
The safest and smartest approach is to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately. Your lawyer can verify the warrant, find out which court issued it, and take steps to arrange a peaceful surrender if necessary. This often helps avoid a public or stressful arrest and can show the court that your wife is taking the matter seriously and responsibly.
Given her pregnancy, your attorney can also request that the court consider medical needs and safety concerns when determining release conditions or scheduling appearances. In many cases, it’s possible to minimize time in custody or arrange a personal bond, depending on the facts of the case and her criminal history.
