Court Documents Texas

These sworn statements can be used to fight any criminal charge that involves a complaining witness. Domestic violence defense attorneys primarily use them to fight Texas assault family violence cases. Call an attorney to assist you if you have been charged with violating a Texas domestic violence law. An attorney can guide you through the process of navigating the criminal justice system and can provie forms for affidavits of non-prosecution and information on how to write them.

Above, you can see an example of a  typical affidavit of non-prosecution domestic violence form for use in Texas assault family violence cases.  The first page of an affidavit of non-prosecution form has a place for the complaining witness to write his or her name, address, and initials next to declarations, which state the complaining witness is writing the affidavit on their own free will and not under any form of coercion, is writing the affidavit using their own words and no one else’s, and is requesting the district attorney’s office no longer prosecute the case.  Following the declarations, the complaining witness will have blank spaces to hand-write their statement, and the affidavit of non-prosecution will end with a signature block and place for a notary to attest the sworn statement is true. 

Once a case is filed, the district attorney’s office has the sole authority to drop or dismiss a charge for assault family violence. 

It is very important to hire a domestic violence defense attorney with a proven track record of success to fight for your rights and preserve your reputation for the future.
