Dallas County, 203rd Judicial District Court

The client was arrested out of state on a fugitive warrant for an alleged failure to register tied to a brief residence many years earlier. We obtained records from multiple jurisdictions, verified the client notified authorities when relocating, and documented subsequent registrations elsewhere. We pressed the investigator and prosecutor on the legal basis and filed in district court to force disclosure and review of the stale warrant. The record showed a clerical mismatch and a misreading of the statute. The prosecutor rejected the case and the warrant was withdrawn, resulting in a dismissal.
