Tourist and Out-of-State Visitor Arrests

Houston Criminal Lawyer for Tourist and Out-of-State Visitor Arrests


Every year the unique culture and diverse entertainment opportunities of Texas attract millions of foreign and domestic tourists to the greater Houston area. The large and growing job market in southeast Texas also attracts thousands of workers from other states and countries. Texas is called The Friendly State and Texans are genuinely friendly, however keep in mind that “Don’t Mess with Texas” is not just a catchy slogan; it is taken seriously. For visitors caught breaking the law, their contact with and arrest by law enforcement officers may seem harsh, but the possible punishment in criminal court could result in lifelong consequences.
Texas criminal law and its application to the facts and circumstances of each case may seem straightforward, but the elected district attorney of each county may have their own special programs or considerations. If you are arrested it can be stressful and time-consuming to navigate these different legal systems, so contact an experienced Houston criminal defense attorney to represent you.
