Motion For New Trial

Summary

In Texas, you can file a motion for a new trial within 30 days after sentencing if you believe you had ineffective counsel. You must prove your counsels performance was deficient and that this deficiency prejudiced your case. Consulting with an experienced attorney is highly recommended to navigate this complex process. Additionally, you may consider filing a post-conviction writ of habeas corpus. This involves gathering all relevant documents, hiring an experienced post-conviction attorney, and filing the writ in the convicting court. The judge will then make a decision based on the writ and the states response. Time is of the essence, so immediate consultation with an attorney is crucial.
