Writing Arrest Notes Properly

Summary

Writing arrest notes in the first person and signing them is recommended for authenticity. In Texas, affidavits are sworn statements used as evidence in court and require notarization. Your attorney may be concerned about affidavits due to their legal implications, such as potential perjury charges if false information is included. Simply emailing arrest notes does not make them an affidavit. Discuss any concerns with your attorney for tailored advice.
