Withdraw Guilty Plea Texas
Summary
Withdrawing a guilty plea in Texas after sentencing is possible under certain conditions, such as involuntariness, ineffective assistance of counsel, new evidence, prosecutorial misconduct, or rights violations. Additional grounds include mental incapacity, fraud, or coercion. If the DA bluffed you into a plea without evidence, it might be grounds for withdrawal. Successful cases include Lee v. State (2009) and Ex parte Palmberg (2001). For search and seizure issues, executing a warrant outside specified hours can invalidate it. If police alter arrest times, it constitutes falsifying records. To file a motion to quash a warrant, serve copies to the prosecutor and law enforcement. If court clerks are unhelpful, contact the judges office or file a public records request. A Motion for Discovery can help obtain necessary information.Full Conversation

If there was no actual evidence, and the da was bluffing me into a plea, would that be grounds?
In Texas, if the DA bluffed you into a plea without actual evidence, it could fall under prosecutorial misconduct or coercion. This might be grounds to withdraw the plea, especially if it impacted your decision-making.
It would be beneficial to consult with an attorney to explore this further. Do you remember any details about the DA's statements or actions that made you feel pressured to plead guilty?

a day time search and seizure warrant was started at night 530am. An arrest was made at * before the search and seizure was to start. Also the arrest was made by the state for failure to register but federal search adn seisure was for electronic devices in the home.
Your situation involves potential legal issues regarding the execution of the search and seizure warrant and the timing of the arrest.

- Execution Time: Was the search conducted outside the authorized time frame?
- Arrest Timing: Was the arrest made before the search warrant was executed, and was it based on a valid cause?
- Jurisdiction Overlap: How did state and federal authorities coordinate?
Do you have details on whether the warrant explicitly stated permissible hours for execution?

yes the paper says day time 6am to * pm
In Texas, executing a search warrant outside the specified hours can invalidate the search and any evidence obtained. The arrest prior to the start time could also be contested.
Consider consulting a lawyer to challenge the search and arrest based on these procedural violations.

It sounds like you're encountering some roadblocks in obtaining crucial information. Let's approach this strategically.
You might consider filing a "Motion for Discovery" to get the prosecution's evidence, which should include details on the police and prosecutor involved.
