Make Sure You Know Your Rights

Your Miranda rights are guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Frequently referred to in movies, TV and popular culture, these are the laws that you and the arresting officer must follow after you’ve been charged
with a criminal offense.

Your Miranda rights include:

  • The right to stay silent, as anything you say can be used against you by the prosecution
  • The right to consult with a lawyer before speaking with the police
  • The right to have an attorney present when questioned
  • The right to a court-appointed lawyer, if you cannot afford one on your own
  • The right to stop answering questions at any time

In Texas, a law enforcement officer will also ask if you understand all of your rights and whether or not you wish to answer any questions about your specific case and charges. Remember that it is always in your best interest to consult with a skilled and seasoned defense attorney before you say anything that may accidentally incriminate yourself.
