WHAT IS PROBABLE CAUSE IN TEXAS?Probable cause is the standard of proof used by law enforcement to make an arrest, conduct a search, or perform a seizure. This prevents police from arresting a person for no reason or because they think a person “looks guilty.” Instead, there must be probable cause showing that a criminal offense has been committed. It is also used by prosecutors in order to bring criminal charges against a defendant. FACTS OR EVIDENCE WHICH CAN BRING A REASONABLE PERSON TO BELIEVE A SUSPECT HAS COMMITTED A CRIMEIf you are arrested for any type of crime, remain silent, and cooperate with police. Then, request that you speak to an attorney as soon as possible. An experienced Kingwood criminal defense lawyer can review the arrest to determine if probable cause existed.
