Additionally, she was the prosecutor for the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas, a position she resigned in late after being elected as district attorney. Closing her practice was the hardest part of the transition to DA, but with her mentor and fellow attorney, Dana Williams, taking over, she believes her clients will be in good hands.
Dana is the judge at the Tribe and has a law practice in Livingston.

Its sole legal purpose is to guarantee the defendant's appearance in court for later proceedings.
The judge is required to consider not only the seriousness of the offense charged against the defendant, but also the defendant's ability to raise money to make bail, in setting the amount. Bail may not be set so high as to punish a defendant by keeping him in jail pending his trial. What if someone threatens or tries to intimidate me into dropping charges I have filed?
Such a person is obstructing justice and may be guilty of a felony offense called "retaliation. Do so as soon as possible so that the threats can be documented and action taken to prevent reoccurrence. How is a case processed in the District Attorney's Office? After a case is referred to my office it is presented to a grand jury.
If the grand jury indicts the case it is then assigned to an assistant district attorney who will handle the case in district court.
What if a defense attorney contacts me about the case? You may discuss the case with him, but we would like to know in advance if you plan to do so, and we might like to have someone from our staff present when you do. You are not required to discuss the case with a representative of the defense and may decline to do so.
Please remember that the attorney representing the defendant is performing a legal duty when he investigates the case, but also remember that what you say can damage our case if taken in the wrong context. If you wish, you may simply refer the defense attorney to our office for any information he wants and decline to discuss the case with him.
Does the judge appoint investigators for the defense in criminal cases? In some cases, private investigators assist defense attorneys in case preparation. If the defendant is indigent, the judge may appoint an attorney and an investigator to aid the defendant. However, in no case will the investigator be working for the judge; he will report his investigation to the defense attorney, and it may be used to damage our case in trial.
Require anyone who claims to be investigating "for the judge" or "for the court" to show identification and be sure to examine it closely. Call our office before you talk about the case if you have any doubts.
You are under no legal duty to discuss the case with a defense investigator. What is a grand jury? A grand jury is a body of twelve citizens who consider whether indictments should be returned in felony cases. The grand jury meets every second and fourth Wednesday in Liberty County.
Grand jurors are nominated by Grand Jury Commissioners appointed by a district judge. The district attorney has no control over the selection process. In addition, a grand jury can be selected randomly from the voter registration rolls of the county in the same manner that trial juries are selected. Grand jury proceedings are not open to the public, and witnesses take an oath of secrecy before testifying. What does a grand jury do?
Unless a defendant waives an indictment, Texas law requires action by the grand jury before a felony case can be filed in district court. If the grand jury believes that there is sufficient evidence to prove that a person has committed a felony, it votes to issue what is called a "true bill," or indictment.
At least nine grand jurors must vote in favor of an indictment, or the case is "no-billed," which terminates the case. The district attorney and his assistants assist the grand jury in hearing evidence and preparing indictments, but the actual deliberations on cases are secret and only the grand jurors are present when voting is in progress.
How are witnesses called for trial? Witnesses are notified by subpoena when and where to appear, and what, if anything, to bring with them to court. Witnesses for the prosecution usually receive their subpoenas more than a week prior to the trial setting. I have cooperated fully with the police; why am I being supoenaed?
Occasionally, witnesses feel offended that they should be "ordered" to appear in court, which is what a subpoena does. We issue subpoenas for all witnesses because our law provides that we cannot have a case postponed, despite the illness or incapacitation of a witness, unless that witness has been served a subpoena.
We issue the subpoena to protect our case and your rights, in the unlikely event that you or some other witness is incapacitated at the time of trial. What should I do after I receive the subpoena? No action is required on your part after you receive the subpoena, other than appearing in court on the date and at the time stated on the subpoena. Please note that all of our subpoenas instruct the witness to check with our office before reporting to the courthouse.
This may prevent an unnecessary trip to the courthouse in case of a last-minute change in the trial schedule. What should I wear to Court? Please dress neatly and conservatively when making an appearance in court. Your manner of dress can have an impact upon jurors who listen to your testimony and who may be called upon to determine facts. What is an examining trial?
