The accused in this case has expressed a desire to move to Texas. If he makes such a move he will find the laws in Texas unfriendly to a case such as this.

In Texas if a 911 call is made concerning a domestic disturbance then someone is being charged. This law was passed many years ago in reaction to a rise in domestic disturbance calls where one party or the other only wished to scare the other party. When the police showed up and were turned away a lot of tax dollars went up in smoke due to what had now become a false alarm.

The bottom line in Texas is that if a call is made it is then out of the hands of the one who made the call, and if they decide to not press charges then that is their decision but it will have no bearing on if the DA wishes to move forward on the case.
