A friend of mine was arrested New Years Eve for DUI.:no: He is still being held in the county(McLennan) jail. According to his sister, an ex police officer in Houston, a police report has to be filed within 30 days of the arrest date. His court appointed attorney has said that the police report was not filed until April. Is there a law in Texas that states that the police have 30 days to file their report? I have looked through the Texas Penal Code but can't find any information on this. Of course, when I call the police department, I don't get a straight answer. Thanks for any information on this.
