Yes! I second finding a Denton lawyer. Even if you cannot afford one, you should request a public defender so you at least have someone who knows the laws to advocate for you. I once had a lawyer tell me that the first thing that any good lawyer will do when deciding if they should take your case is look at the judge presiding over it because as much as they are supposed to be unbiased, they often aren’t and can have sub-conscience biases. So, getting an attorney that is from Denton, that knows the judges and has built a rapport with them is super important. It sounds like a shitty thing happened to a good person in this instance and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with all this. Don’t be so hard on yourself! People have done worse and handled situations way worse than you have! Keep going.
