Nobody has been charged. Texas law allows arrest and detention on an accusation only (this is common), with upwards of six months between that, and being charged. Of course, a person can be investigated and charged before being first arrested.

The procedure of having a judge review the evidence state in the warrant is supposed to weed out arrest without probable cause; with examining trials being a backstop in case the magistrate judge is a rubberstamp. It appears Texas law allows "probable cause" without evidence anyway, as the statute has a "magic words" provision.

A good number of the accused have been trying to get out from under the cloud of arrest, using more than one legal path. All the judges encountered so far say probable cause exists, based on the statements in the cookie cutter affidavit.

For those who need to get up to speed on that. Same identical affidavit with only then names changed x 177.

Great posts. Thanks.

When police witness you participating in a deadly gang fight, that’s all the probable cause they need.
