About this video
In Harris County, an officer who wants to arrest someone calls the District Attorney's intake division first, and a prosecutor decides whether charges are accepted and what they will be. Brian Foley worked that intake line as a prosecutor. He explains why the charge on your paperwork is a prosecutor's decision, how it can be changed, and why a defense lawyer's early contact with the DA's office matters.
