Sounds like the DA office has a spinning dartboard. When a call comes in from the police they spin it, throw a dart, and whatever it lands on is what they go with. How can they determine, whether to accept charges, with minimal information, provided, by a LEO on the street? I guess, it all depends on where the dart lands, as to whether you will go to jail or not.

No wonder Houston has so many problems. I have never heard, of having to contact the DA office before making an arrest. It completely ties the hands of the police. It also, strips them of their stated powers, and duties as Texas LEO. If the DA doesn't want to file charges, fine, but let that process take place after an arrest.
