However, it is unusual not to have an arraignment date. I suggest you hire an attorney or check with your bondsman

If you do not like your court appointed attorney you are free to hire your own attorney at any time. IT sounds like you are charged with criminal mischief. The punishment level is based on the amount of loss claimed by the owner of the damage property. If the value of the damage is more than $1500 then it can be a felony charge if less than $1500 then it can be charged as a misdemeanor. The court appointed attorney is correct the State can proceed to trial based only on the testimony of one...

How can I make bond?

There is nothing you can do about the bond amount at this point. The reason it is set at $50,000 is the State is requesting an emergency protective order be placed on you. Once you are arrested the Judge will issue the order and your bond will be reduced, usually to around $1000 (depending on your criminal history). I suggest before you do anything you consult a criminal defense attorney to advise you on the best course of action. Posting a bond in this situation is tricky so a lawyers...

Why does my family member who is on probation for 2 cases in Fort Bend County show 3 cases on the docket?

In Fort Bend County the District Clerk will create a cause number with a "A" at the end when a writ, or motion to reduce bond is filed but the criminal case is not yet indicted. If he was placed on Deferred adjudication probation for 2 cases he will only have to answer for those cases. You should not worry about any old case. With his name and date of birth or his cause numbers I can search specifically for him on the Fort Bend data base and give you a definite answer on what he is facing...

This is a civil demand letter the only option Walmart has if you refuse to pay it is to file suit against you in small claims court. Since no police came out to the store it sounds like no one was charged with theft. There are no criminal consequences for not paying the demand
