Yes, you can be in serious trouble even if you turn yourself in.

First, you must speak with a local experienced defense lawyer before meeting with the police. The police are going to take your statement, and then forward the case to the prosecutor. Anything you tell the police can and will be used against you. Turning yourself in the next day is NOT a defense to any crime in Texas. It's unclear why you were running from the police. But do NOT post any further information on AVVO. This forum is not confidential.

Instead, start interviewing local defense lawyers to assist.

You need to retain a Dallas, TX criminal defense attorney before speaking with the police.

This is a potential criminal matter and you may be charged with leaving the scene of an accident and any other charges that might apply.

I suggest that you retain a criminal defense attorney in your area before speaking further with the police.
