Getting Charges Dropped

Full Conversation

I'm trying to get the charges on my boyfriend dropped picked up by the state.
Hello ****. To guide you better, could you please tell me in which state this case is happening?
Texas
To have charges dropped, your boyfriend's attorney should present a strong defense. The state's attorney has final word. Note:
- Private citizens can't drop charges
- A 'No Contact Order' may be issued, violating it could lead to more charges
- A good lawyer can negotiate with the state's attorney
For more advice, contact a local attorney.
