Texas Felony - NOT ME - never been to TX I have lived in Michigan my entire life. About 5 years ago I discovered that not only did I have a criminal charge in Texas, but a felony. I’ve never been to Texas a day in my life but here I am with a felony for theft and failure to ID. I did recall a childhood associate who moved to Texas and he was known to be a thief. I assumed it was him. I didn’t know where to start so I let things drag.   About a year and a half ago, I reached out to Dallas Sheriff’s department to explain what happened. I was asked to obtain fingerprints from my local sheriff's office and a copy of my driver’s license. Dallas County Sheriff's Department sent me a letter as proof my identity was used. I was also told that they will work on removing the charges from my record. Since I wasn’t a resident of Texas, I wouldn’t have to appear.   “*A comparison of the petitioners fingerprints with the fingerprints of the person who was arrested and charged with the above listed offense indicates that the petitioner is not the person who was arrested and charged with this offense. This letter will verify that the petitioner is not the same person as the person who was arrested and charged with the above listed offense. The person arrested apparently used the petitioner identity when that person was arrested, thus creating the appearance that the petitioner was the person charged in the offense, when in fact petitioner was not. Should you need this information verified, please call the Dallas County Sheriff's Department, Identification Section at (214) 653-2672*.”   Although I didn’t understand how I would be charged once they realized the criminal wasn’t truthful about his identity. I thought I knew this person, but apparently I do not. What I do know is that he’s a repeat offender and should have criminal record including his fingerprints. I was just happy to finally get this taken care of and grateful for the deputy’s help at the Sheriff’s office.   T
