Texas Homicide Attorney
Houston Murder Defense Lawyer.
Facing Murder Charges in Texas?
Murder charges are among the most serious criminal offenses prosecuted in Texas. A conviction can lead to life in prison, decades behind bars, and permanent damage to every part of your future. When someone is accused of murder, investigators and prosecutors begin building a case immediately, often long before the defense has an opportunity to respond.
Cases involving homicide allegations are rarely simple. Prosecutors may rely on witness statements, forensic evidence, cellphone records, surveillance footage, or statements made during police questioning. In some investigations, important facts are overlooked early, evidence is incomplete, or law enforcement reaches conclusions before the full story is known.
Andre L. Ligon has practiced law since 1996 and has extensive courtroom experience handling serious felony matters in Texas courts. His background in both criminal and civil trial work brings a practical, aggressive approach to defending clients facing high-stakes charges.
Serious Felony Defense in Houston.
Murder investigations often move quickly and attract immediate pressure from law enforcement and prosecutors seeking an arrest or indictment. Early legal representation can be critical when protecting constitutional rights, challenging evidence, and controlling how a case develops from the start.
Every case requires close examination of the facts, police procedures, witness credibility, and forensic evidence. Defense strategies may involve challenging identifications, questioning investigative methods, reviewing self-defense claims, or exposing weaknesses in the State’s theory of the case.
