Can I a parent file a habeas corpus on the behalf of my son who is a inmate
There are several types of writ of habeas corpus. Generally, a person who feels that they are being improperly confined may file a writ. `
is additional legislation neccesary to deal with appeals and habeas corpus claims?
habeas corpus
If you are being held in jail without being charged, or any movement taking place on yoru case, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus with the court which will force the court to review your case and your circumstances, to see what the delay is.
yesAdded: Not exactly. While someone other than the incarcerated individual may file a writ of habeus corpus, the person filing the writ must have some type of legal "standing" in order to do so (e.g.: their attorney, relative, personal friend, business partner, etc) Some member of the general public can not simply walk in off the street and submit a writ for any prisoner in the jail.
If you are wanting to file an 11.07 writ of habeas corpus, the form is located on the Court of Criminal Appeals website. I believe all prison libraries in Texas also have paper copies available. You must use the form exactly. If you are filing a different type of writ, you will just apply by writing a motion.

If this is in the US and they did not come get you. You file a Habeas Corpus demanding your release and a motion for the dismissal of the case against you on the grounds that the victim has surely abandoned the case. The evidence being that they did not retrieve you from the place of incarceration. The Habeas Corpus will contain these same bodies of evidence.Clarification of the above answer: You would file a Writ of Habeus Corpus for your release with the jurisdiction that is holding you.As for filing any further actions with the court regarding "abandoned" charges, you would have to file them in the state of the origin or the charges, NOT with the state that held you for extradition. The state that held you for extradition has no jurisdiction to dismiss the criminal charges of another state.
File a Writ of Habeus Corpus.
He just needs to go to the law library and draft his petition.
Because they think it will help them gain release from their state prison sentence if they tie up the criminal justice system and courts by continually demanding that the state show just legal cause why they are imprisoned. It's a game they play... after all, what else do they have to do with their time?
