The case is reviewed by an experienced felony prosecutor assigned to the Grand Jury Division. If that prosecutor determines the case should be accepted for prosecution, the case will be filed in a county court at law, if it is a misdemeanor case, or sent to the Grand Jury Division if it is a felony. The prosecutor may reject the case or send it back to the filing agency for more information.
When the Grand Jury Division receives the case, the prosecutor in charge of that Division will determine when to schedule the case for consideration by the grand jury. The grand jury will either return an indictment or no-bill the case. You may be required to testify before the grand jury. If the case is indicted, the indictment is filed with the appropriate district court.
