I hope I'm missing something here but we have a situation where an individual pretended to be a federal law enforcement agent and tried to get someone to submit to his pretended official authority. It appears that section 37.11 won't cover this since "public servant" is defined as an officer, employee, or agent of government. "Government" seems to cover only state, county, municipal, etc., not the federal government. Please tell me I'm missing something... I don't think I can get the feds interested if it's only a federal crime.

I think you are right. What about PC Sec. 37.12, which is only a Class B but gies you something to charge?

It, too, would also depend on how this person acted. The federal elements are diffferent than the state elements for imperssonation. What are the circumstances and I could give you a better response?

Thanks, Ken. That might work.

RTC, can you email me with a phone #? distattorney@co.liberty.tx.us. I'd rather not put a lot of details on a public forum. Thanks.
