Terms Used In Texas Government Code 302.022

  • Complaint: A written statement by the plaintiff stating the wrongs allegedly committed by the defendant.
  • Indictment: The formal charge issued by a grand jury stating that there is enough evidence that the defendant committed the crime to justify having a trial; it is used primarily for felonies.

Each prosecution under this subchapter must be brought by indictment rather than by complaint and information.
