More details to this question:
Closed Account.... I have a woodforest bank account in the past I had one that is now closed, I made an honest mistake and made a deposit and cashed a check into my credit union out of the account that was closed. I have done a wire transfer from my other account that actually had the money in it but for some reason it has not taken place yet and i can not withdraw the funds bc the wire is already in process, well the credit union called me thursday and said she is sending it to the DA office and im sure charges will be filed, what can I do. Im honestly trying to take care of this.

If you make the transfer in a timely fashion (i.e. as fast as possible) the DA may potentially decide not to pick up the charge. If the DA does decide to pick up the charge you will unfortunately be forced to fight the case in court. Keep all the documentation you have with regards the old closed account, and the new account, and the deposit, and the wire transfer, and anything else that has any connection to this situation. Generally, the State has to prove there was some fraudulent intent, or intent to steal (depending upon what crime they charge you with). If you can demonstratte you made every effort to correct what is otherwise an honest mistake, the DA's may dismiss the case after it's filed, or a jury may acquit you of the charge, if it gets that far.
