Stand with Marlana: Urgent Legal and Family Support A Direct Message from Marlana Yvette Christopher To my friends, supporters, and everyone who believes in truth, justice, and family protection: My name is Marlana Yvette Christopher. Today—Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM—I am stepping into a Collin County, Texas courtroom facing an unprecedented State Jail Felony charge under Texas Penal Code § 25.03 (Interference with Child Custody). I am facing this charge not because I committed a crime, but because I fulfilled my absolute, law-mandated duty as a mother: I protected my 12-year-old daughter, Moriah, from documented physical abuse, strangulation injuries, and severe medical neglect. I am writing this GoFundMe campaign directly in my own voice because my freedom, my children, and my ability to continue fighting for my family are under immediate, systemic threat. I cannot carry the financial weight of five simultaneous, high-stakes legal battles in Texas and Oklahoma alone anymore. I humbly ask for your urgent help today. The Immediate Crisis: Abandoned by Defense Counsel & Sustaining Active Legal Harm Despite being assigned a Collin County court-appointed attorney on August 4, 2026—with an explicit directive from Indigent Defense that he contact me the same or next day—as of 7:00 AM today, August 12, 2026, I have received ZERO communication, phone calls, or emails from my appointed defense counsel. Because my appointed attorney failed to consult with me or file critical pre-appearance motions prior to this 9:00 AM setting, I am already sustaining active legal harm and prejudice. I am being forced to walk into court today without essential filings already on the docket, including: Motion to Dismiss based on Statutory Necessity (Tex. Penal Code § 25.03c & § 9.22): Texas law explicitly provides a safe harbor when a parent acts out of urgent necessity to protect a child from imminent harm. Motion to Dismiss for Prosecutorial Misconduct & Entrapment: The Collin County District Attorney’s Office met with me personally twice since my November 2024 arrest (as recently as May 2026). They explicitly acknowledged the danger to my daughter, advised me to protect her, and confirmed no active warrants or cases existed against me. Yet, they turned around and secretly indicted me on the very actions they advised me to take. Evidentiary Exposure of Aggravated Perjury: Publicly released audio recordings already prove that the Collin County DA’s Office is aware that the arrest warrant affidavit from The Colony Police Department (Denton County) is built on false statements and aggravated perjury. Prior Declination to Prosecute: The Denton County District Attorney’s Office previously reviewed these exact same facts and Declined to Prosecute me. A Decade of Retaliation and Systemic Bias For twelve years—since I stood up to corrupt figures in Collin County in 2014—I have been denied an unbiased trial in Collin and Denton counties. When two other parents repeatedly violated child custody orders against me, Texas 25.03 enforcement was flatly denied to me. When explicit murder threats against me were acknowledged by judges in open court, those threats were quietly erased from official proceeding records. The timeline of this current felony indictment reveals an undeniable pattern of retaliation: The Grand Jury Indictment materialized immediately after I perfected an active family court appeal involving four Collin County District Court judges and a ten-year record of proceedings. The March 2026 Warrant was generated shortly after I publicly exposed a local hospital for withholding my daughter's traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurological records to cover up severe wrongdoing against a child. The July 30th/31st "Arrest Trap" Email ordering me to court was sent just 48 hours after I publicly posted that two Collin County court reporters were in contempt of an active Dallas 5th Court of Appeals mandate ordering the production of missing trial transcripts. I did not interfere with child custody; I protected my daughter from life-threatening harm, as mandated by Texas Penal Code § 22.04 (Injury to a Child by Omission). What Is at Stake for Me and My Family If Collin County succeeds in unjustly convicting me of a felony for protecting my daughter, the consequences will destroy everything I have built and fought for: My Freedom: I face up to two years of imprisonment as a 46-year-old mother with zero prior criminal record. My Constitutional & Civil Rights: A felony conviction will permanently strip away my Second Amendment right to self-defense (during high-stakes litigation involving death threats), my right to vote, and my eligibility to serve in public capacities. My Finances & Reputation: Unjust criminal prosecution threatens my professional livelihood, consulting work, and business platforms. My Parent-Child Relationship: Most importantly, it extrajudicially severs my access to my 12-year-old daughter, Moriah, who desperately needs her protective mother. The $85,000–$100,000 Need: How Your Support Will Be Used I am currently managing five major legal battles across Texas and Oklahoma simultaneously as a mother of five.
