The only way that the case wouldn't go to the grand jury is if the DA felt there was enough compelling evidence to go to trial without the endictment. Since the county DA is an elected position, not a one of them in Texas would allow a shooter to walk without some process involved. Even if it's crystal clear to everyone even remotely involved, the DA will let the grand jury do the dirty work.
sorry cajun you are incorrect, a shooting does not always involk the grand jury. A death by shooting yes but not just a shooting, nor are you always arrested for shooting a person. the police begin the investigation and reccomend to the DA on what they have found, then the DA decides what direction to go, but none of the things you are stating are absolutes.
