*If Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant thought his mama-slapping case was being put aside by Texas authorities, he’s in for a surprise.
Charges alleging domestic violence filed against Bryant will not be dismissed, according to Dallas County district attorney Craig Watkins.
Watkins’ office confirmed to ESPNdallas.com on Wednesday that it has accepted the Class A misdemeanor family violence charges from the DeSoto Police Department and the case is under review.
Earlier Wednesday, Watkins told The Dallas Morning News at a speaking engagement that his office will decide the proper way to move forward regarding the prosecution of Bryant. The charges stem from a July 14 disturbance in which Bryant was accused of slapping his mother, Angela Bryant, in the face with his cap.
However, Angela Bryant told authorities in late July that she did not want to pursue charges.
“We have victims every day that file affidavits of non-prosecution,” Watkins told the Dallas Morning News. “We take those into consideration but we take other issues into consideration, too … so that’s just one element of the prosecution that we consider.”

Wow…silly me, I fully expected to see dude’s funeral announcement when I opened the story.
I would like to think I wouldn’t have to spend too much time in jail, if my daughters were stupid enough to try that.
I think that is his mother in the video above… Hmmm a call to 911 saying he is trying to kill me!
Bruising seen by police on the woman….
Unfortunately his mom may have seen this violence in him before. He was so out of control that he got physical? He needs a wake up call!
I hope they make it a punishment that really gets his attention!
Wow…my mother and grandmother would have stomped my ass to salt had I even THOUGHT of putting hands on them and I’m 46 but regardless, who in their right mind would EVER entertain the thought of physically putting your hands on your Moms…SMH
He got the wrong Mama I would of knocked him out with anything
I could get my hands on…the nerve!!!! He would of got up leaking!!!
I ani’t never had a child of mine raise a hand @ me much longer
