It's hard to know your status right now. Meaning that I do not know if you are on probation right now or if you are concerned with a new charge.
If you are on probation, and need to detox, or other kind of help, your lawyer can make a motion to alter or change the details of your... View More

Sorry to hear about your LL problems.
There is no such thing as a rental deed. It's either a lease or an agreement to rent living space in TX.
The terms of any lease in TX, can be made or changed by the Landlord "LL" and Tenant, as long as BOTH agree. If you pay extra... View More
I made a purchase and used PayPal to pay for it. I never received the item, so I contacted the company I purchased goods from. The company issued a refund through PayPal, but PayPal is refusing to release the funds back to me.

The answer to your question is in your user agreement you accepted when you signed-on with PayPal. If PayPal has sent you an email, or letter telling you they are not giving you a refund, I would need to see that to give you solid legal advice.
PayPal is obligated to give you a refund if... View More

Your questions are complicated and hard to answer without seeing your Divorce Decree, and other deeds and filings on the property, prior to your Decree.
The short answer: No. A divorce decree does not transfer ownership or title to land. You need to get your ex to execute a deed, or you... View More
My current living arrangements for my probation in Arizona have become life threatening. I need to transfer my probabtion to Texas but I have some probation violations and I worry that may lead to a denial of transfer.

The first problem you will have, is what you already pointed out. It is unwise to ask for, or demand a change in your Probation, when you have failed to fully comply with your terms of probation.
Nevertheless, if you can show PROOF, that your life or health is under a clear and present... View More

I'm not sure you have all the facts straight. I mean no disrespect.
A police officer does not have the power or authority to demolish any house anywhere. A city may demolish a house inside its limits, but only after Due process.
I have seen towns and cities demolish houses... View More

The best way to prevent a judgment on a mortgage, you guaranteed, is to pay what is due.
If the bank has sent you the default letter, and has requested and demanded an acceleration of the note, making the whole amount due, it will be sold at auction soon.

Being a Felon is a burden. To answer your question: "Can I do anything about my felonies?", I would have to see your court records. Some felonies can be expunged, or removed from your records. However, that is available in very few situations. If you pled Guilty, and there was no... View More

NO!
The police do not have to enforce laws. While it is the job of the police to enforce criminal laws, you can not force them to do so. I know it sounds crazy, but that is the law. The only time a police officer must act, is when a "Special Relationship" has been established.... View More
