If I invite someone into my house even tho I don’t pay rent it’s my moms house can they still get into trouble if they were told to not come back by my mom.

answered on Apr 12, 2022
This is a sticky situation. If you live at the house, you can invite anyone to come see you. However, I would not expect them to "hang out" at the house. You would need them to only stay in your room. Thus, they can come pick you up, or visit you in private, but to do so is asking for... Read more »

What you are asking is a very complicated question. If you are acting as a fiduciary for investors you will need a license to do so in Texas. The way around that is to have investors become partners with you on a deay by deal basis. You would need to carefully set-up a different company for each... Read more »

In Texas most mortgages are secured by a Note, a mortgage, and a Deed of Trust. Unfortunately, that allows the Bank to forclose without going to court. That letter they sent you is for real! Do NOT ignore it.
Your only real legal move is to file a lawsuit against the Bank to STOP the... Read more »

My daughter moved and on the rental history from the previous property management they stated 'unauthorized service animal' her dog is a certified Emotional Support Animal.

answered on Mar 21, 2022
It is hard to understand what your issue is. If your daughter has moved out, then she no longer has a legal relationship with the landlord. If she was evicted because of false representations by the landlord, that is a different issue.
Yes, it is unlawful to evict, reject, or charge for a... Read more »

It is hard to tell what your question is. Nevertheless, it seems like you want to know if you can un-do what has happened to you.
If the house has been sold at a foreclosure auction by the Bank, that is one scenario. If the AG has sold your property for past-due child support, that is a... Read more »
I got a warning from a TPWD Game Warden for no hunter's safety certificate. I was told to email proof of completion to the local judge and the issue would be resolved, i wouldn't have to appear in court (I have already done so). There is a handwritten appearance date at the bottom, what do I do?

answered on Mar 21, 2022
Your question is a bit confusing.
It sounds like you received a Warning from the Officer, with the condition that you send your proof of the safety class to the judge. You then seem to say you went to court as noticed. So if you did not yet go to court, then you need to send your proof of... Read more »
My ex-wife was caught lying to a judge a few years ago regarding violating an order of protection against her then-boyfriend.

You can request the transcript of the proceedings wherein your ex lied to the court. Because you were a party to the former proceeding, you are entitled to get it. However, not every court has every proceeding recorded in Texas. You should make sure there is such transcript first. Then you can... Read more »

answered on Mar 13, 2022
I can tell you that whether or not you can enforce the buyer rep agreement depends on the exact language in the agreement. The fact that the buyers want to change the terms or their obligations, means nothing if they breach the agreement you both signed. Many new builders, insist on a certain... Read more »

A good lawyer can review your evidence and tell you the value and whether or not it is admissible as evidence. Whether or not something is admissible often depends on what purpose or what theory of the case you are trying to prove.
I hope this helps.

answered on Mar 3, 2022
Your situation is not simple. To give you solid advice on what to do I would need more information. Did your Aunt recently pass-away? How did you receive the property? Was it through a court proceeding?
If you paid all the taxes for the past 10 years alone, then you are in the power... Read more »

You can try. But I guarantee when you return to this country, you will be arrested.
The reason I say you can try is because I don't believe the PP application asks if you have any warrants. The Government does do a background search on you as part of your PP application. Not all... Read more »
