Rules of evidence and procedure will apply in county court for the appeal of an eviction, but jury trials are problematic now. Check with the court to see how your court is handling them.

If you are a minor (under 18 years old), then yes, they can do that. You might even find it worthwhile.

No. A partition is for the division - usually by sale - of certain property, usually real estate.
I can't think of a good reason to remove your name from the title of a car other than having sold it - if that's the case, there's a form you can use to report the sale to the... View More
She didn’t know he was married. No threats or abusive language was used. He tends to lie to I wanted her to know he was married. Again she did not.

The fact that she's uncomfortable doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Just leave her alone and don't worry about it.
Also has been scratching at the door for almost 6 hours now. Any other day, they don't care about her. I feed her and water her and pick the ticks off her. I bring her inside when its snowing and raining and super cold or super hot and she just usually roams free. Is there anything I can do?

You could offer to adopt the dog - it doesn't sound like they'll miss her.
Alternatively, there are several places you can report animal abuse:

My Birth-Certificate from my Birth country still shows I am married to my Ex American Wife. My Divorce was final in 2016.

I'm fairly certain you weren't married at birth, so I don't understand the premise of the question, but a certified copy of a divorce decree should be enough to resolve any question of your marital status.

The short answer is no, that won't get you out of your lease.

You filed as married, and you were married. Nothing inappropriate there. Even after the divorce petition is filed, you're still married until there is a final divorce decree. The stimulus payment is community property and you can spend it however you wish. Your soon-to-be ex's... View More
Also, does Texas have limited civil? What is the fee for this type of case?
Haven't found information online at the county courts site as of yet.
answered on Feb 2, 2021
I think you're talking about a small claims case (Texas does not have a category called "limited civil." Small Claims cases are filed in the Justice of the Peace court, for the area where the defendant lives, or where the contract was performed. The jurisdictional limit is now... View More
Tha property is landlocked and is in a bay gall. It was up for auction at the courthouse and we paid the taxes and voided the auction. I kept paying all of the taxes all of these years. Can I get a deed?
answered on Feb 1, 2021
Maybe. Who is in possession of the property? Did you have any agreement with the family members? Who is on the deed? Did you make any improvements to the property?
It's possible you would qualify for title by adverse possession, but that requires a suit against all the title... View More
Thank you

Can you be arrested? Apparently so. I think what you really mean to ask is whether they can make the charges stick. I'm changing the category to criminal law. Call a criminal defense lawyer immediately and stop posting anything at all about this incident on the internet.
In Texas, my contract with current tenant expired in December 2019. After that, we have been doing month to month agreement. Then Covid hit us and they stopped to pay rent since September 2020. They submitted us a declaration that they meet all the moratorium standards. So that will banned us to... View More

You could just avoid the problem entirely - terminate the month to month lease, and then evict them because there is no lease.
I have severe erosion under my rear fence which is the subdivision perimeter. The subdivision was developed 20 years ago and done with improper terracing around the sudivision.

Sorry, the original developer isn't going to be responsible for something happening 20 years after they finished the development. The HOA may or may not be responsible - review the deed restrictions to determine their authority and responsibilities. It could be that this is something the... View More
Debtor says he'll file bankruptcy & we won't get anything. True?
answered on Jan 27, 2021
If you have a judgment and don't try to collect by seizing assets, what was the point of getting the judgment?
What many debtors who threaten bankruptcy (and their creditors) don't understand is that if the asset is exempt, they're going to keep it whether they file... View More

Was the agent negligent? Sounds like it. But at this point it's not clear what your damages are. If they fix the problem, you won't have any damages. No damages means no claim against the agent.
I am paying rent month-to-month. My lease ended in August 2020, but stipulated under terms: "In the event the landlord accepts new rent from the tenant after the termination date, a month-to-month tenancy shall be created." It further says that I need to provide 45 days' written... View More
answered on Jan 27, 2021
Sounds like there is a conflict in the terms of the lease about whether you have to give 15 days or 45 days notice to terminate. So, you have a choice: 1) give 15 days notice and risk having to argue later about whether you've properly terminated; 2) give 45 days notice and know for sure... View More
Back in 2006 in Illinois I appeared in court, and let the lawyer know I did not believe the debt was mine. I did not know what the debt was for, who it was owed to, etc. I was told they would look into it, and did not hear back again. I assumed they realized it was an error (wrong person). Fast...

I have no idea what "PCS'd to a new state" means.
If you have debt collectors hounding you, they should be able to provide you with information about the judgment, which you can then try to verify with the court that issued the judgment.

File your response in the active case. Most likely, they filed the new motion as a new case, and it was transferred back to the original court, which will hear everything.
