They never told me I had to sign anything. I gave them notice. They also accepted my keys. I’m not longer in Texas. They are now emailing me saying I owe them 60 days rent and they cannot accept keys before hand yet they already did.
answered on Jul 7, 2021
You may want to send them a copy of your notice, along with written confirmation of when the keys were turned in. Hang onto a copy of the lease, your notice, and evidence of paying rent, as you may need these to defend a claim against you for the unpaid rent.
Mid year, I withdrew my daughter from a private catholic school in Texas. I did so for personal reasons that didn’t involve her behavior or conduct. I enrolled her in public school and she finished the year with straight A’s. Early June I received an email from the schools soccer coach inviting... View More

Private entities, like the school, can invite or disinvite whoever they want, for good reasons or bad.

Sorry, your question is undecipherable. However, I can tell you that you do not have a claim for your own wrongful death, because you are still alive.

No. people staying in hotels are guests, not tenants, and do not acquire any additional rights just by being there for a period of time.
I foster (now used to foster) for a 501c3 dog rescue group. A dog was posted that needed a foster and I went and picked up from the ex-owner that was surrendering her. HOWEVER, the surrender form was never signed. The rescue wanted to give it to another foster that I did not believe it was the best... View More

On the facts stated, probably the original owner is still the owner. Paying for veterinary care doesn't change the ownership.
If I sold someone a dog and we agreed on payment every 2 weeks and payments are not being made on time but once down to last $350 payment doesn't pay on date agreed upon can I get the dog back
answered on Jul 6, 2021
It depends on the terms of the agreement, but without a written agreement that gives you a security interest in the dog to secure payment, you can't. Your only remedy would be to sue in the Justice of the Peace court for the unpaid balance.
Was given an appointment for sept 23 and I'm trying to teach my son to drive before he leaves for school in August. I'm unable to sit and wait hours because of my job How is everything else open but public service
answered on Jul 6, 2021
Everything is open except "public service" (aka government jobs) because they make the rules. Welcome to government. You can teach your son to drive without them, but you'll need to deal with DPS to get him a license. The good news is that if he's old enough to drive,... View More
There is two properties. One where the diseased reside and the other on county road where he had a business. Is the surviving spouse entitled to life estate on both properties?
answered on Jul 2, 2021
As with most things, it depends.
If the deceased person was married with children, And the real estate is separate property, Then the surviving spouse gets a life estate in 1/3 of All the separate property real estate.
If the real estate is community property, And all the children... View More

While giving the dog away was wrong, apparently this person has had the dog since 2009 - 12 years, or most of the dog's life. Get a divorce or don't but I think the time for arguing about who has the dog has long passed.
Aunt wants me evicted. Mom wants me to stay.

The property owners (your mother and aunt) both have rights to use the property, which include the right to lease it out. If there's a written lease, that will govern who can evict you and why. If there's not, you're a month to month tenant, and the oral lease agreement can be... View More
The person is my daughters aren't I already have file two police reports and she's currently doing thingsI
answered on Jun 29, 2021
If she's doing things that are a crime, you start by calling the police. The District Attorney will determine whether charges will be filed.
that case the judge dismissed it only to come home and find a three day evitction notice taped to my door from the same attorney what do I do now
answered on Jun 29, 2021
It's not clear how the cases are related, but if you've gotten an eviction notice, you're going to want to 1) plan on moving, 2) see if you can work things out with the landlord, or 3) go to court to try to fight the eviction. Your description does not provide enough information to... View More

If she was awarded the car, she can use it for any purpose she wants, even if the lender won't allow a change on the title until the loan is paid off.
We lived in an apartment on a lease that ended 4/23. We renewed on 2/31 for 6 months, which starts on 4/24. We decided that we were moving out on 4/20 and canceled the renewed lease in writing on 4/20. We also informed them in writing that we were going on MTM lease and this is our 30 day notice...

Sorry, but it sounds like you Did terminate early. After the renewal, the lease was supposed to run through October, and you terminated in May. Changing your mind after you sign the renewal, doesn't get you out of the renewal, even if you tell them before the renewal term was to start.
She was facing a tax foreclosure, (she had reason to believe her ex paid it before being arrested last year).

Sorry, being 58, single, unemployed, and/or pressured to sign a contract will not get you out of the contract.

While you should get copies of everything you sign, not receiving a copy won't get you out of the obligations.
this rock was part of some kind of thing that was built on the ground to make a platform. I did not build this it was already built. Can i file under the homeowners insurance policy because i was badly injured?
answered on Jun 21, 2021
Your homeowners insurance covers your liability if someone is injured on your property. It does not cover you for injuries to yourself; that would be covered by your health insurance.
Can a company do that legally? I noticed that I have been paying for years and I noticed that the balance owed on the house was not going down. After the interest was paid they doubled my note, I am about to lose the house because I can't afford the payment of $1586.29.
answered on Jun 21, 2021
It sounds like you and the lender agreed to a modification that would allow you to pay interest only for a period of time, and now that the period is over, they want you to make up the payments, which is why the monthly payment is increased.
It's not at all clear what you originally... View More
So summer 2020 I signed a lease for a college apt. I decided it was a better financial decision for me not to move in and the apartment company refused to cancel the lease since it was a legal document. However I told them weeks before move in me, nor my co applicant (my mom) could afford it. I... View More

The landlord has an obligation to try to find a new tenant, and you're not liable after they do. (It's not clear to me what the $4425 represents.) If you owe the money and can't pay, they can sue you and your mother, and get a judgment against you both for the amount due, plus... View More
I rent a room under a verbal contract. I've been told to vacate. This is sudden and leaves me in a terrible position. I'll be on the street because of this. Is there any law to protect me from this?
answered on Jun 21, 2021
If you rent the room on a month to month basis, they have to give you 30 days notice of non-renewal. If the oral agreement is week to week, they would only need to give you a week's notice of non-renewal. If you've breached the agreement in some way, the notice period can be 3 days.
