I would say that is not typical. You can call the court where he case is pending, ask a court coordinator and request the lawyer be appointed w/o further delay. Good luck.

I am sorry but you will need to speak with someone to give the factual details but this is not a forum that you should use. The best advise I can offer is to contact the Texas Workforce Commission, (TWC) the regulating agency for employers. Considering all the hours you work along with pay, if you... View More
20 year honorable Naval career?
answered on Jan 9, 2020
No, sorry. I agree that your naval career should account for positive point but Texas is an at will employment state so it is very difficult to "make" an employer hire you.
We do serve alcohol but we know you must be 18. We serve ice cream and they would serve some or wipe down tables/sweep. It’s just on weekends for a few hours.

If the 11/12 year old is your child, they can work but the type of work is limited as are the hours. See below. As for alcohol, believe it or not, if a minor is within eyesight of parent or guardian they can actually drink but to serve such beverages I think they must be 21.

Unfortunately you do not provide much information, but if private property was damaged when tampering with the surveillance there could be a criminal charge for the damages. The level of the charge would depend on the costs of the damage. I hope this helps.

Can deputy be fired for non-compliance?
answered on Dec 30, 2019
Thanks for your question. Texas is an "at will" employment state, meaning employees can be fired for any reason at all, as long as it is not for a Constitutionally protected right (i.e. race, religion...). As for requiring a deputy to purchase their own uniforms, yes, just as nurses must... View More

I believe so (my wife said yes) but it must be a certified service dog that has current registration and training. If the dog poses a threat for some reason I am sure it would be excluded. You should be able to ask the court you plan to attend.
