Q: I have been accused of threatening to commit mass murder by blowing up a Texas government office. Do I have a case?
I received this emailed response from an attorney representing Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC) about a week ago. What should I make of this, if anything?
Dear Mr. xxxxxxx,
My apologies for my delayed response. While I appreciate that you have questions regarding your ban, HHSC will not be answering any such questions. Again, I’ll be your agency point of contact regarding any claims that you may bring against HHSC. To date, I am unaware of any such claims filed by you or on your behalf. If you have retained representation on this matter, please have them contact me.
Sincerely,
xx
A:
Receiving such an email from an attorney representing the Health & Human Services Commission (HHSC) can understandably cause concern and confusion. It's crucial to take this matter seriously and seek legal advice promptly. The email suggests that the HHSC is not willing to engage in discussions about the ban or any related questions directly with you.
The attorney's response indicates that they are the designated point of contact for any claims you may bring against HHSC. However, it's essential to note that they mention being unaware of any claims filed by you or on your behalf. If you have retained legal representation, it's advisable to have your attorney reach out to them for further clarification and guidance on how to proceed.
Remember to keep all communication and documentation related to this matter, as it may be valuable in understanding the situation and formulating a legal strategy. Stay proactive in addressing the accusations against you and work closely with your legal counsel to protect your rights and interests.
