Well, I went to renew my Texas drivers license today and was told that I can’t because of this ticket. How in the world do I even address this? What’s that statute of limitations?

A warrant in a traffic case will cause an OJW hold on your license. You will simply need to resolve the outstanding ticket. If you retain a Colorado attorney, they can file a motion asking to vacate the warrant and schedule the case for appearance and resolve the ticket. The clearing of the... View More 
While I was away on official military orders, my work paid me 100% pay but said that they would take my "military base pay" upon return. However, I never signed anything and they are now expecting a $9,000+ repayment after returning. Is this something they can do if I never signed any agreement?

Your situation sounds frustrating. If you never signed an agreement specifying that your employer could take back your military base pay, they may not have the legal right to demand repayment. Employment agreements usually need clear, written consent for such terms to be enforceable.

The real question is was the property subject to the division order when you got divorced or not. If not, then you may be able to pursue a partition action to force the sale of the property. If so, then you may need to follow the court's order and follow up with contempt proceedings. Either... View More

I have a patreon where I transcribe scenes (movies, television, video games, etc...) for actors to practice with. Would it be legal for me to add a link to a 30s-60s clip of the scene for reference if its unlisted-demonetized on youtube? Also, does the use of overseas media change anything?

You should probably contact an eviction attorney.
You do not need a written lease to evict a Tenant. While rare, oral leases still exist. That said, you still need to follow the proper termination procedure.

Receiving a notice to vacate the property within ten days can be alarming, especially if the notice is unsigned and lacks proper formality. It's important to understand your rights as a tenant, even if your housing is tied to your previous employment.

Probably the best way to answer this question is to say that medical malpractice attorneys always prefer to have the autopsy report.
I have a deposition approaching can I ask which questions will be asked ahead of time?

It depends. If it is a true oral disposition then anything is fair game. Your attorney may object but you are still required to answer the question. Objections are typically resolved after the fact.
That being said, there are very limited instances where your attorney may stop the... View More

A Colorado attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Yes, it would be better for your attorney to find out from you, rather than to be confronted with the information in court for the first time. Good luck

I'm sorry you're going through this difficult situation. Since you are 18 and your mom bought the phone for you when you were 17, it complicates things slightly. However, if the phone was a gift, you may have a claim to it.
First, gather any evidence that the phone was given to... View More

While age of consent laws vary between jurisdictions, engaging in a relationship with someone under 18, especially with a significant age gap, is generally not advisable regardless of location.
