Your friend's best legal move is to petition the District court to be emancipated. That is relatively easy if she can get at least one of her parents to sign for her application.
In answer to your question, I don't believe CPS would try to grab her, but technically, without being... View More

So, for example, if you moved in on the 6th of a month, and your monthly rent is $1,900, the rent for the first month might be prorated... View More

As a rule, Texas courts won’t destroy anything in an open court case.
If my criminal defense attorney is stalling and exhibiting neglectful, inadequate and incompetent conduct can I file motions, writs and other actions or documents in my own case? I have filed a grievance but I need some immediate action to preserve my rights to a fair trial.

He continuous to ask me if I would take a deal even though, he stated that he was going to file for a... View More

It sounds to me like he is using the threat of a motion to dismiss (which will not necessarily be granted) as leverage in plea bargain negotiations.
If he files the motion to dismiss and ultimately prevails, you win.

i left my backpack in the bathroom an admin found it and searched it i was told there was no probabale cause other then a random bag in the bathroom
answered on Mar 1, 2023
It depends on whether the search was reasonable under the circumstances. I can think of several reasons why it might have been reasonable, including:
