First, seeing a contract alone does not necessarily mean that the other party agreed to its terms. If I receive and read your contract, I will be aware of its terms, but that does not mean that I agreed to them. The lack of a signature indicating assent to the terms is going to be a problem. It...

I don't see how you can recover the full cost of the roof back. But, if you prove those facts, you likely can recover the vent repair costs, doctor's bills and court fees. I would recommend small claims court since you indicate those damages are under $20,000.

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to discuss with a local attorney, what you describe sounds like it would be a difficult case. I believe it could be challenging to get a law firm to consider handling something like this on a... View More

It depends on whether the girl has sufficient minimum contacts with the State of Texas such that the exercise of personal jurisdiction over her does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. This is the legal "test" that enables a court of one state to exercise... View More

No, as long as you were current on all of your payments.
