You haven't asked a question. If you are able to cure every disease then you should get a patent as soon as possible.
My dad is in the hospital and has a tentative discharge date for next week where he will he is supposed to be sent home and we will take care of him. The hospital told us they will give us adequate time to train us to take care of him at home, but when I ask them if they will train us they tell me... View More

A Texas attorney could advise you best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like the type of attorney you need is a health care attorney. If you want to pursue the false statement, that would be a defamation attorney. Before bringing attorneys into the mix, why don't you... View More

His medical power of attorney. Is it too late to get him to sign a will in hospice? I just want to use his money to pay for his cremation if he even has enough.
answered on Sep 26, 2019
Legal capacity to sign a Will is not determined by whether or not one is in hospice. You might want to contact a local elder lawyer: we make house calls. If so, use the Find a Lawyer function on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (eee.naela.org)
I live with my elderly mother who has dementia in her home. She is getting to the point where I can't care for her (no one has power of attorney) and I was wondering if I contact Adult Protective Services, would they help me get her help because she wont let me help her. And also someone told... View More

Not in Texas. You may want to help your mother enter a memory care or a skilled nursing facility, though if she is being neglected because you cannot care for her at home anymore (when would you sleep?), Adult Protective Services may step in. If she has a medical necessity for nursing home care,... View More
and how can a doctor get a death certificate and he did not sign for it. also, the doctor does not want to meet with me or talk to me and my mother was mentally ill so I feel she was not in her right mind.

Even though they consider him incompetent he still drives, bathes himself, cooks, does own laundry, fixes stuff around the house, has own bank accounts, etc.

Having a POA does not stop the State from removing someone if they believe they are in danger. As I suggested before, you should immediately contact an elder law attorney who does guardianships as well.
Started out as complaint about apparent self neglect then escalated to incompetence. Dad does drive safely, does own shopping, bathes, feeds himself, even shaves himself.
answered on Aug 16, 2019
Do you have a medical power of attorney or just durable POA? I suggest you contact an elder law attorney asap. Sometimes, these investigations can get blown way out of proportion very quickly.
The therapist office says it will not refund us our money, because they are worried that CIGNA will recoup it's payments. However, it has been about two months since I brought this to their attention that they were getting double paid. They owe us almost $600.

You may reach out to the Texas State Consumer complaint department or contact your health insurance provider and tell them.

OK, if your parents became US citizens -- or either one of them did -- before you turned 18, you acquired US citizenship automatically. You need to file Form N-600 to get a Certificate of Citizenship. Check the instructions for the fee-waiver document, Form I-912, to see if you can get the filing... View More

Can someone with a non violent misdemeanor warrant in Travis County admit themselves into State Hospital to receive mental health care and serve their sentence there instead of jail? Or will they just be transferred to jail after they receive treatment?
answered on Apr 9, 2018
In my experience they can turn themselves in to the hospital but unless the court places a hold on them they will not get credit for the time they serve. I think you would be better off hiring a lawyer to work that deal out beforehand. Good luck to you.

answered on Apr 8, 2018
If the warrant in question is not a mental health warrant, a State hospital has no basis to admit or keep you. Call an attorney in the County where the warrant is pending.
