Contact an attorney. Your attorney can speak with the officer who wrote the report, who should then issue an amendment.

It happened in school. The principal gave the male saturday school. But the parents of the female filed charges outside of school. What can the parents of the male who pulled the girls hair do? Hire a lawyer if so what kind?

Consult with a local defense attorney. 17 year olds are adults in the eyes of the Texas criminal justice system and he could easily be facing jail time for yanking a girl's hair if the county/district attorney decides to pick up the case.

The child (via her guardian) should consider a personal injury suit against her mother's estate. There is a duty for a parent to support a child, but if the child's basic needs are met, the parent does not have to provide additional money
awarded. Who is entitled to receive the money? He had a living grandmother, father and older sister

You, father,sister. You need to consult with an attorney of your own. Look for a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Assn. in the county where the killing happened.

answered on Jan 30, 2018
Just because she is a minor doesn’t mean relatives get to choke her out and punch her. If she is interested in charges getting filed then she should talk to the police to file a report and/or get in touch with the local District Attorney’s Office.

Check your policy for your Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage. Unless you specifically waived it in writing, you should have coverage for your losses.
My wife reported what happened to her boss and told him she had to leave to check on me. He refused to let her go. Can he do this? And does it violate the fmla?
answered on Jan 18, 2018
fmla only violated if she puts in the paperwork. This is America--you think it violates a law to not allow an employee time to go to an emergency room? If she left, was fired, she could argue it was not wilful misconduct because she was reacting to an emergency. That's about all the law does... View More

With depositions scheduled, I assume you have previously hired an attorney. If so, then you need to ask your attorney this question. If you haven't hired an attorney, then you should probably do so ASAP. Criminal convictions can be used against witnesses in certain instances, generally to... View More
And took pictures. Is that illegal. And what can I do
answered on Jan 5, 2018
I doubt it is an illegal act without more, although it is tasteless. You must be a sound sleeper. Suing them in civil court would probably not help much either because you would have to prove you were injured and have pecuniary damages.

Hopefully you made sure the other person was included as a creditor in the bankruptcy and you are thus protected. Report his claim to that attorney.

The statute of limitations for minors wishing to pursue a cause of action generally begins at age 18. However, a claim could be brought sooner through a parent or guardian. You should first, however, speak to an attorney to determine if you have an actionable claim.
