Your question remains open for three weeks, and at this point, if you haven't already, consult with a Texas attorney. This sounds more like a real property matter than one about securities or civil rights. At any rate, the category is not really important at this point. It appears to be something... Read more »

I am sorry for your troubles. Yes he can proceed pro se. But it would be best to seek legal help from one of the legal agencies. I will post the websites for those that assist people on criminal cases.

Very few attorneys handle appellate woik because it is so highly specialized and a totally different animal from trial work.
If you are in the DFW area, I often refer people to Georgeanna Simpson in Dallas.
I hope this helps and good luck.
The laywer she will b testifing agaist is the lawyer i hired on her case iam asking for the modifacation how does that work out
You just need to make sure your attorney is aware of the contents of any potential testimony the inmate can provide. If the attorney believes that testimony is essential to the case, the attorney will request that the inmate witness be brought to court to testify at trial. No sentence... Read more »
If you didn't get the appeal from your decision and order filed on time, you would have a very difficult time filing in district court. Also, if you lost at the administrative level (CCH), there are almost no attorneys that would be willing to take your case in district court since we have no way... Read more »
You must make that request through your attorney but you should not get your hopes up. If the decision has been upheld you're in a tough spot--sorry.
They we are going to send you to this program in Beaumont for 3 months.

No, it isn't like double jeopardy. That is when you are put on trial twice for the same alleged offense.
In this situation, you committed a crime but, instead of being locked up, you were given a second chance where you were allowed to do community service instead. Except you didn't... Read more »
I am an associate dentist in Texas. I signed a do-not-compete with my previous office (a DSO) for 10 miles for 2 years after leaving (It has now been ~1/2 yr).

You have raised several important facts that may enable you to avoid the larger issue altogether. Hire a local lawyer in San Antonio and ask them to tell you if the way you were treated under the written employment agreement is bad enough to support a case of breach; if it is, have your lawyer try...

And they took the children for the mother moving back in families home and signing a non prosecution affidavit. They interviewed two kids at school without recording it and consent. Their forcing my wife to divorce me to get her kids back even though they have no evidence to keep doing this
The answer is that you hire an attorney to represent you for guidance and direction. Your answer is not a simple one. To take legal advice from one who has just only read your facts is problematic. Consult an attorney with your proof of your allegations.
My favorite answer, it depends. I am kidding, I hate saying that. But you can object the day of trial if that is when you discover a disqualifying connection. But generally it is best to file a motion in accordance with the local rules in your County that is applicable to motions for defendants. Go... Read more »
Yes. Such appeals go to the county court at law (if such a court exists in your county).

You discuss two separate issues, and unless you are a licensed attorney, there is not much you can do other than retain an attorney on your friend's behalf. Since judgment has already been entered, try contacting the Innocence Project. Good luck.
My uncle convicted in 94,affirmed in 95..no further proceedings due to Anti Terrorism Act. Is this still applicable...
You should contact the attorney who represented your uncle and ask specific questions about his case. I cannot comment because I don't know his sentence, nor any other facts regarding his situation. Good luck
I am a Texas 2L doing an online survey project. All answers appreciated, regardless of the state.
Thank you.
I believe if it is filed to set bail the inmate's counsel files it and if the inmate is indigent the filing of the writ is not initially paid for, similar to when there is no payment between an indigent inmate and appointed counsel. If the inmate hired an attorney, I believe $150 per hour would be... Read more »

Sort of. There is a method of challenging arbitration awards in court, but it is not technically an appeal. It is difficult to overturn an award in court.
You will need an attorney, but in general, a motion fr new trial must be filed within 30 after the conviction was entered. A notice of appeal must also be filed, a request for transcript made, and several other procedural matters must occur, but the primary question that must be addressed is:... Read more »
