They would travel by bus, and I was trying to figure out what I needed to do to make sure that I wasn’t held liable if anything happens during the travel. The dance team is not under a... Read more »
This question should be answered by an attorney who practices civil law. The criminal courts should not be involved for situations like bus crashes or injuries.
I assume you are not asking about crimes unless there is something really bad going on... like child abuse... in which case you... Read more »

File an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Costs.
Both pension and social security go to savings but checking is overdrawn. Can they take that to pay off what is owed in checking?
Probably, yes. The bank's account agreement probably gives them the right to offset what's due on one account with what's in another, even if the funds deposited there were exempt before they we deposited. You may want to contact them and work out some payout arrangement on the... Read more »

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. This could be more of a consumer law/health law matter than a personal injury or med mal matter - unless you were injured as a result of the procedures. There's no guarantee all posts are picked up, but you could... Read more »
The next day the line was clogged again. Do I have to pay him again to unclog the line our should he come back out and fix it for free since I’ve already paid him?
You paid him for the first fix. Unless it was done improperly the first time, fixing it again is a second job, which needs to be paid for. Since this has (presumably, based on your question) happened quickly, you might want to have him look for an underlying cause of the problem.
A guy I know opened a joint account on an apartment in his and my name, I never lived in the apartment and never gave permission for my name to be used.
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. If you consulted with attorneys who handle civil litigation, they should be able to advise. They could also identify necessary measures to be taken, such as notifying banks and other financial institutions. Good luck... Read more »

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. You are astute to recognize the possible applicability of dram shop statutes in such settings.

A couple years ago I got a divorce and listed a truck as property for my ex husband. He was making the payments and the truck was always "his". Now he's not making the payments. My name is the only one on the truck and the loan. Legally it's the banks truck until it's paid... Read more »
No, it's not the bank's car. Based on your description, the title made it your car, and the divorce decree made it your ex-husband's car.
In most cases, the decree provides that the person who receives the property is responsible to pay the debt. If he doesn't do so,... Read more »

Been going back and forth with him and the corporate customer support team. I can't get a refund and terminate my account, because I cant verify... Read more »
Was the agent negligent? Sounds like it. But at this point it's not clear what your damages are. If they fix the problem, you won't have any damages. No damages means no claim against the agent.
Did you actually just type this question into Justia expecting a meaningful response or were you simply talking to another person who happens to own a malfunctioning Amazon Alexa device?

I live in Texas. If I go into a store and purchase an item at the register that is higher than the price that is displayed on the shelf what price do I pay for the item.
If you can get them to change the price based on what was posted, you pay the lower price. If not, you pay the higher price, or buy it elsewhere.
The deceased person never fulfilled their obligation, and we signed a contract. She was the sole owner of the business and the probate process has just been initiated by her husband. The administrator has been assigned yet either. Could I still sue her business and her estate in small claims court?
The short answer is no - because there's no one alive to sue, and until someone is appointed to represent her estate, there is no one with authority to act for her. Once some one is appointed as executor or administrator, you can make a claim against the estate, and sue the executor or... Read more »
