Unfortunately, if she has been staying there for over 30 days, you will have to evict her or make a claim that she is violating her parole conditions. If you do the latter (Parole Vio.), she will go back to prison.
Maybe you should tell her she had better find a new place, or face a... Read more »

answered on Sep 24, 2022
An attorney could help you by looking in the real estate records. Some estate planning attorneys file trusts there. Also, if you can remember who the estate planning attorney was, you can contact the attorney for a copy.
If neither of those work, our law in Texas states that the... Read more »

Mold test kit, video, photos, emails and still nothing has been done to resolve this issue, do I have a case against the landlord of the apartment complex?
answered on Sep 23, 2022
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I could only speak for the personal injury aspects of your question; a landlord-tenant attorney could advise on the tenant rights-related aspects. There are injury firms that handle mold cases. But nationwide in... Read more »

If he is indeed not a director, his actions likely would not be binding on the HOA unless it subsequently ratifies them. Probably the best course of action at this point would be to hold a directors meeting and have the Board pass a resolution ratifying all of his previous actions.

Unless your court order states that you must be notified, the custodial parent is not required to inform you. However, good co-parenting would warrant that the custodial parent would want to inform you...in case anything happens with the child.
Are you concerned about your child's... Read more »
