It is unlikely you will find an attorney willing to take such a case pro bono. Moreover, it is unlikely that you will need to do so.

So she made them at that time and billed for them. I have not paid and have not received. Is this fraud
answered on Aug 29, 2022
No, you are not likely guilty of fraud based on the facts as stated.
This is more of a civil law question than a criminal law question. While there are many nuances to fraud, it usually requires a false representation of material fact which you knew was false or which you made recklessly... Read more »

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. I'm sorry for the damages to your trailer. You have a number of options.
