We do not want our private road made a public street. Can the city override our desires when we homeowners on the road have titles/deeds saying we each own 1/4 interest in the road and easement and no changes, alterations or modifications can be done to the road or easement without our written...

Yes, the city can do that, but it has to provide just compensation to the private owners. Look up "eminent domain".
Yes, the court has wide discretion when setting the conditions of bond. Anything related to your attendance at court or the safety of the community is fair game. If your case does not involve drugs and you don't have any history of drug use then you could ask your attorney about the... Read more »
My grandma passed (in Texas 2015) first and then her new husband had changed around everything in the will (when my grandma was sick he got her to sign stuff). He cut multiple family members from my grandmas side out and made his son the executor. When her husband passed (in Texas 2017), the son... Read more »
It's definitely worth having free (or inexpensive) consultation with a probate attorney. I'd recommend trying to schedule a meeting with an attorney that focuses on probate and estate planning law.
You would be an heir to your grandmother's estate, so it's important... Read more »
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for two weeks. It isn't clear what type of document you're trying to amend, but regardless, it could be difficult to obtain feedback on something like that on this Q & A forum. If you reached out to attorneys in the Dallas... Read more »
Defamation and subjective language were used ex parte for a writ to a child's body, after an action (motion) was in place for full custody, after numerous bouts of maternal child abuse and maternal fraud were evident. The child was then subsequently returned to the maternal abuser against... Read more »
I apologize for the snarky tone of my previous response. I can't remove it, so I will try again to answer your specific question regarding the language in a writ:
Arguing over the language is probably not the best use of your time and effort. One of the many reasons that wise... Read more »
My friends sister has a 2 year old. They live with their parents. Without telling anyone, the sister checked herself into a mental health facility. She gave her son to a coworker to watch. The coworker does not normally interact with her son. The parents (parents of sister) want him to be back at... Read more »
No. The police will not get involved unless the child is being abused or neglected.

As a general rule if both parents are alive and well, rights not terminated, or incarcerated, then no grandparents have no rights in Texas.
Without court orders granting the grandparents rights, they have none.
I paid for everything I purchased. I want to start off by stating that. I never once stole anything. These coupons are meant to be used along with our associate discount. I would take the points customers didn’t want and add them to my account. If an item I bought was 100$ then I would end up... Read more »
Paying a civil demand after the fact will not prevent criminal charges of theft or forgery. Sometimes the vendor will imply that they won't file criminal charges if you pay the civil demand... but they might anyway. Also, once it is reported to law enforcement the vendor can't dismiss...

I was in a highly abusive relationship with a mentally unstable woman (wasn’t aware of her issues at the time).
One day she threatened to show me a video of her and a former sexual partner.
I refused and she caused a huge fight where she attempted to assault me, and we both ended... Read more »
Just delete her messages and block her on all platforms. Trying to make a legal case out of something like that will only prolong your misery.
My ex-gf filed an application for protective order against me - and falsified the allegations completely. The Judge denied the application for protective order. So luckily - this is behind me - however, I REALLY want to seal this - so that I don't show up on the county courthouse search... Read more »
Hire an attorney or research Rule 76a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. Be aware that a Family Violence protective order is based on the Family Code but a Stalking or Sexual Assault protective order originates in the Code of Criminal Procedure.
If you have a prior felony conviction, does it impact your eligibility for a last name change? If the case is 10 years old but the person wants to change his/her last name to match their family surname, will a prior conviction hurt these chances?
Here are some of the requirements for name change in Texas:
-You are at least 18 years old.
-You file a petition asking for a name change in the Texas county where you live.
-You provide the court with complete information about all felonies and Class A or B misdemeanors... Read more »
Apt did not use contracted towing company as what’s listed in my contract and outside buildings. They will not tell me a reason my car was towed. Who ever took my car did not leave any information on where my car was taken to. They did not register my car as towed, so it has been stolen. I made a... Read more »
Hello, thanks for your question!
Sorry to hear about that! In regards to the fees that you are being charged, on the invoices you are receiving, there should be a phone or email address that you can reach out to figure out what's going on.
I'm a little confused - how do... Read more »
The kid was 16 yes old and we never get along so we both know that is not the best option.
A: Yes you have a right to say no. She has a right to say “screw you” excuse my language. And both of you have a right to file for divorce. This isn’t a legal issue, it’s a marital issue. You have a right to agree or oppose to anything you want during the marriage

It comes down to whether or not you held yourself out to public as husband and wife. To determine that, a divorce would have to be filed, the other party can contest it, and the judge would take into consideration a variety of factors (joint accounts, joint ownership of property, joint tax returns,...

And they told us at the time it was not stolen, however the following day we noticed the title given to us was a fake, we contacted local authorities and it ended up being stolen. Can we sue the county sheriff’s office for providing fake info?
A lawsuit like this is always a matter of civil law, even when the police department or sheriff's office is involved. Find a civil attorney who has experience suing the government.
My former attorney filed a motion for summary judgment before withdrawing to finish it but the opposing party responded by submitting exhibits but they were not in his name so it was dropped. He never answered the admission or anything, he has nothing on why he sued me. So how do I respond. With... Read more »
Unfortunately, there is no way to know the next action that may be required without reviewing all the pleadings. If the Motion for Summary Judgment was filed, and a response filed, was there a hearing? What was the ruling? What fact issues were raised in the response, and can they be resolved?... Read more »
I was playing words with Friends and an ad popped up for Candy crush and it was constant screaming! I am deaf in one ear and when I hear loud sharp noises it makes my ears ring and hurts really bad. I couldn't mute it or x out of it it gave me severe anxiety at 6:00 in the morning, I filed a... Read more »
My best suggestions would be: 1) Stop playing apps that have annoying adds, or 2) pay for the app so you don't have to see the ad.
Presumably you want to evict? Start by sending a 30 day notice terminating the lease, and then file the eviction. Otherwise you'll have to deal with the CDC order providing protections to tenants who are being evicted for non-payment of rent.
(Continuance) legal dept's address or any contact information. How do I get that information? Thanks, Ken
Contact the secretary of state for the state in which the company is formed, or is operating for the registered agent and registered office. There's no need to look for the legal department, as the registered agent is the one you need to serve with the suit. It's not clear to me whether... Read more »
