I used to just unzip my pants and pee. Now I’m being asked to completely drop my pants and expose everything. I refused to test because I felt extremely uncomfortable but I’m not worried about failing at all. I contacted my probation officer immediately after but haven’t heard back yet but... View More

It is not illegal to drop your pants to do a drug test. The crimes related to exposing your private areas are limited to doing that in public. If you feel uncomfortable, you might ask if they would be willing to do a hair drug test instead. It is my understanding that a hair test can detect drug... View More

It seems like you described a problem but didn't ask a question. Without knowing more, the main thing I can say is that making the payment ASAP is probably going to be the cheapest, easiest, quickest, and most painless way out of the situation.

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general matter, a court might look at what you lost by relying on your friend's assurance - a loan that it looks like you would not have qualified for anyway. It sounds like your friend might have made a... View More

Consult an attorney who FOCUSES on parole work and ask about the possibility of both parole and of your brother receiving a commutation of the sentence. Don't just look for a criminal defense attorney that also does a few parole cases on the side... you are looking for a person whose law... View 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.

What do you mean "back" to trial? If you already had a trial then the only way you'll have another if you first do an appeal... and only then if the court of appeals reads what happened in the case and decides it was so messed up that the errors can't be fixed and the only... View More
he has not paid the taxes on the land and it is still 100% in my name as owner, Is there a limitation on getting it transferred, do I get to keep the land if I pay the taxes, to use as collateral or sale.

Presumably the divorce decree awarded the property to him, and then by signing the Special Warranty Deed you have confirmed that grant to him. Therefore, the property no longer in your name, no matter who the tax bills are going to.
If you want it back, you could buy it back a the tax... View More

The law is still on the books so you could be arrested, taken to jail, spend money bailing yourself out, and spend money on a criminal defense attorney who will eventually get you out of trouble based on the famous case of Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989).
In other words, you could... View 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.

Search the internet for an attorney who takes federal civil rights cases. There could potentially also be torts that could be filed in state court, but some require a not-guilty or complete dismissal of criminal charges.

One way is to ask the attorney you know for a referral... even if the person you know is the "wrong" type of attorney. For example, if you know an attorney that handles issues in Family Law, that person might be able to give you a referral to a good attorney who practices in an area like... View More

An attorney has an obligation to respond to his or her client, which in this case is your husband. Even if you were the one who originally retained the attorney, it should be your husband who is calling or texting. If you don't get responses in a couple of days then send an email. If you...

No. That's not what use inconsistent with means. Who knows, the company may have consulted an industrial hygienist.
Also, to sue for damages you have to show you actually suffered something--not could have.
If you have a concern you may report it to your state OSHA or US Dept of Labor OSHA

You have essentially been paying rent all of those years. Yes, chances are you are going to have to move out. You should schedule a consultation with an unlawful detainer attorney to see if there are any eviction moratoriums in place that might help you get more time.

You're best legal challenge would be the reason for the initial detention. In Texas a police officer has to have reasonable suspicion that a traffic violation has occurred to pull over a vehicle.
