My truck has been damaged from them. And I drive 5 under. I took my truck to the shop and there is damage to the front steering ball joints and tie rods every day it gets worse. Can I make the state pay the $1800 to repair my truck?

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's unlikely on a contingency basis. You may get firms to handle it hourly. But that's only an individual opinion. The only way to find out is to reach out to law firms to ask. Good luck

This judge has "stayed" my case against 4 Defendants, because one filed for bankruptcy. Basically all 4 defendants are benefiting from bankruptcy, when only one filed for it.
answered on Mar 16, 2023
The fact that a judge has stayed your case due to a bankruptcy filing is not grounds for disqualification or recusal.
If you believe the stay is improper, you can file a petition for writ of mandamus with the court of appeals.
You can also file a motion to lift the stay in the... View More

You can’t file jointly if you were never married.
Because you filed jointly, the IRS likely believes you are married pursuant to common law in Texas.
Ordinarily, the IRS cannot retain one taxpayer’s tax refund to offset the debt of another taxpayer.

Rumor in Austin service industry is we can't marry liquor bottles because something about a less than 1oz rule but that's in the "sealed containers"section... What's the definition of sealed/unsealed? If at time of service then liquor bottles are "unsealed" so marrying is ok, yeah?
answered on Dec 10, 2022
Marrying liquor bottles is illegal in Texas, all 50 US states, and most other countries.
It is a health risk, fraud risk, tax law violation, and can lead to trademark infringement.
Not only is it illegal, it is unethical.
