A Texas attorney should advise, but your question remains open for two weeks.

A Texas attorney could answer best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to address such a situation with a quick response. Aside from applicable Texas rules for attorneys, it could hinge on what you used the attorney for in the past, what she or he knows about you, any... View More

If a permanent resident accept FAFSA gift aid, is there any possibility the government will inquire it back? For example if the government gifted me $4000 could they charge it back?
answered on Apr 21, 2020
Permanent residents may receive FAFSA. There might be other reasons that they might want you to pay it back, like for fraud. As for you being a permanent resident, it won't have any effect on citizenship.
After failing a driving test, the DPS tester got out of the car, and instructed my daughter to drive around and park the car, while I was waiting in the designated area.

A Texas attorney is best qualified to answer this question, but you await an answer for three weeks.

You must have this conversation with your attorney; no one in this forum has any idea who told you about, "back in 70's (there was) a charge for something to do with stealing property out of a car". Good luck.

Not enough information. If the most recent entry was after April 1, 1997, then you may be subject to INA 212(a)(9)(C). If the most recent entry was before April 1, 1997, then you aren't subject to that section. Also, if the second entry was with inspection, you might not be subject to 9C.... View More

There was drugs found in the home. Does this mean it cannot be used as evidence if the warrant does not contain the address or a description of the residence to be searched?
answered on Oct 26, 2019
Don't worry, if the defendant has a decent criminal defense attorney then the search warrant will be carefully examined for defects and the existence of warrant exceptions will be properly considered. I don't want to say more than that because this sounds like it could be a homework... View More

I am not aware of any LAW that says a trial can only be postponed three times or for one year ... perhaps the judge said the she is not willing to grant any additional continuance.

If a person's dementia has progressed to the point that she lacks legal capacity to contract, the contract is void and the attempt to profit from it is exploitation of an elderly person, a first degree felony in Texas. Contact APS.
e.g. if Someone makes false statements to an administrative agency of the United States in order to get out of a fine, will this qualify to be potentially prosecuted under the False Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3729 et seq.) in addition to qualifying under other appropriate federal laws?
