The answer depends on the circumstances. For example, if you borrow someone's bike, leave it unsecured on your property, and it gets stolen, yes, I think you're responsible. If someone leaves their bike unsecured on your property, you're not responsible.

The sentence is incomplete, but it sounds like either the $10,000 in cash or property with a fair market value of the same amount.

Nothing has been forfeited other than possession of the truck, but it's unlikely she'll get it back - more likely the relatives who bullied her to get it will lie if necessary to sell it.
Without the will (or heirship information) it's impossible to tell who the truck... View More

No. A partition is for the division - usually by sale - of certain property, usually real estate.
I can't think of a good reason to remove your name from the title of a car other than having sold it - if that's the case, there's a form you can use to report the sale to the... View More

Yes, these kinds of rules are typically allowed (except for true service animals). Many HOAs have rules restricting the number of animals, weights, breeds, etc. even if you own the property. When you purchased the condo, you likely signed a document saying that you would agree to the HOA rules,... View More
Its registered in my name, but I do not have possession of the car. The actual owner keeps going through toll roads racking up fines. I informed dps that I sold the car over a year ago, but the car is still in my name.

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. How did you advise them? Many state motor vehicle departments have online procedures that require certain steps on their websites to carry out registrations, cancellations, payments, etc. If you already tried that, then...

Unsure what the legal question is here. If you know what court the case is out of then you can always call the clerk’s office for that court and ask about the case.

1. This is not a forum for answers to homework questions.
2. This is not a question of Criminal Law, Consumer Law, or Family Law.
3. You can try to sue almost anyone for almost anything, but filing frivolous lawsuits can get an attorney sanctioned.
4. You can try to file it... View More
I have a fence line that is shared with a neighbor. They have installed game cameras on the shared fence line facing our property. This area is not accessable to the public so it is private property to private property. And this is in Texas

A Texas attorney (or maybe a lawmaker) could best advise on this, and in particular, one familiar with ordinances in your municipality or town. But you await a response for four weeks. As a general matter, this question arises frequently these days as the use of these things expands. In general,... View More
For example if there is a fight at one of these places and one of the people involved in the fight wants footage, but the cameras only show live feed and there’s no recorded evidence of there having been a fight. Can the bar owner be sued by a victim or victims family for not having recordings ?... View More

A Texas attorney could offer the best answer here, but your post remains open for two weeks. And it sounds like it would be better for something to be done sooner than later. Maybe the more pressing issue with a lender could be mortgage payments. If you want to help this person, you could alert... View More

I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. To learn about your rights here, you could contact a firm that handles toxic tort/product-based cases, more specifically, ones that work in the asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer sector. These cases are not one-size-fits-all. While the ships... View More

Contact a domestic violence center in your area. They have counselors and lawyers who will walk you through the steps on what to do.

You haven't stated what your question is. If you feel like you have been defrauded then you should look on the Attorney General website for the State of Texas.
All children of our grandfather are deceased, leaving 5 of us great grandkids.

If I understand this correctly, your great-granmother set up a trust for the "family" which included your grandfather. The terms of the trust will control who the trust assets pass to. I suggest asking for a copy of the trust.
Be wary of this "heirship company" if they... View More

That would enable them to advise whether it would be covered under a homeowner's policy, auto policy, or other possible form of coverage. You could post a few additional details (without... View More
