I believe so (my wife said yes) but it must be a certified service dog that has current registration and training. If the dog poses a threat for some reason I am sure it would be excluded. You should be able to ask the court you plan to attend.

You could repost under Employment Law. If an employment law attorney picked up your question, they could offer you the best insight here. Your question remains open for two weeks probably because no one noticed it in Small Claims. Good luck

She know I like her and wanted to be with her but as soon as she received the money she stopped talking to me but said her phone was broke and had no way not even Facebook but I made a fake account and she would reply to it can I sue her in small claims court to get my money

You can attempt to sue to recover your money; however, it may be more troublen than it is worth. It might be better to cut your losses and move on.

Thanks for your question and I am sorry for your troubles.
Once a person has been warned that they are no longer welcome on property they can be prosecuted for criminal trespass so you may want to consider calling the authorities if she shows up again. If she has made threats to cause... View More

One can't just make themselves Executor of an estate without actually going to Court and asking the Court's permission to do so. If there has been no petition to the Court then that is where everything starts.

Contact a personal injury attorney that does product liability. It might be possible for her to recover; however, it's best to speak with a lawyer (and usually to hire them if you want the best outcome). Most personal injury lawyers get paid only if you receive a settlement; you don't... View More

You do not state whether you were a renter with a lease, a renter without a lease or a guest or whether you were kicked out for nonpayment. Some leases allow the landlord to seize and sell your personal property if you do not pay rent.

A Texas attorney would be the one who could advise of any state laws that govern this, if applicable, but your question remains open for three weeks. As a general matter, such a time period would be most likely to be addressed, if it is at all, in the contract terms between the parties. Good luck... View More

I am assuming they did not just sell the title but the car also. If the person was not otherwise entitled as an owner to the car they had no right to sell it. The level of the theft charge (or conversion) would depend on the value of the car and how the theft occurred. Other factors that determine... View More

You can only sue a lawyer for economic damages, meaning the money you lost due to the representation. Did you sign the release? if you did, you may be able to receive a settlement check.
The settlement must be agreed to by you as well. If the lawyer did not have your authority to settle,... View More

If she has been charged with assaulting you, yes you can file suit against her in civil court. Because it was an intentional act, her insurance would likely deny coverage, so she would need to have non-exempt assets to go after to collect a judgment. Was the rental you were evicted from her home,... View More

As you didn't cause the claim and as they would have a "subrogation claim" your rates shouldn't go up.
You want your vehicle fixed or totaled. Don't worry about your company.
Never gave it a second thought but after she broke up with me my face had red spots and I remember she was sitting up in the bed one night after she bought me a burger then fell asleep after eating it I think she drugged me with that burger so I wouldn't wake up as easily . When I awoke with... View More

Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code describes the proper way to break a lease in a domestic violence situation.
