My parents purachsed a horse for me when I was a child. Even though the horse is in my name, do I own it now that I am an adult, or do they since they signed on my behalf?
answered on Aug 16, 2024
Texas does not generally prohibit minors from owning property. There are certain specific things (tobacco, alcohol, etc.) that a minor is prohibited from buying and owning, but a horse is not one of those things.
The horse has been yours since it was purchased for you in your name.

Yes it may be a case. Malpractice means that a health care provider acted below the standard of care and that that action or inaction caused harm. Here, the harm is clear, the death. Another qualified health care provider or providers would be needed to testify as to the breach of the standard... View More

If by "we've been together for a year" you mean that you, then 16, and he, then 24, have been in a sexual relationship, then yes-- things can certainly get worse for him because he can be charged with various sexual crimes against a minor. I can picture the charges being aggravated... View More
