What are you fighting? Have you been charged with a crime? Why did your boyfriend lock you out? Didn't you want to go back inside? Or, were you content to sleep on the porch? Was anything said or related to the police that might give them reason to think that someone inside might be at...

This is not a domestic situation. A civil harassment order could be acquired if you are being abused, annoyed or harassed, but keep in mind that while you may be able to seek an order for those things a judge is not likely to issue an order that will do anything more than prevent her from...

The fact that you owe money is not confidential information, and I doubt it was done in an effort to intentionally inflict you mental anguish or harm. A lawsuit is about money. It might cost you tens of thousands of dollars to try and sue for damages that are, at worst, a brief embarrassment...

I seriously doubt anyone is going to care. A 17 year old DWI misdemeanor is not at all likely to appear in any public criminal offender record from another state unless specifically sought. And, even so, the local jail is not going to want to incur the liability of a wheelchair bound patient...

Yes, it is possible that an attorney for one side or the other will be aware of the NY warrant. However, that shouldn't make any difference. Your responsibility is to respond and testify truthfully. If you are afraid of being arrested, I'd say the odds of that happening on such an old warrant...

Really? A mystery person was driving your car ... While possible, this is highly improbable - and nearly laughable. Certainly you know or have an excellent idea who it was in your car.

An arrest requires probable cause to believe that a crime was committed and the person to be arrested committed the crime. It does not require absolute proof. If the witness described you or picked you out of a lineup, yes, you can be charged with a hit and run. If the police investigate and...

Most crimes lack pictures of the offense. Her testimony coupled with injuries, witness statements (seeing it or hearing her scream), your being in possession of the items or seen with them, etc., can ALL be evidence. Consult legal counsel asap!

What do these alleged neighbors call to report you are doing?

As an adult, you can do what you wish. Your parents may not let you take anything with you, and they will be under no obligation to provide you with any support, but you are free to leave at 18 absent a conservatorship or other court order that limits your travel or changing residences.

What job would that be? At least out here, those are two entirely different functions requiring different (though sometimes similar) skills and education. One must go to school for a long time to be an RN - not nearly so long to be a paramedic.

Yeah, I was wondering about the huge numbers of homicide or ADW charges. We were debating the legal gymnastics that might be necessary to make all those cases count in some meaningful way (not sure how we'd do it here, and certainly not familiar with TX law in this area). But, if they can...

Then gather your witnesses and evidence and file in Small Claims.

Yeah, I haven't followed the end results of the investigations, only the first couple of weeks of suppositions and news reporting ... and that which was blasted on LE blogs.

I seem to recall that the cops took a few of them down, too.

Yes, you may be liable if you intentionally let the storage unit go into default. I don't want to accidentally mislead you on what the legal requirements are in this particular situation. If you were a landlord, and this were your tenant, the matter is pretty clear. But, since you offered...

There is a police saying concerning big and violent brawls: "We hospitalize the losers and arrest the winners." The first time this was apparent for me was at a sports bar on Super Bowl Sunday 1996 (I believe) ... HUGE fight that involved dozens of people. We mustered 10 cops from our...

Did she make any payments to you for the car? If not, then your case gets more difficult as she may have a stronger claim that it was a gift. No contract in writing, no witnesses to a verbal agreement, and no history of making payments for the car ... sounds like a gift to me. Are you still...

You said you bought the car and YOU put it in her name. This is not theft. It's legally kinda hard to take your own property, and this would not meet the definition of theft to permit it to be entered into SVS (stolen vehicle system) of NCIC. If she owes you money and you think you can...

If your license is suspended in CA you cannot drive in CA. Period. You MAY be able to apply for a restricted license, but even that is likely to require some action by you to make payments or take required corrective action before the DMV will agree to permit it. Why is your license...
