Questions
What estate planning documents are essential for Texas residents?
Every Texas resident should have a will, medical power of attorney, and durable general power of attorney. We also recommend transfer-on-death deeds for real estate and contingent trusts for families with minor children.
How does Texas probate work for out-of-state property owners?
Texas probate applies to property located within Texas. We handle ancillary probate proceedings for non-residents with Texas real estate through muniment of title filings to transfer property ownership efficiently.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in Galveston County?
Seek medical attention, document the scene, and contact our office before speaking with insurance companies. We'll preserve evidence, coordinate medical treatment, and build your injury claim while you focus on recovery.
Can first-time DWI offenses be dismissed in Texas?
Yes, many Texas counties offer diversion programs for first-time DWI offenders. We negotiate with prosecutors to get charges dismissed through alcohol education programs and community service requirements.
How do traffic ticket points affect my insurance rates?
Points on your driving record typically increase insurance premiums by 10-30%. Our attorneys reduce or eliminate points through court negotiations, helping maintain lower insurance costs and prevent license suspensions.
