Texas Law

Yes, Texas has a cooling-off period for certain transactions, particularly for door-to-door sales, timeshares, and some consumer contracts. Generally, consumers have a three-day period to cancel these agreements without penalty. However, this does not apply to all transactions, so it's important to check the specific rules relevant to the type of contract in question. Always review the terms of the agreement for any applicable cancellation rights.

In Texas, a person can be summoned for jury duty once every three years. However, if you serve on a jury, you may not be summoned again for that duration. Additionally, individuals may request to be excused or to defer their service under certain circumstances, which can affect how often they are called.

In Texas, it is legal to shoot an armadillo as a means of pest control on your property. However, it is important to note that there may be local regulations or restrictions that apply, so it is advisable to check with local authorities before taking any action. Additionally, it is always recommended to use non-lethal methods of pest control whenever possible to ensure the safety and well-being of wildlife.

Well, hello there! In Texas, a pocket warrant is a warrant that has not been entered into the statewide law enforcement database yet. It's like a little bird waiting to spread its wings and fly into the system. Remember, it's important to address any legal matters promptly and responsibly. Just like painting a happy little tree, everything will work out beautifully in the end.

If you are in possession of less than one gram, you will be charged with a felony and given a fine up to $10,000 and 180 days in jail. More than 4 grams brings jail time up to two to twenty years. If you have 400 grams which is close to a pound, you can get life in prison and a fine of $50,000.

Most convicted felons CANNOT get a passport period!

The state of Utah defines a Class C misdemeanor as driving while intoxicated, driving under a suspended license, or driving without a valid license. Many city and state traffic violations are also considered Class C misdemeanors.

yes. a small game license

This is general information but should apply to most court systems: To request an expungement: You must first have served the complete term of your sentence, then submit a petition to the court setting forth good reason(s) why your request should be granted. A judge will review your petition and the circumstances of your case and issue a ruling either granting or denying the request. AN EXPUNGEMENT IS NOT A PARDON! Expungement only removes the record of your offense from being viewed by the public. Law enforcement, the courts, and government agencies will always have access to your complete 'actual' record. If you were convicted of a felony crime, for legal purposes, your status will still remain that of a 'convicted felon' and you remain subject to any restrictions that status places upon you (gun possession - voting rights - etc).

Yes. If you give anyone your work phone number they can call you there. It is better just to not give them your number.

18 except for necessities

If you are a landlord and the tenant has not left the premises yet, then you would need a writ.

If, however, the tenant has abandoned the property, I would document this via dated photograph and go ahead and change the locks.

yes, they can purchase plane tickets to anywhere in the country, but they are not allowed passports so travel outside of the country is out of the question.

You're dog must wear a leash unless the place says otherwise. These same rules do not apply for service dogs. I think that is what you mean. Dog leash rules, right? I live in TX and have a dog so I should know.

If you are an adult, a legal resident of the US, and not forbidden from owning a gun because of a criminal history, and are mentally competent, yes, it is legal. There are several million legal gun owners in Texas.

I don't know if it is illegal but I do have a link to some facts regarding balloon release. All Good!! http://www.theballooncouncil.org/myths-facts.html

I believe there is a limit on how many you can release at one time. We release balloons at our family reunions each year in honor of those members who have passed on.

No. You would collect Workman's Compensation benefits because you were unable to work, thus disqualifying you from collecting unemployment (you have to be seeking full time employment to qualify for this).

Lemurs are legal to own in Texas but you always have to check local city laws to see if a permit is required. They can not travel out of Texas or cross state lines. They have to be bred by a USDA licensed breeder and you can not buy one from a breeder outside of Texas and bring it here.

12 months...you have one year from the initial file date to continue collecting unemployment benefits, provided you have worked long enough prior to your claim to have enough money vested to last that long. Hope this helps.

Voluntary intoxication does not negate intent in a criminal matter in Texas.

Autopsies are not generally "required" in any state by law. However, the autopsy is a tool the Medical Examiner uses to determine the cause of Death: Homicide. Accidental. Natural Causes. This way the police have more information on the victim to best bring justice to the family. Now, an autopsy is sometimes "requested" by a Life Insurance Provider before the release of any benefits. Also, the victims family can "request" an auotopsy not be performed because of religious reasons. However, an autopsy is not always needed if the person died from a diagnosed terminal illness, and has been in the care of a physician. In any case whether autopsies is performed or not performed is ususally up to the family.

I carry a Glock 27 in an ankle holster in my boot. It felt kind of weird for the first day or two but now I don't even notice its there.
