Q. Can I get compensation for wrongful detention and vehicle damage in Texas?

June 29, 2025

A: Yes! The deeper question is how much can you get compensated for 90 days in jail, due to wrongful prosecution. The governments of Texas ( city, state, township), are paying about $100-$400 per day. That number can go higher if you can prove a private citizen or non-government actor is a significant cause for the imprisonment. Then you can get a per-day award, plus the possibility of punitive damages, exemplary damages and other damages. This all assumes that you start a lawsuit, and win your trial. The vehicle damage may be an easier route. I would start with the tow company.

I hope this helps.

Q. Could I face legal issues for a sexual comment made online to a 15-year-old?

June 10, 2025

A: It depends on the comment. It also depends on where you were and where she was at the time of the comment. If you really did shut it down, and block her immediately, you are probably OK.

If you sent any explicit pics, that is a different issue. Sending nude or explicit pics to a minor, is almost always a crime in America.

A request for sex, from a 15 year old is a crime, in most states.

I hope this helps.

Stay away from the young ones, and you will be OK, in the future.

Q. Seeking legal guidance for unresolved sexual assault from 2017 in Texas with no investigation from authorities.

May 23, 2025

A: Sorry to hear about your issues.

There are a few ways to push the different agencies to get moving on your case(s).

Writing letters is weak unfortunately. Sending a demand for action or and Investigation, is a bit more powerful, but you will need the exact names of all involved.

The best way to get some action is to sue all involved. Not so much for $, but anyone you sue or name in the lawsuit will be forced to Answer the lawsuit within 30 days or getting served with your sue papers (Citation & Petition).

The more powerful use of the lawsuit is the availability of SUBPOENAS. Once you get a case number, you also get Subpoena power.

Subpoenas cost money. Some Counties subpoena fees are over $100 and also require that a Deputy Sheriff or Constable, serve the papers, which also has a fee.

The good news is that everyone, must answer the subpoena, and must tender the documents sought therein.

Some lawyers will help you, some will not. My office does the kind of work you need, as does many other lawyers on Justia.com.

If you are not wanting to be part of a lawsuit, then there is no subpoena power. I hope this helps. ... Read More
