Everything that I have read shows that I have to pay taxes and upkeep on home. The home has no mortgage. I am being told that I have to pay homeowner's insurance. What is the truth? This is in Texas

It sounds like you have a life estate. Life tenants must maintain the house, which should include an insurance policy to protect the remaindermen in the event that the house is damaged. If there was a fire, for example, you'd be responsible to pay for the damages. An insurance policy is cheaper.

Sorry, CPS likely won't do anything about this.
I was in a similar situation, and got a job so that I could spend as little time in my father's house as possible. It sucks, but I think you're stuck for 2 more years. The good news is that by that time, you can save some... Read more »
-50 senate cannot convert to a majority, who or what will break the tie ? If no one, does the U S continue without a VP ?
Thank you

A VP has virtually no power under the constitution (except to break ties in the Senate) and is mainly there in case something happens to the president. The VP's only constitutional jobs are 1) become president if there is no longer a president, 2) preside over the Senate (which will be done by... Read more »

We love each other I really don’t want nothing to happen to him , and I’m aware the consent age in Texas is 17 years old so I was the one who decided to have sexual intercourse with him.

If you don't know of a will, and no will has been filed for probate, then your father's estate will pass by the rules of intestate succession. Here's a link to a chart that explains it. https://texaslawhelp.org/sites/default/files/texas_descent_and_distribution_chart.pdf... Read more »

Yes, it's legal for private property owners to tell you that you're not permitted to be there, or to return.
Is it still possible for me to become a attorney with a family violence misdemeanor in TX?
answered on Apr 7, 2021
I do not know the answer but the first thing I would research is the investigation relating to the "Declaration of Intent" that all law school students must pass to become an attorney in Texas. The investigation decides whether or not you are mentally and morally fit to become an... Read more »

It is certainly possible to get a lien against the property you loaned money to purchase, but you have to have the correct paperwork completed at the time of the loan. Think of a car loan - there's a note, and security agreement, and the lien is noted on the title. There are different ways... Read more »

Without reviewing the contract, it's hard to say for sure, but I suspect that if you do nothing, they may sell the boat. You could call them and see what arrangements you can make with them to simplify that process.

The answer depends on the circumstances. For example, if you borrow someone's bike, leave it unsecured on your property, and it gets stolen, yes, I think you're responsible. If someone leaves their bike unsecured on your property, you're not responsible.

The sentence is incomplete, but it sounds like either the $10,000 in cash or property with a fair market value of the same amount.

Nothing has been forfeited other than possession of the truck, but it's unlikely she'll get it back - more likely the relatives who bullied her to get it will lie if necessary to sell it.
Without the will (or heirship information) it's impossible to tell who the truck... Read more »

No. A partition is for the division - usually by sale - of certain property, usually real estate.
I can't think of a good reason to remove your name from the title of a car other than having sold it - if that's the case, there's a form you can use to report the sale to the... Read more »

Yes, these kinds of rules are typically allowed (except for true service animals). Many HOAs have rules restricting the number of animals, weights, breeds, etc. even if you own the property. When you purchased the condo, you likely signed a document saying that you would agree to the HOA rules,... Read more »
Its registered in my name, but I do not have possession of the car. The actual owner keeps going through toll roads racking up fines. I informed dps that I sold the car over a year ago, but the car is still in my name.

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. How did you advise them? Many state motor vehicle departments have online procedures that require certain steps on their websites to carry out registrations, cancellations, payments, etc. If you already tried that, then...

Unsure what the legal question is here. If you know what court the case is out of then you can always call the clerk’s office for that court and ask about the case.
