If you can afford an attorney you should get one. Enforcements and modifications are very technical. An experienced attorney will be able to help you navigate, prepare, strategize, and execute a plan based on your goals for the situation.

You can try sending copies of everything you have to the oil company by certified mail with a letter asking them to correct the situation. However, don't be surprised if what you send them is not enough to change their mind.
This is probably not a do-it-yourself project. First, it is... Read more »

You should ask your attorney to amend your petition.
Small claims court is a very different forum than county court. In county court, you will not have a simple "appointment," you will have a trial. You will be required to follow the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure in... Read more »

answered on Sep 7, 2022
No. The disposition of a criminal case does not affect the right of the victim to sue for civil damages in a separate civil lawsuit. Double jeopardy only prevents a person from being prosecuted twice for the same crime.
Exemplary damages can be recovered for a tort like assault if the... Read more »

I would be highly suspicious about receiving a "written notice to evacuate" in Texas. You should take this document to an attorney near where you live and ask advice as to what it means.
Ordinarily, evacuation orders are issued by government officials during a natural disaster.... Read more »

Whether the process is simple or more challenging depends on the state of your mineral title. If you have a deed for these minerals it may be a matter of sending a copy of the deed to the oil company with a certified letter and requesting that they correct the error.

In a regular traffic stop, an officer may ask you to exit your car for officer safety. The dog may not enter your car at first. The dog may sniff the outside of your car, if it shows a HIT, then the officer has probable cause to search your car.
The officer may not, in usual circumstances,... Read more »

It really depends on what the original trust document states. So, the answer is: "It depends". Start by looking at the trust declaration for how to amend the trust declaration. This is usually in a paragraph labeled "Revocability."
