Legal Answers
524 Questions Answered
Q. Can an officer force me to take a blood test during a Texas DWI stop without a warrant?
A: NO!

The only way that officer is correct is if you had a car wreck and someone was hurt.

Even then, he needs a warrant.

If they took your blood and are prosecuting you for DUI, you must object and have your attorney know what you have asked here.

If it was my case, I would make a motion to suppress and quash the evidence from the blood test.

There are some funky rules that apply in small counties. If you are in a county with only one District Court judge and very few lower level judges, there are some exceptions to the above rule. Be sure you talk to a lawyer who has experience in DUI matters.

Good Luck!
Q. How to update address with Houston court for 1983 case settlement?
A: If you have the case information or case #, you can call the clerk of the court to get the address to mail a change of address. There is also a system called PACER, which is the update and filing system used by the Federal courts.

Try both ways I have explained, and you should be able to catch-up.

Otherwise, you should go visit the courthouse and visit the Clerk's office.

Bring ID.
Q. Can I challenge my stepfather's eviction and claim my inheritance in Texas?
A: There is a lot going on with your question. The basics are that if your mom and step-father have been living in the house together for over a year, and he has no other house to live in, you can not kick him out. He can stay there for the rest of his life, if he wanted.

If you have been living there for over 6 months, and have been contributing and paying for NECESSARY costs and fees, he can not kick you out. Especially if you keep paying the taxes, and other necessary expenses. However, your rights are not as secure as his. Are you sure there is no Will from your mother? You have 2 years (maybe 4) to file and probate her Will if you find it. If you have good credit, you might want to make an offer to buy it from your step-dad, or see if he will let you take-over his Mortgage.

He can sell it on the open market also. It gets a bit tricky for you if that happens.

You should go see a good lawyer if you want to buy him out, or make some other type of deal like buying a "LIFE ESTATE" deed from him.

I hope this helps.
