Several bills passed by the 88th Texas Legislature in 2023 will take effect on January 1st, 2025. Here are some highlights.
November is National Adoption Month! To help celebrate, we wanted to highlight some of the basics.
The adoption process creates a new legal parent/child relationship. Adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities that biological parents do. In Texas, laws governing the adoption process are in Chapter 162 of the Texas Family Code.
October 21 – 27 is National Estate Planning Awareness Week! Estate planning may sound spooky and mysterious, but it doesn't have to be. We're here to help.
An estate plan is a set of formal instructions for when a person dies or can no longer make decisions. If there is no plan, matters are typically decided based on existing laws. The consequences can be frightful when your preferences aren’t taken into account.
