Q. Seeking to vacate conviction due to dash cam evidence of fabricated traffic stop and ineffective counsel.

April 8, 2025

A: You have a lot going on here. There are two different avenues for you to overturn your conviction. You didn't say what your exact conviction was, but I will assume it was for a Felony in Texas.

Avenue 1: Dash Cam: New Evidence can be used after the Statute of Limitations, if it qualifies. The biggest hurdle, is getting it declared "NEW EVIDENCE" in court, which means it was NOT AVAILABLE, at the time of your guilty plea, or at the time of your trial. That sounds like it was KEPT from you and your lawyer. If so, it is truly NEW EVIDENCE and you can now file or move the court for dismissal or to vacate the criminal judgment and sentence against you.

Avenue 2: Ineffective Attorney: If your attorney did not learn of this problem or evidence, because he never asked for discovery, or did not perform his duties/diligence in preparing your case, then it is NOT "New Evidence", but you have a good case for a Habeas Corpus or Motion to Vacate the judgment.

Get started on both paths immediately, and use a lawyer who is experienced in Criminal law. ... Read More

Q. How can we address potentially inaccurate drug test results for THC-free CBD use?

April 1, 2025

A: Some drug testing can be wrong or inaccurate. But positive for Meth and Fentanyl due to marijuana use is a LOW likelihood. I hate to say it, but mom may be lying to you. We all want to see the best in our loved ones, but what you are telling me is hard to believe on a repeated basis. Some shitheads lace marijuana with Meth, Ecstasy, and other drugs. However, these days getting good marijuana is not difficult.

To be sure, CBD products are refined and well-made for the most part. Those products are not 100% THC free. The Farm Act of 2018, allows a small amount of THC to be in CBD products due to the reality of the use of marijuana for some health care. But Meth and Fentanyl positive results, are rarely untrue.

I hope this helps. I hope your mom gets better.

Good Luck! ... Read More

Q. Can non-U.S. residents wholesale real estate in Texas and receive assignment fees abroad?

April 1, 2025

A: Most non-US citizens can buy and sell land and otherwise speculate on the same. However, if you are a Chinese National, or are from a "Terrorist State" country, that type of business is NOT available for you in Texas.

The key is to manage your properties and taxes correctly. Get a good Real Estate Attorney, and some solid financing, and you should be able to thrive.

LMK if this helps. Good Luck!
