- Q. Can Charles Schwab rescind my job offer due to a DWI conviction?
- A: Assuming the job offer is for here in Texas, the deal is that since we are what's called a "right to work" state, the Schwab job offer can be rescinded with or without reference to your DWI conviction.
Now if this job offer was reduced to a written contract between you and Schwab, you might have some way to discourage them from withdrawing the offer.

- Q. How can I argue in court that my truck, seized as contraband, is not involved in a drug case?
- A: The answer is that you shouldn't even try to argue this by yourself without counsel. You should redouble your efforts and find a lawyer.... QUICKLY.
