  1. and to add, she has to be competent to sign the POAs, there are general, financial, for health care, etc. You need to be having these convos with the attorney.
  2. The TOD deed is generally a good idea. But will she be competent sign a contract to sell the house if he dies first? If the only asset is a house I guess a trust is OK but I am not a fan of it otherwise, because you don't get a step up in basis the same way. For instance, valuable land in wife's family. Set up a trust. Upon death of H, trust became irrevocable. H's half share basis set at X. W dies later after significant appreciation of land, W's basis set at Y. Better without a trust. H dies. W takes the step up. W dies, heirs take the step up of the whole, established at W's death. Not half at H's death and half at W's death. Plus the trust accounting. Pain in the ass. TOD your properties. Set your beneficiaries for your bank accounts at TOD is easy to do and change. Set your beneficiaries for your investment accounts, easy to do online and change. Leave a will for the personal effects.
  3. My grandma told me I looked like Robert Redford. Except more handsome.
  4. Nightmares of helplessness suck. I only had them about waiting tables and law school. Congratulations and hook ‘em.
  5. Absolutely
  6. All you wade fishermen, tired of rusty pliers on your wade belt? get these plastic electrician pliers and drill a hole in the handle for your lanyard, sturdy af and won’t rust https://a.co/d/bzTv3Nh
  7. Get there early, I spent an entire day there.
  8. I missed it. I was drunk.
  9. Cop no shows. Denied continuances. Insufficient exhibits. Incorrect pleadings. Bad stops. Poor investigations. Insufficient evidence. Tons of different ways. Fun fact. I have argued in the Texas Supreme Court about an ALR. Won at the CCL, won at the COA, then the TXSCT completely disregarded the law and fucked us. Still pissed about it, so thanks for bring it up.
  10. He could file a motion to suppress alleging there was no reasonable suspicion for the stop. Keep in mind though the officer has to be objectively reasonable in making the stop, not necessarily correct. For example if the cop made the stop for running a red light, and there was a red light camera or other video that showed the driver entered the intersection a .05 of a second before the light turned red, the stop may still be objectively reasonable, even if technically incorrect. Still if there is evidence that he was not speeding, he should contest it regardless, a judge might find that stop chickenshit and the standard of review on the state’s interlocutory appeal of the judge granting a motion to suppress would be abuse of discretion, tough to get reversed. You MIGHT get a drivers license for refusing (180) or failing (90), but you have a right to an administrative license revocation hearing. I win them all the time. So you can be suspended for failing a blood test with a BAC of 0.08 or more (but not drugs). While the Transportation code allows you to demand a blood test there is no remedy for not accommodating the request. Additionally, it is the cop who can request breath or blood or both, it is their call on the type of sample(s) not the defendant. It’s called an occupational drivers license. An acquittal, if you can get one fast enough to matter, bars an administrative license revocation suspension, if you lose your ALR hearing.
  11. https://www.reddit.com/r/BigBendTX/s/rux11xQrCx not my video but very cool sight in Boot Canyon
  12. Someone needs to use Trumps ramble about South Africa yesterday in a voice over of the video of beauty queen Caitlin Upton answering the question about The South Africa and The Iraq
  13. We’re missing Terry and Tavion clogging up the LOS. Both fine young men that I got to know well last year. But they got offers they could not refuse.
  14. Read it. Definitely worth a read.
