Tefteller Law PLLC

Divorce
Yes it is, how significant depends on the circumstances of each particular case. It is sometimes more significant if there is a custody trial involving very small children, or considering property division and alimony questions. Sexual conduct with another person other than your spouse is still considered adultery even though you and your spouse have separated, and even though you haven’t met the person until after your separation. While to some “adultery” is a pejorative term or is a matter of degree or severity, Texas law still provides it is one matter the Court may consider in contested divorce cases.

Divorce
Yes it is, how significant depends on the circumstances of each particular case. It is sometimes more significant if there is a custody trial involving very small children, or considering property division and alimony questions. Sexual conduct with another person other than your spouse is still considered adultery even though you and your spouse have separated, and even though you haven’t met the person until after your separation. While to some “adultery” is a pejorative term or is a matter of degree or severity, Texas law still provides it is one matter the Court may consider in contested divorce cases.
Child Support
The person with primary custody in Texas is called “the managing conservator”, and the visiting parent is labeled the “possessory conservator”. Texas now has a presumption of “joint managing conservatorship” and allow for one of the parents to be designated as the primary custodian under the arrangement. Even in joint conservatorship cases, the court is still usually obligated to have one of the parents pay child support to the primary custodian and to order a visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent.
Child Custody and Visitation
Contested Child Custody. If there is a contest as to which parent should be awarded custody of a child or children, the process is lengthy, cumbersome, emotionally strained, and even sometimes can be financially devastating.
Guardianship
Persons with minor children should have a Last Will and Testament appointing a Guardian of the Person and Guardian of the Estate of their minor children and providing the specific provisions regarding the disposition of their estate along with providing for a person whom they would want to appoint as personal representative of their estate (an Executor or Executrix as the case may be). The Will would help ensure that the person named to serve as Guardian would in fact be appointed as the Guardian of the Person and/or Estate of their minor children, and would attempt to circumvent the default provisions of the Texas Probate Code related to guardianships. It would also help eliminate a potential contest among competing family members who could possibly show up to take care of the minor children in the event of the parents’ deaths because the persons come to know that a potentially great amount of money would be made available to the minor children.
Spousal Support
Texas is really not an alimony state, and alimony is a new creature first created in the mid-1990′s called “maintenance”. Texas is what we call a “one tone in the water” alimony state. Texas has adopted “rehabilitation alimony.” Generally, alimony must be awarded to a spouse if the marriage was of at least 10 years duration and the spouse who is seeking alimony lacks sufficient property to provide for their minimum reasonable needs and...
Legal Separation
Texas does not recognize any particular status as “separated”. Either you are married or you are not. What this means is a decision has to be made whether or not to petition the Court for a divorce or not. Some persons might consider themselves legally separated during a divorce, but in Texas what that really means is that temporary orders are in effect during the pendency of a divorce action.

Criminal Defense
Tom Scott McCorkle was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, where he graduated from Highland Park High School. He attended the University of Texas at Austin receiving a Bachelors of Business Administration (B.B.A) degree in 1966. From there Mr. McCorkle went on study law at South Texas College of Law in Houston and received a Doctor of Jurisprudence (J.D.) degree in 1971, being admitted to the State Bar of Texas that same year. Mr. McCorkle has been Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1976.
DUI/DWI
It is against the law of Texas to operate any motorized vehicle, aircraft or boat if you are intoxicated. “Intoxication” means the loss of your normal physical and mental faculties, or if your blood alcohol level is.08% or greater. The problem with DWI laws in Texas and other states is that most people do not know at what point they are intoxicated if they have been drinking. A few social drinks at your favorite restaurant or club could render you intoxicated under the law.
Wrongful Death
Upon finishing law school, Jarom came back to North East Texas where he was made the head of the Tort Section of the Tefteller Law firm. This section of the firm handles wrongful death and personal injury cases of all types. Jaromâ€™s practice routinely takes him all over Texas in pursuit of justice for the families of injured people or killed loved ones.
Traffic Violations
Big rigs and 18-wheelers bring the risks and hazards of driving to a much larger scale. For the most part, 18-wheelers are involved in accidents for the same reasons smaller vehicles are; they, too, are susceptible to mechanical failures, improper driver training, and reckless driving. However, the conditions under which 18-wheelers are operated are a little bit different.
Sex Crimes
Tefteller Law, PLLC practices primarily in the areas of catastrophic injury and death cases, contract, business torts, criminal law, and probate.

Misdemeanors
Felony cases are more serious in nature and the consequences for being convicted of a felony are more severe. Felony crimes are punished by incarceration in a state or federal penitentiary, while misdemeanor charges are punishable by jail time in a county jail. Felony punishment can range from a minimum of 6 months in a state jail facility to a maximum penalty of life in a penitentiary. Misdemeanor cases are generally punishable from a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of 1 year in a county jail.
Embezzlement
But that’s where the defense could get in trouble, says Columbia’s Coffee. It would be almost impossible to convince 12 jurors from the Houston area that criminal behavior at Enron was limited to Fastow’s embezzlement of funds.
Assault
Homicide
Todd was licensed by the Texas Supreme Court on his 25th birthday (May 10, 1985) and has been trying cases ever since. At the age of 31 on January 31, 1992 Todd was one of the youngest attorneys in the State to be certified as a specialist in Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a mark reserved to less than 1% of Texas attorneys which requires extensive documented trial experience, rigorous peer review, and a written comprehensive examination by the Board. “Back in the eighties nobody could afford to incur the costs of depositions and big time pre-trial discovery so we simply had to try everything from homicide and domestic relations cases and on down. When I first applied to take the certification test the Board at first told me I lacked ‘substantial involvement’ because I had only been in the game 5 years, but when they looked at my record they changed their minds.” Todd passed it on his first attempt and has practiced as a certified trial lawyer 24 of his 30 years ever since. Mr. Tefteller also prosecutes and defends cases in the federal courts.
Restraining Order
You have to live in Texas for six months and in the particular county where you wish to file for 90 days. This creates an emergency situation sometimes because a person may need a restraining order but they have only lived in the county for less than 90 days at the time of the crises. In this circumstance you must consult with your attorney.

Business Transactions

Real Estate Transactions
A document promulgated by the Texas legislature, a statutory durable power of attorney involves a principal (the person giving the power of attorney) appointing an agent (the attorney-in-fact) to transact business on behalf of the principle. The form allows the specification of specific powers to be given (for example only granting a power of attorney for only real estate transactions; granting a power of attorney for only banking matters, etc.) or the form allows a general delegation of powers to be given to the agent, which would allow the agent to transact any and all business on behalf of the principle. The form also allows the choice of whether the power of attorney takes immediate effect, or if the principle desires for the document to take effect after the principle becomes incapacitated.
Property Damage
These accidents can cause a lot more damage—on a much larger scale—than the average motor vehicle collision is likely to cause. Accidents involving 18-wheelers pose a greater likelihood of property damage, serious injury, and death.

Auto Accidents

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Wills
Probate is the judicial/court procedure by which a testamentary document, a Last Will and Testament, is established to be a valid Last Will and Testament of a person who has died. In a looser sense, probate is a personal representative’s actions in handling a decedent’s estate.
Power of Attorney
A person should have a Durable Power of Attorney in place, either designating the document be effective immediately or in the event of later incapacity, so that an agent is appointed to transact business and personal business transactions on behalf of the principle. Further, it is good practice to execute a Designation of Guardian in Event Need Arises, setting forth a person’s wish as to what particular person should be appointed by the Probate Court in serving as Guardian of the Person and Guardian of the Estate. The Designation of Guardian in Event Need Arises is executed under the same formalities as is a well, and contains a Self-Proving affidavit signed by the potential Ward along with witnesses, allowing the Probate Court to find the document most persuasive in appointing a person as Guardian of the Person and/or Guardian of the Estate of an individual, and allowing the express disqualification of a particular person from serving as the Guardian of the Person and/or Guardian of the Estate.
Probate

Bankruptcy
Lay didn’t do that, and Enron wound up in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Watkins eventually became one of Time magazine’s persons of the year for 2002, and she co-authored a book about her experience at Enron, Power Failure.
