FAQs

Q: Where can I find help if I can't afford to hire a lawyer for my housing issue?

Texas has various legal aid organizations that provide free or low-cost legal assistance to eligible individuals. We can provide you with referrals to these resources. You can also explore resources like TexasLawHelp.org or ConsumerCreditLaw.org .

Q: (If including Landlord-Tenant): My landlord isn't making necessary repairs to my home. What can I do?

Texas law outlines procedures for tenants to request repairs from their landlords. If your landlord fails to make necessary repairs, you may have certain legal options, such as terminating the lease or making repairs yourself and deducting the cost from your rent.

Q: (If including Landlord-Tenant): My landlord is trying to evict me. What are my rights?

Texas law provides tenants with certain rights in eviction proceedings. We can review the eviction notice and help you understand your options for responding and potential defenses you may have.

Q: What should I do if I think I've been scammed by a foreclosure rescue company?

Do not pay any upfront fees. Contact us immediately, and we can advise you on filing complaints with the Texas Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We can also explore potential legal action to recover any funds you may have lost.

Q: Can I stop a foreclosure by filing bankruptcy?

In many cases, filing bankruptcy, particularly Chapter 13 , can temporarily stop a foreclosure by invoking an automatic stay. This can provide time to explore options like catching up on missed payments through a repayment plan.

Q: My mortgage servicer is constantly making errors on my account. What can I do?

We can help you send a formal Notice of Error to your servicer and explore legal action if they fail to correct the errors or comply with federal regulations. You also have the option to file complaints with regulatory agencies like the CFPB.
