Legal advice is specific to the situation where your lawyer knows the facts of your specific facts and can provide an application of his or her understanding of the law to your fact situation. Therefore, as the writer of the information on this website, I have not agreed to provide you with legal advice nor do I have the ability to do so without hearing the specifics of your case and establishing an attorney-client relationship.
I do not know the facts of your situation, and I have not established any relationship with you as your attorney. This website is meant solely to provide general information to Texas employees so that they may better understand their rights. The idea of this website is to inform Texas employees, not to encourage them to seek to protect their rights without an attorney. In my experience, I have seen many Texas employees make mistakes fatal to their potential case by their actions without the help of an attorney.
The information in this web site is subject to change, as the law is static and changes with both legislative decisions and decisions by the courts. In addition, the information in this web site reflects my understanding and interpretations of the law. Other attorneys, and judges, will likely have different opinions than me regarding the law. Therefore, you MUST NOT rely on any information in this web site to form any opinion that may affect your legal rights without consulting an attorney. Please think of this website as a starting point only. In reality, the information in this web site only scratches the surface of a very complex and detailed area of Texas law.
Even though the law may appear to be black and white, that is rarely the case. There are always exceptions to the law, and exceptions to those exceptions. Your unique factual circumstance may provide you with a legal remedy that the law on its face does not appear to provide. Conversely, a law you believe may provide you with a remedy may not apply to your unique situation. You can only find out how the law treats your situation by speaking with your own attorney. No website can provide you with that information.
In sum, please use the information on this web site as intended, as a mere starting point to a much more detailed inquiry into the law.
Thank you,
Scott Cook
