“Duty. It’s a key element of any negligence-based tort claim but defining exactly what the standard of care should be is not always an easy task.”

In the May issue of the Texas Bar Journal, Brandy Wingate Voss, owner of the Law Offices of Brandy Wingate Voss, and Melissa G. Thrailkill, an associate attorney with the Law Offices of Brandy Wingate Voss, discuss standard of care and how to prove your negligence case using violations of administrative regulations.

Proud of my colleague

I spoke publicly because this issue can no longer be ignored.

Some children in the juvenile system cannot be released, not because they deserve detention, but because there is no parent, guardian, or responsible adult available to take them home.

These children are United States citizens. They are our children.

A child should not remain in detention simply because there is nowhere else to go. Detention is not a home. This gap in the law is real, and it must be addressed.

Lots of memories. 😞

To many Hidalgo County officials, attorneys and staff members, the old courthouse in Edinburg — currently being carefully demolished a piece at the time — was like a second home.
