Legal aid is free. If someone contacts you claiming to be from Lone Star Legal Aid and asks for money or your financial information, it's a scam. We're seeing scammers impersonating legal aid organizations through phone calls, text messages, emails, and fake websites. Don't let them take advantage of you. Read our blog to learn how to spot these scams, protect yourself, and safely connect with Lone Star Legal Aid for free legal help: https://www.lonestarlegal.org/news/2026/08/legal-aid-is-free-avoid-the-new-scam-charging-for-legal-services/

“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.
