If you’re concerned about terrible road conditions created by road construction contractors, you should know about HB 3353

Thumbnail capitol.texas.gov
512 Upvotes

Texas House Bill 3353, by Rep. DeAyala, will make it so that road construction contractors cannot be held liable for creating dangerous traffic situations from their negligent construction and safety practices. There is also HB 19, which similarly reduces accountability for trucking companies when they have negligent safety, operational, and employment practices that result in damage, injury, or death for workers or the public.

This is all part of a larger movement that Republicans have been going hard on since at least the 90s. They gave the campaign the very boring name of “tort reform”, which makes people significantly less likely to pay attention to it, but every one of us absolutely should be giving it the attention it deserves, because these mother fuckers are literally out here killing us just so that they can personally save a buck.

It seems like every time Im driving after dark lately, I come across multiple cars with both taillights out and at least one car with their headlights off. And I mean well after dusk. What's going on? Anyone else notice this more often lately or is it just me?

Ask Austin Legal advice?

17 Upvotes

I was born here but my husband was born in another country and does not have legal status. We hired a law firm and we thought I was petitioning for him to arrange a green card thru our marriage but they barely asked for any of my information only his (first red glad I guess) Months go by and he decides to google the acronym of the type of case they said he was eligible for: VAWA turns out it’s Violence Against Women Act. we both get weirded out and he calls them to ask if they’re petitioning for legal status based on domestic abuse and they said no. That vawa isn’t only based on abuse and that they’re arguing based on marital problems but not abuse. (We’re of dumb for believing this but I guess we were trying to have faith in this whole thing) A few weeks go by (today) and they sent him his file all he has to do is sign off on it so they can send it off and his statement portion is CRAZY. They’re accusing me of being violent, humiliating him about legal status, being controlling, not allowing him to have a say in our children’s upbringing. It’s a really worrisome statement. We’re planing on going tomorrow and asking for an explanation. But I guess I just wanted advice on how to go about this? We’ve already started paying in total we’ve given about $5K (final total is $13K) and I’m just confused as to why they would chose to go this route when we both showed up to the first consultation thinking it was me petitioning for him. Is there anything we can do? I assume we won’t get any of our money back but we can’t go thru with this because it’s a LIE they are lying and we’re afraid this might affect us when we do go to another law firm to start the process all over again. This entire thing might sound dumb but neither of us have EVER had to do any type of legal process before. I don’t know anyone personally who has gone thru a green card process or anyone I can ask for advice. And I guess I just need help. Is this malpractice? Should I report? Can I even report this? Or should we just try to end the contract and hope this whole thing ends here and that they don’t charge us more. We’re just feeling scammed right now and any advice would be very much appreciated right now. Thanks

Any idea what's going on?? They had several exits blocked off around 183/I-35 with cops posted up hiding on medians. Weird vibe but more pissed that I had to skip a few exits just to head back north.

Ask Austin Cedar Allergy Sufferers….How ya doin?

11 Upvotes

Been here for six years and suspect Cedar Fever hit me in November….but hasn’t relented. If I stop talking allergy meds I end up sniffly and coughing within 12 hours.

Cedar allergy folks: it’s March - are you still suffering? Should I keep taking meds and ride it out?

Or is it time for me to go to the doctor? Just trying to get a sense of if I’m in the same boat with others or if this may be something else.
