In Texas, it is against the law to have an open container of alcohol in the passenger area of a vehicle.

Under Texas Penal Code §49.031, an “open container” includes any bottle, can, or receptacle with a broken seal.

This law applies to both drivers and passengers, whether the vehicle is parked, stopped, or moving.

Many people don’t realize this until they’re pulled over and cited.

Texas no longer requires safety inspections for most vehicles.

But drivers are still responsible for keeping their vehicles safe to operate.

If a mechanical issue contributes to a crash, such as faulty brakes, worn tires, or other preventable defects, it can still be considered negligence.

That can affect liability and insurance claims after an accident.

Knowing how these changes impact your rights can make a difference after a crash.

The small details can be the difference between a weak case and a strong one.

What’s documented in the moments after a crash can help explain how everything happened, and why it matters.

Those details often provide the context needed when fault is being evaluated.

No one expects to leave a medical appointment with more questions than answers, or with a situation that becomes more serious than it should have been.

The truth is, a lot of the injuries we see in hospitals never should have happened. When a doctor misses something obvious or skips a step, it is not just a “complication.” It is a mistake that can change your life.

If you or someone you love was hurt by a medical mistake, you need more than just a sympathetic ear. You need someone to help you figure out exactly what went wrong and show you what options may be available.

Letting someone borrow your car may seem harmless, but it can come with more responsibility than most people realize.

In Texas, insurance typically follows the vehicle. That means if someone else is driving your car and causes an accident, your insurance may be the first to apply.

There are also situations where an owner can be held responsible, especially if the person driving was inexperienced, reckless, or shouldn’t have been behind the wheel.

Even if you weren’t in the car, it can still affect you.

When a serious accident happens, not everyone is in a position to speak for themselves.

Families are often left trying to make sense of what comes next. Making decisions, asking questions, and stepping in for someone they love.

Having the right guidance during that time can bring clarity, support, and a path forward when it’s needed most.

If you or a close family member works at sea, you may have seen recent discussion that the Jones Act was “suspended” in March due to the conflict in Iran.

As of April 22, Trump has stated he is considering extending this suspension. However, details remain limited and have not been widely clarified in official public releases.

There is no confirmed repeal of the Jones Act right now, but it’s something maritime workers should keep an eye on.

This shift may impact:
⚠️ Shipping costs
⚠️ Energy prices
⚠️ Supply chains
⚠️ Working conditions and legal protections at sea

Q&A: If you or a loved one is a Maritime worker and concerned about what this means for your legal protection, please add a comment with your question below!

As this is a developing matter, the situation could change, and as a mariner, YOU are a major part of our economy and deserve to be protected.

🚚 Interstate = crossing state lines
🚛 Intrastate = staying within Texas

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, a reminder of how quickly a moment behind the wheel can turn into a life-altering event.

Many crashes happen in seconds, but the consequences can last far longer for the people and families affected. We’ve seen firsthand how these incidents leave individuals facing injuries, medical care, lost income, and uncertainty about what comes next.

If you or someone you love was injured in a crash caused by a distracted driver, you don’t have to handle the aftermath alone.
