Questions

Edinburg questions

Something else on your mind? Call (956) 540-2255 or send us a WhatsApp message.

Do you have an office in Edinburg?

No. Clients from Edinburg meet us at our McAllen office, or by phone, WhatsApp or video. The office is at 1201 W Houston Ave., about 11 miles from the Hidalgo County Courthouse.

Can I work with you without driving to McAllen?

Yes. You can talk with us by phone, WhatsApp or video and send photos and papers by WhatsApp or email. Some steps, such as signing certain documents or preparing for a hearing, may go better in person, and we will tell you when.

Where would an Edinburg injury lawsuit be filed?

Usually in Hidalgo County, at the courthouse in Edinburg. Texas law generally sends a lawsuit to the county where the events behind it happened, with some exceptions (Texas venue rule, CPRC 15.002). Some cases belong in federal court, which for Hidalgo County sits in McAllen. We explain which court applies before anything is filed.

What if a city, county or school district vehicle hit me?

Call us quickly. A claim against a city, county or school district in Texas generally needs written notice within six months of the incident, and a city's charter can set its own notice rule (Texas Tort Claims Act notice rule). That is much shorter than the usual two-year deadline for injury lawsuits.

Where will my immigration interview or hearing be?

Your notice names the place. Green card and citizenship interviews for Valley residents are at the USCIS Rio Grande Valley Field Office in Edinburg, and removal hearings are at the Harlingen Immigration Court. Bring or send us the notice and we will explain what it asks of you and what to bring.
