Okay, I have to ask about "The law & daniel molloy"

YIPPEE!!! Law & daniel molloy is my baby

There's 2 universes of it right now. Both are the same premise, but the minor characters are different. All human AU.

The Law & Daniel Molloy is a crossover with one of my favorite tv shows, The Law & Harry McGraw, which itself is a spinoff of Murder, She Wrote. Harry was in 6 episodes of MSW iirc, and the spinoff had 16 episodes before it was canceled.

The show revolves around Harry, who is a private investigator in boston. His closest friend works across the hall from him in the same building, a defense attorney named Eleanor Maginnis. Harry is kind of uncouth, but nice. Ellie is fancy. You wouldn't expect them to be as close as they are from appearances/personality alone.

Ellie's husband, Matt, died two years before the last episode, and the timeline is in spinoff hell because why wouldn't it be. Harry was an alcoholic and Matt, before he died, was the one who got Harry to attend AA.

Next is Harry's niece, EJ. She works for him as his assistant. Ellie's nephew Steve works for Ellie, and he's a tax lawyer.

There's other characters, like Cookie. He is the bartender at the bar/restaurant Harry loves. Everyone else thinks the food is bad except Harry.

As well as that, there is Tyler Chase, a district attorney, who hates Harry and is in love with Eleanor. He is... something. AND he was played by Peter Haskell, the guy from the Chucky movies, I guess.

I swear, all these characters are relevant.

PART 2: CHARACTERS

Daniel takes the role of Harry, and Armand of Ellie, and Marius of Matt. I've changed my mind about EJ and Steve, I think Sybelle may be EJ and Antoine be Steve.

Thorne is Cookie. That's not truly important but it is a silly little thing and why I mentioned Cookie at all. Yippee! Thorne!

And David as Tyler Chase.

PART 3: THE AUS THEMSELVES

Section 1

Like I said, there are 2 AUs. One is of an episode of the show, the other is the ACTUAL AU.

The one that is just an actual episode of the show is the last episode, Maginnis for the People, in which Ellie is upset when her friend is accused of murdering her (the friend's) husband, and hires some famous fuck from texas instead of her (Ellie).

In this AU, which I've called De Romanus for the People, the plot is the same.

Armand's work has been slow lately

He goes to a dinner party held by Louis and Lestat, David is there, as well as Madeleine. There's others who do not matter, perhaps

David asks (read: begs) Armand to work for him, and he denies

After the dinner party, the last person leaves (Madeleine), and Louis closes the gate and sets the alarm (the housekeeper is off for the night)

The next morning, the housekeeper comes in and finds Lestat dead, an apparent suicide. Louis is upset and confused, and people are acting very strange about him

They think Louis killed his husband! But he didn't :(

Daniel and Armand go to Louis, so Armand can talk to him. Armand comforts him a bit, until Louis gets a call. Its revealed that he'd already hired Raglan James as his attorney, and didn't need Armand for it

Daniel asks housekeeper about it all (im thinking the housekeeper may be Babette, either way doesn't matter) and learns that the marriage wasn't doing too good. Separate bedrooms, Louis having a possible affair. But the weird thing is? The alarm was off when Babette got there that morning...

David has Daniel thrown off the property, and Armand is here now and FREAKING OUT! Angrily agrees to lunch w David, that he may go to work there

Of all people, Louis hired that bitch Raglan James! Instead of Armand! His friend of many YEARS!

Speedrun of the next bits:

James asks Daniel to work for him, and eventually Daniel agrees, but James tries to get him to pay off a witness. He thinks Louis is guilty. Daniel and Armand fight over his working for James. Armand has lunch w David; Claudia and Madeleine meet for the first time. He really does go to work for David but HATES it. Quits. Daniel quits working for James, too. Louis shows up, hears that Armand thinks he's innocent, and him and Armand make up.

Eventually some things happen and the killer is revealed. I won't spoil it all. But the bad guy gets arrested and everything is OK.

Section 2

This AU is not based on an episode, just the premise of the show itself. It involves Louis and Lestat, with the murder of their daughter and trying to figure out who did it. There's less thought put into this one so far, but it's more important, as it's the actual canon for tL&DM

CONCLUSION

De Romanus for the People is NOT canon to the real lore, just kinda fun

If you made it to the end WOW cause I have typed far too many words here and I apologize. Passionate soul and all that

If you have lore questions feel free to ask because I am actually insane about the show + this AU

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

November 22, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

NOV 23, 2023

“It all began so beautifully,” Lady Bird remembered. “After a drizzle in the morning, the sun came out bright and beautiful. We were going into Dallas.” 

It was November 22, 1963, and President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy were visiting Texas. They were there, in the home state of Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, to try to heal a rift in the Democratic Party. The white supremacists who made up the base of the party’s southern wing loathed the Kennedy administration’s support for Black rights.

That base had turned on Kennedy when he and his brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, had backed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in fall 1962 saying that army veteran James Meredith had the right to enroll at the University of Mississippi, more commonly known as Ole Miss.   

When the Department of Justice ordered officials at Ole Miss to register Meredith, Mississippi governor Ross Barnett physically barred Meredith from entering the building and vowed to defend segregation and states’ rights. 

So the Department of Justice detailed dozens of U.S. marshals to escort Meredith to the registrar and put more than 500 law enforcement officers on the campus. White supremacists rushed to meet them there and became increasingly violent. That night, Barnett told a radio audience: “We will never surrender!” The rioters destroyed property and, under cover of the darkness, fired at reporters and the federal marshals. They killed two men and wounded many others. 

The riot ended when the president sent 20,000 troops to the campus. On October 1, Meredith became the first Black American to enroll at the University of Mississippi.

The Kennedys had made it clear that the federal government would stand behind civil rights, and white supremacists joined right-wing Republicans in insisting that their stance proved that the Kennedys were communists. Using a strong federal government to regulate business meant preventing a man from making all the money he could; protecting civil rights would take tax dollars from white Americans for the benefit of Black and Brown people. A bumper sticker produced during the Mississippi crisis warned that “the Castro Brothers”—equating the Kennedys with communist revolutionaries in Cuba—had gone to Ole Miss. 

That conflation of Black rights and communism stoked such anger in the southern right wing that Kennedy felt obliged to travel to Dallas to try to mend some fences in the state Democratic Party. 

On the morning of November 22, 1963, the Dallas Morning News contained a flyer saying the president was wanted for “treason” for “betraying the Constitution” and giving “support and encouragement to the Communist inspired racial riots.” Kennedy warned his wife that they were “heading into nut country today.”

But the motorcade through Dallas started out in a party atmosphere. At the head of the procession, the president and first lady waved from their car at the streets “lined with people—lots and lots of people—the children all smiling, placards, confetti, people waving from windows,” Lady Bird remembered. “There had been such a gala air,” she said, that when she heard three shots, “I thought it must be firecrackers or some sort of celebration.”

The Secret Service agents had no such moment of confusion. The cars sped forward, “terrifically fast—faster and faster,” according to Lady Bird, until they arrived at a hospital, which made Mrs. Johnson realize what had happened. “As we ground to a halt” and Secret Service agents began to pull them out of the cars, Lady Bird wrote, “I cast one last look over my shoulder and saw in the President’s car a bundle of pink, just like a drift of blossoms, lying on the back seat…Mrs. Kennedy lying over the President’s body.” 

As they waited for news of the president, LBJ asked Lady Bird to go find Mrs. Kennedy. Lady Bird recalled that Secret Service agents “began to lead me up one corridor, back stairs, and down another. Suddenly, I found myself face to face with Jackie in a small hall…outside the operating room. You always think of her—or someone like her—as being insulated, protected; she was quite alone. I don’t think I ever saw anyone so much alone in my life.” 

After trying to comfort Mrs. Kennedy, Lady Bird went back to the room where her own husband was. It was there that Kennedy’s special assistant told them, “The President is dead,” just before journalist Malcolm Kilduff entered and addressed LBJ as “Mr. President.” 

Officials wanted LBJ out of Dallas as quickly as possible and rushed the party to the airport. Looking out the car window, Lady Bird saw a flag already at half mast and later recalled, “[T]hat is when the enormity of what had happened first struck me.” 

In the confusion—in addition to the murder of the president, no one knew how extensive the plot against the government was—the attorney general wanted LBJ sworn into office as quickly as possible. Already on the plane to return to Washington, D.C., the party waited for Judge Sarah Hughes, a Dallas federal judge. By the time Hughes arrived, so had Mrs. Kennedy and the coffin bearing her husband’s body. “[A]nd there in the very narrow confines of the plane—with Jackie on his left with her hair falling in her face, but very composed, and me on his right, Judge Hughes, with the Bible, in front of him and a cluster of Secret Service people and Congressmen we had known for a long time around him—Lyndon took the oath of office,” Lady Bird recalled. 

As the plane traveled to Washington, D.C., Lady Bird went into the private presidential cabin to see Mrs. Kennedy, passing President Kennedy’s casket in the hallway. 

Lady Bird later recalled: “I looked at her. Mrs. Kennedy’s dress was stained with blood. One leg was almost entirely covered with it and her right glove was caked…with blood—her husband’s blood. She always wore gloves like she was used to them. I never could. Somehow that was one of the most poignant sights—exquisitely dressed and caked in blood. I asked her if I couldn’t get someone in to help her change and she said, ‘Oh, no. Perhaps later…but not right now.’”

“And then,” Lady Bird remembered, “with something—if, with a person that gentle, that dignified, you can say had an element of fierceness, she said, ‘I want them to see what they have done to Jack.’”

[dontmeantobepoliticalbut]

A Texas Republican who has led the charge to ban all-ages drag shows because of his deep concern over “the sexualization of our children” is facing allegations of inviting an intern to his home late on a weekend night and serving her alcohol even though she isn’t old enough to legally drink.

Texas state Rep. Bryan Slaton has reportedly had a complaint filed against him with the Texas state legislature that claims he had an “inappropriate relationship” with an intern.

A complaint filed with the House General Investigating Committee by a legislative staffer and obtained by The Texas Tribune, as well as a Tribune source with direct knowledge of the incident, said that Stanton called the intern, who is under age 21, after 10 p.m. on Friday, March 31, and invited her to his apartment, where he served her alcohol.

According to allegations in the complaint obtained by the Tribune, Slaton later showed that intern fake emails that claimed to have information about the incident in an apparent loyalty test, and told her not to tell anyone about the incident.

Slaton’s attorney denied the claims.

“We are aware of outrageous claims circulating online by second-tier media that make false claims against Representative Slaton,” Slaton's attorney Patrick Short said in a statement to The Texas Tribune. “As a result, he has been advised to forward all inquiries in this matter—including any that may relate to a possible complaint—to his legal counsel.”

Slaton, who is 45 years old, has spent more than a year denouncing all-ages drag performances, and last month he introduced a bill to ban drag shows from having kids in attendance.

“In the wake of these erotic drag performances sweeping our state, I committed last year to filing legislation that would stop this disgusting practice in the presence of children,” he said in a statement announcing the bill.

“The State has a duty to protect kids from being sexually exploited, and HB 4129 is the most comprehensive bill to stop the sexualization of kids by these performances,” he continued.

Slaton has previously blasted an all-ages drag show as a “grooming event.”

“This is just going to the grooming, the sexualization of our children,” he said last summer. “This comes down to decency, morality and ethics, and children should not be the object of your sexualization, your desires.”

Just days ago, after the incident with the intern allegedly occurred, Slaton posted a Bible passage warning against those who would lead children astray:

Slaton was absent from the Texas legislature last Thursday, a major legislative day.

The lawmaker has pushed for some other extreme laws as well. He proposed giving property tax cuts to straight, married couples—but not to married LGBTQ couples or those who have previously been divorced. He also filed a bill to allow Texans to vote on secession from the United States.

Texas Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan said that his office would look into the accusations.

“The Texas House does not tolerate misconduct or other inappropriate behaviors and takes all allegations related to these issues seriously,” he said in a statement. “I expect this matter to be addressed in a swift and thorough manner under the rules governing our chamber for the 88th Legislature and all applicable standards of conduct.”

Who Can Buy Land in USA?

Who Can Buy Land in USA? A Foreigner’s Guide to Buying Land in the USA

Discount Lots SEARCH LAND FOR SALE If you’re interested in purchasing land in the United States, you may wonder who can buy land in USA. The answer is that both American citizens and foreign nationals can purchase property in the United States. However, foreign purchasers have some restrictions when it comes to owning a parcel of land. In this article, we’ll explore who can buy land in USA and whether or not you can own a parcel of land as a foreigner. Read on to learn about who can purchase land in the United States.

Who Can Buy Land in USA?

Generally, about anyone with the financial means and who meets certain eligibility criteria can purchase land in the USA. US Citizens and Permanent Residents US citizens who are 18 years or older and have a credit score of at least 650 can buy land in the United States. Additionally, permanent residents who have lived and worked in the US for at least two years may be eligible to purchase a plot of land. Companies and Corporations Companies and corporations authorized to conduct business in the US may be eligible to buy land. Additionally, they must meet certain requirements set by lenders who will review their financial situation and credit score. International Investors Non-US citizens looking to purchase a parcel of land in the United States must have a valid visa and meet certain requirements set by lenders. This includes having a certain credit score, proof of residency in the US for at least two years, and providing any other documents that may be necessary depending on who you are buying from. Additionally, you might have to pay additional taxes or fees, so it’s best to research all of the relevant laws and regulations before signing any contracts.

Are There Additional Rules and Regulations for Non-Residents?

Foreigners interested in investing in the land may also be subject to additional rules and regulations depending on the state they wish to purchase the property. For example, Florida has specific laws that must be followed regarding foreign real estate purchases. Additionally, certain types of land may require approval from certain government agencies before a sale can happen. It is also important to understand that various other taxes and fees you might incur when buying land in the United States. These may include transfer taxes, title insurance costs, property taxes, and other closing costs. Before entering into a contract to buy land in the United States, it’s important to consult an attorney familiar with international transactions, as well as the laws and regulations in the state where you wish to purchase the property.

Does Buying Land in the US Automatically Grant Me Citizenship?

Purchasing land in the US can be a great opportunity for investors who have the means to do so. However, it’s important to know that purchasing land in the US does not automatically grant you citizenship. In order to become a citizen of the United States, you must go through a rigorous application process and meet other criteria set by the US government.

Where Are Foreign Buyers of US Land From?

Foreign purchasers who are interested in buying land in the United States typically come from the region of Asia, which makes up 22% of the total number of foreign land buyers. People from this region tend to invest in properties because the US real estate market is more stable than in other countries. The sales price of land is also more affordable.

Where Do Foreigners Buy Property in the USA?

There are many desirable states for foreigners to buy property. Some of the most popular destinations for international real estate transactions include Texas, California, and Florida. Each state offers unique opportunities to buy land with stunning scenery, a warm climate, and thriving real estate markets. - Texas is an attractive choice for non-resident buyers looking to invest in land due to its low taxes and business-friendly regulations. - California offers stunning scenery, climate, and culture and access to some of the US’s most desirable real estate markets. - Florida is another popular choice due to its year-round warm climate and relatively affordable real estate prices. Ultimately, who can buy land in the USA will depend on the individual’s financial situation and ability to meet the various requirements set by lenders and government agencies. It’s important to research all of the applicable laws, regulations, taxes, and fees before entering into a contract to purchase land in any state. With proper planning and guidance, foreign investors who meet the requirements can own a piece of the American dream. SEARCH LAND FOR SALE

Top Things to Consider Before Buying Land in the USA

When considering who can buy land in USA, there are a few important things to remember. Why Do You Want to Buy an American Property? Your primary objective should be to determine the purpose of your purchase. Are you looking for a vacation home, an investment property, or something else? Examine the regions and property kinds that have historically performed well and provided solid returns. Look for upcoming events that might increase demand for real estate, such as major festivals, sporting events, or even specific construction projects, such as a new harbor or shopping center. Can You Stay in the USA? Despite the fact that the USA has long been a favorite destination for foreign property searchers, most people can only enter the country for up to 90 days per year for either business or pleasure. Therefore, you must possess a B-2 visa if you want to spend more time maximizing your property. The holder of this visa may stay for up to six months. Additionally, those applying for a B-2 visa must demonstrate that they have enough money to maintain themselves abroad. Have You Thought About Where Your Land Will Be Located in the US? It’s good to visit any property or development in person. That way, you can see for yourself what the neighborhood is really like, get a sense of the surroundings and the actual property, see how close it is to local amenities, any extras like beaches or outdoor adventures, and check out public transportation options. Do You Have a Set Budget? While you can easily find cheap land for sale across the country, it’s crucial to estimate how much your property will ultimately cost you and how you plan to pay for it. You may use any finances more effectively to identify the ideal property if you clearly understand your budget, enabling you to set particular goals. You might need to convert your local currency into US dollars if you purchase real estate in the US. Early on in your research, get in touch with a currency expert so you can stay on top of exchange rates and prepare for how changes in the currency will influence your guests. This way, you may incorporate your overseas payments into your total spending plan and maintain control of any less obvious costs. Prepare for Extra Charges and Hidden Fees You could be pleasantly surprised to learn that there aren’t too many additional costs while purchasing in the US, despite the possibility that there will be. Since US property taxes and levies are among the lowest in the world, you should normally allow them in the purchase price. However, if you own a property in a resort, you may be responsible for additional expenses. It is also important to remember that you can encounter unforeseen expenses here if and when the time comes to sell your US property. The seller frequently covers the cost, for instance. The American tax system is famous for being complicated; for help, contact a financial or legal professional. SEARCH LAND FOR SALE

How to Buy Property in the USA as a Non-Citizen?

Foreigners can easily buy land in the USA without a green card, a specific kind of visa, or even USA citizenship. As we mentioned earlier, they are ought to have a valid visa and proof of residency in the US for at least two years. Here are some important things to know for a smooth buying process. Understand the Tax Implications It’s important to understand the tax implications of buying property in the US while living abroad. The Real Property Tax Act  The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) dictates who is eligible to buy real estate in the US, who pays taxes on it, and other related matters. The Act requires foreign buyers who sell their property to pay a 10-15% capital gains tax. Every foreign land investor is given a taxpayer identification number. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) uses this individual taxpayer identification number to track rental income and other taxes associated with owning property in the United States. Failure to obtain this number can result in fines, penalties, or even having your property seized by the government. Non-resident owners planning to spend more than 180 days in the country over a 12-month period need to register for a tax identification number. Tax Treaties There are numerous international tax treaties that the US has signed. These agreements are made to limit the possibility of double taxation. The tax treaty may lower the taxes you would ordinarily pay on income from a US property if you are a resident of a nation having a US tax treaty. Tax Rates In general, the government taxes any income from real estate in the US that a non-resident owns that is not actually tied to a US trade or enterprise at a 30% rate. This rate might be lower if your resident country and the US have a tax treaty. How Your Property Income Is Treated A non-resident immigrant may treat all income from property that generates income in the US as being inextricably linked to a US trade or enterprise if they own it or have an interest in it. This is known as the Section 871(d) election. If you choose this option, you can deduct expenses related to real estate income, making the net income taxable. This will apply to all income derived from US-based real estate. SEARCH LAND FOR SALE Financing Options as a Foreigner Cash payment is the simplest method for foreign investors. Typically, you can request an international wire transfer via your local bank. That way, you wouldn’t have to be concerned about currency conversion. Can Foreigners Qualify for a US Mortgage? You will face a much more difficult process if you’re looking to get a conventional loan from an American bank. For foreign national mortgages, you can expect to come up with a 50% down payment for the property. If you’re living in the US, you’ll face many issues, and the bank’s decisions could be based on whether or not you are a citizen or a green card holder. This is not going to be an easy route.

What’s the Easiest Way for Foreigners to Buy Land in the USA?

The easiest way for foreign people to buy land in the US is to pay for it in cash. Paying for the property in full means that the title transfers to you immediately, and it’s a done deal. If cash isn’t an option, then the next best thing would be to attempt owner financing. Owner financing is a great option for foreigners purchasing property without the hassle of securing a traditional mortgage. Here’s where DiscountLots can help immensely!  It allows buyers to make payments directly to the property seller rather than through a third-party lender who approves mortgages. By taking advantage of Discount Lots’ owner financing options, you can save money by taking advantage of discounted rates. This can help to reduce the overall cost of buying land in the United States, making it more accessible and attainable for any non-US citizen who wishes to purchase real property here. With Discount Lots, you can easily find owner financing options that are right for your budget and needs. We don’t require credit history checks, there are no prepayment penalties and you can learn more about our owner financing process here.

Do Foreign Buyers Have to Pay Extra Stamp Duties?

Foreigners purchasing real estate in the US are not subject to any additional stamp duty, as opposed to Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, and Melbourne, which all increased the tax paid by foreign buyers from 7% to 30%. There are no restrictions when foreigners purchase real estate in the United States. In reality, many affluent overseas investors buy investment properties, including single-family homes, multi-unit apartments or condos, and even commercial properties like shopping centers. They also buy residential lands and vacation homes in the United States. Foreigners and Americans each pay the same amount in stamp duty. Additionally, you might add the stamp duty (property transfer tax) to the cost basis of the property when you sell it, lowering your future tax liability.

How Long Does the Land Buying Process Take in the US?

The purchase process for real estate in the US can take anywhere from four to eight weeks. This largely depends on the complexity of the transaction and who is involved—i.e., individuals, lenders, corporate entities, or trusts. It’s important to remember that if you’re a foreigner purchasing land in the US, you’ll need to set up a U.S.-based bank account prior to closing the transaction. This will ensure that you can wire the funds for your purchase in a timely manner and that everything remains secure.

Who Can Buy Land in USA: Final Thoughts

Foreigners who want to buy land in the United States of America can easily do so. The easiest way for a foreign buyer to purchase land is by paying for it in cash. Though, the most convenient option available is through owner financing. Additionally, foreign buyers who purchase real estate in the US pay the same stamp duty as domestic buyers and can expect their transaction to take four to eight weeks to complete. Discount Lots has access to a wide range of land and owner financing options that make buying property in the US easier for foreign buyers. We sell land directly to you, so there’s no need for a real estate agent or any third-party involvement. Contact us today for more information about purchasing land in the USA!

TEXAS HOUSE Newbies to fill 9 area seats

ELECTIONS ’24

Four candidates, two from each party, are running unopposed

Thanks to a wave of retirements and primary election defeats, nine North Texas seats in the state House will be filled by newcomers after the Nov. 5 election.

Four candidates are running unopposed.

The local races without a House incumbent are:

DISTRICT 33

Katrina Pierson, Republican:

Pierson is running unopposed and will be the next lawmaker for a district that includes all of Rockwall County and a portion of Collin County.

Pierson defeated Rep. Justin Holland, R-Rockwall, in the May 28 primary runoff election, 56% to 44%.

A former national spokesperson for former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, Pierson ran as a candidate who would reform the Texas House and opposes Democrats serving as chairs of legislative committees.

She supports Rep. David Cook, R-Mansfield to replace Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, as House speaker.

DISTRICT 61

Tony Adams, Democrat:

Adams, a small-business owner in Collin County, is running on unifying and working collaboratively with Republican lawmakers.

Adams opposes sending public tax dollars to private schools and wants stronger gun laws in Texas.

He also opposes Texas’ near-total ban on abortion.

Adams faces an uphill battle in a solidly Republican district that includes parts of McKinney and Frisco.

Keresa Richardson, Republican: Richardson, CEO of the Lawton Group, defeated Rep. Frederick Frazier, R-McKinney, in the May primary runoff 68% to 32%.

Richardson challenged Frazier’s conservative credentials and received Ken Paxton’s support after Frazier voted to impeach the attorney general.

Richardson said working with Democratic lawmakers gave the minority party too much influence and watered down Republican priorities.

She supports creating a school voucher program and a Texas Border Unit to enforce immigration laws, and she said she believes the state constitution should be amended to require proof of citizenship before an individual can register to vote.

DISTRICT 64

Angela Brewer, Democrat: Brewer, an adjunct professor at the University of North Texas, ran an unsuccessful campaign against Rep. Lynn Stucky, R-Denton, in 2020, losing by 10 points.

Brewer told KERA News that Gov. Greg Abbott’s push to allow school vouchers was one of her big motivations to run and said she is “100% committed against” school choice.

Her other key legislative issue is protecting abortion access, promising to file a bill repealing the state’s abortion ban.

Andy Hopper, Republican:

Hopper, an engineer and chief warrant officer for the Texas State Guard, defeated Stucky in the May primary runoff by 12 points, receiving the support of Paxton.

He signed the “Contract with Texas,” a pledge to support conservative priorities, including a ban on Democratic committee chairs and term limits for House speaker.

He supports school choice and believes the Legislature should make it a crime to travel out of state for an abortion.

DISTRICT 65

Detrick DeBurr, Democrat:

DeBurr, a software engineer and planning and zoning commissioner for The Colony, said he is running because he believes the district, which cuts east to west across Denton County, has seen tremendous growth and by serving as commissioner, he understands what priorities are needed.

DeBurr describes himself as “very conservative, yet thoughtful and compassionate.”

His legislative priorities include increasing public school funding and expanding Medicaid in Texas.

Mitch Little, Republican:

Little was an impeachment lawyer for Paxton during last year’s Senate trial.

He defeated Rep. Kronda Thimesch, R-Lewisville, in the March primary. His campaign priorities include election integrity, reducing property taxes, securing the U.S.-Mexico border and reforming the House, saying change is needed to advance conservative priorities.

DISTRICT 91

David Lowe, Republican:

Lowe is running unopposed after defeating Rep. Stephanie Klick, R-Fort Worth,

in the May 28 runoff, despite Klick having Abbott’s backing and serving as chair of the Public Health Committee.

Lowe, an Army veteran, criticized Klick from the right, including her vote to impeach Paxton.

Lowe was endorsed by Paxton and supports eliminating property taxes, opposes red flag gun safety laws and wants to eliminate in-state college tuition for undocumented migrants.

DISTRICT 97

Carlos Walker, Democrat:

Walker, director of Fort Worth ISD’s Family Action Center, lists four priorities on his campaign website: public education, property tax relief, women’s rights and support for farmers.

The Republican-leaning district includes western Tarrant County.

John McQueeney, Republican:

McQueeney, the CEO of Vision Companies, lists his priorities as border security, increasing school funding, passing school choice, helping foster business growth and protecting the First Amendment.

The district is currently represented by Rep. Craig Goldman, R-Fort Worth, who is running for Congress.

DISTRICT 107

Linda Garcia, Democrat:

Garcia, an entrepreneur and financial literacy educator, is running unopposed to replace Rep. Victoria Neave Criado, D-Dallas,

who challenged Dallas Sen. Nathan Johnson in the Democratic primary but lost.

Garcia wants to expand Medicaid, invest more in infrastructure and affordable housing, restore reproductive rights and increase funding for public schools.

DISTRICT 109

Aicha Davis, Democrat:

Davis is running unopposed to replace Rep. Carl Sherman, D-DeSoto, who was defeated in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Davis is a six-year member of the State Board of Education. She opposes universal school vouchers, believes teachers should get a pay raise and does not support legislative efforts to restrict access to books deemed inappropriate for children.

DISTRICT 115

Cassandra Hernandez, Democrat: Hernandez is seeking to replace Rep. Julie Johnson, D-Farmers Branch, who is running for Congress. Hernandez, an attorney, lists gun violence reform as a key issue. Her campaign website says she lost her father to gun violence. Her other priorities include expanding Medicaid, cutting property taxes and addressing the fentanyl crisis.

John Jun, Republican: Jun, a Navy veteran and attorney, is a former member and mayor pro tem of the Coppell City Council. He said he opposes school vouchers and would increase school funding. His other legislative priorities include cutting taxes and supporting small businesses by limiting regulations.

Assessing Your Situation Discreetly Before initiating a divorce, discreetly assess your situation by evaluating your emotional state, financial condition, and legal standing. These aspects are crucial in the divorce process and need careful consideration to avoid complications. Paying attention to your emotional well-being, understanding your financial situation, and seeking legal advice are essential steps in preparing for a divorce. Emotional Preparation Divorce is an emotional journey that can be incredibly challenging. Finding a supportive therapist or a trusted friend to help navigate the emotional challenges of divorce can be incredibly beneficial. Assistance from a mental health professional can significantly aid in managing emotional turmoil, ensuring your mental health remains intact. This careful planning can make a significant difference in maintaining your emotional well-being during this challenging time. The emotional challenges of divorce can be overwhelming, often leading to financial strain and distress for all involved. Prioritizing your emotional well-being and addressing your emotional needs early can help you better handle the divorce process and make more informed decisions about your future. Financial Evaluation Understanding your financial situation is fundamental in preparing for divorce. Gather financial documents such as bank statements, investment accounts, and vehicle titles to evaluate your assets and liabilities. This evaluation will help you prepare for the financial changes that come with divorce. Building an emergency fund to cover at least three to six months of living expenses is also important. This financial stability provides a safety net during the divorce process and helps manage any unexpected financial challenges. Having a clear picture of your financial disclosures and asset division is crucial for a smooth transition, ensuring a fair division. Legal Considerations Legal considerations play a critical role in the divorce process. In Texas, a no-fault divorce state, known as insupportability, is common and reflects mutual agreement between spouses in uncontested divorces. Consulting with a divorce attorney ensures you are aware of your rights and responsibilities and allows you to make informed decisions throughout the proceedings. It is essential to understand the legal process and the implications of Texas community property state laws. In Texas, all property acquired during the marriage is considered community property and will be divided equally. An experienced attorney can guide you through the legal process, helping you understand tax consequences, custody arrangements, and other legal matters. Preparing for divorce involves understanding your legal rights and responsibilities. Seeking legal assistance early helps you navigate the process more effectively and ensures your best interests are protected. Gathering Essential Documents Gathering essential documents is crucial in the divorce process. Organizing key financial documents, securing personal assets, and creating a financial plan will help you understand your financial situation, protect sensitive information, and ease the legal process. Financial Documents Collecting financial documents is essential for understanding your financial situation and ensuring fair asset division during a divorce. Important records to gather include tax returns, retirement account statements, and bank statements. These provide a comprehensive view of your finances, helping you and your attorney make informed decisions. Statements from joint accounts clarify shared assets and liabilities. Having all pertinent financial documents streamlines the divorce proceedings and facilitates equitable asset division. Proper documentation protects your financial interests. Property Records Gathering property records is essential in preparing for divorce. Collect deeds and mortgage statements to accurately establish ownership and value of all real estate assets. Proper documentation of property records helps assess the value of marital assets and ensures fair property division during divorce proceedings. Personal Records Collecting personal records is crucial for verifying identities and establishing custody arrangements during divorce proceedings. Gather birth certificates, social security cards, medical records, and school records. These documents address residency requirements and protect sensitive information. Safeguarding Personal Assets Safeguarding personal assets is critical in the divorce process. This involves opening a separate bank account and securing valuables to protect your financial interests and maintain stability. Taking these steps ensures that your assets are protected from potential disputes during the divorce proceedings. Opening a Separate Bank Account Opening a separate bank account maintains financial independence during a divorce. It helps prevent joint debts from affecting your credit and ensures control over your personal finances. This step is crucial for protecting your financial stability during the divorce process. Securing Valuables Securing valuables is important in safeguarding personal assets during a divorce. Use a safe deposit box or a secure place in your home to store jewelry, family heirlooms, and other valuable possessions. Additionally, secure important documents such as passports, birth certificates, and legal papers in a private location where they cannot be easily accessed by your spouse. This ensures your valuables remain protected throughout the divorce process. Creating a Financial Plan Creating a financial plan is vital for managing your finances during and after the divorce. Understanding your complete financial picture, including assets and liabilities, is essential for planning post-divorce life. A comprehensive financial plan ensures both immediate and future financial stability, making the transition smoother. Budgeting for Divorce Establishing a budget during a divorce helps manage finances and plan for new financial realities. Create a budget that accurately reflects changing income and expenses post-divorce. Separate essential expenses from discretionary spending to clarify financial needs after the divorce. Income documents, including pay stubs and tax returns, are essential for assessing financial responsibilities during a divorce. Retirement accounts and pension statements also play a crucial role in determining their value and influencing asset division. An effective budgeting process ensures you are well-prepared for the financial changes that come with divorce. Building an Emergency Fund Building an emergency fund covers unexpected expenses that may arise during the divorce process. Set aside funds to cover at least three to six months of living expenses for financial security and stability. This fund acts as a safety net, helping you manage any unforeseen financial challenges. Maintaining Privacy and Security Maintaining privacy and security is essential during the divorce process. Change passwords and use secure communication methods to protect sensitive information. Keeping your personal and financial information confidential safeguards your interests. Changing Passwords Changing passwords during a divorce prevents your spouse from accessing personal information and sensitive financial details. Updating passwords and changing mailing addresses on accounts further safeguards your information and ensures privacy. Using Secure Communication Using secure communication methods protects sensitive information during divorce proceedings. Encrypted messaging apps enhance confidentiality and prevent unauthorized access to personal discussions. Maintaining secure communication ensures your interests are protected throughout the divorce process. Avoiding Negative Behaviors Avoiding negative behaviors is crucial during divorce proceedings. Documenting communications and exercising caution on social media can significantly impact the outcome of your case. Detrimental behaviors could undermine your position in court. Social Media Caution Social media activity can significantly influence divorce proceedings. Posts about personal circumstances, such as new relationships or lavish spending, can undermine claims of financial need. Avoid discussing ongoing divorce issues on social media to prevent negative repercussions in court. Documenting Communications Documenting communications with your spouse during the divorce process is crucial for reference and potential evidence. Detailed records of discussions about child custody, financial arrangements, or settlement offers, as well as documents related to these matters, can provide an advantage in negotiations and protect your interests in court. Consulting with a Family Law Attorney Consulting with a family law attorney is crucial in preparing for divorce. Early consultation provides a clear understanding of spousal support, child custody, and property division outcomes. An experienced divorce attorneys can offer the necessary legal assistance and representation to navigate the divorce process effectively. Confidential Strategy Sessions Engaging in confidential strategy sessions with a qualified divorce attorney is vital for planning.

Selling a house in Texas entails various legal documentation and procedures that home sellers need to understand. In this guide, we'll explain crucial legal paperwork and provide a step-by-step overview of the required documents, such as sale contracts, disclosure forms, and title deeds. Additionally, we'll offer tips on navigating Texas real estate laws and highlight recent advancements in the real estate landscape to streamline your selling process.

The Home Selling Process and Texan Real Estate Laws

Real estate laws in Texas are structured to protect both buyers and sellers during the home selling process. Understanding these laws can help ensure a seamless transaction. Key areas to focus on include:

Property Disclosures: Sellers must disclose any known material defects or issues with the property. This information should be provided in writing using a standard Residential Property Disclosure Form (TREC 1601).

Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: For homes built before 1978, sellers must provide a lead-based paint disclosure form if they are aware of its presence.

Real Estate Agent Representation: Texas law mandates that real estate agents disclose their agency relationships with both buyers and sellers. This ensures transparency and helps avoid conflicts of interest.

Navigating the Sale Contract

The sales contract is a legally binding agreement between the buyer and seller. Essential elements of the contract include:

Property Description: The contract should accurately describe the property, including its address, legal description, and any included personal property.

Purchase Price and Financing: The contract should specify the purchase price and any contingencies related to the buyer's financing.

Earnest Money: The contract should outline the amount of earnest money the buyer is providing and how it will be handled.

Contingencies: The contract should include any contingencies, such as inspections, appraisals, or title clearance, that must be met before finalizing the sale.

Closing Date: The contract should specify the closing date, which is the final step in the home selling process.

Title Deeds and Legal Documentation

Title deeds are legal documents that prove property ownership. In Texas, the seller must provide a clear title, free from liens or other encumbrances. The title search process includes:

Ordering a Title Search: A title company or attorney will search public records to verify that the seller has the legal right to transfer the property.

Resolving Title Issues: If any issues are found, such as liens or unpaid property taxes, the seller must resolve them before closing.

Issuing a Title Commitment: After completing the title search, the title company will issue a title commitment, outlining any exceptions to the title insurance policy.

The Closing Process

The closing process involves the final transfer of ownership and payment. Key steps include:

Preparing Closing Documents: The title company or attorney will prepare all necessary documents, such as the deed, mortgage, and settlement statement.

Conducting the Closing: The buyer, seller, and their respective representatives will meet to sign documents, transfer funds, and finalize the sale.

Recording the Deed: The title company will record the deed with the county clerk, officially transferring property ownership.

Stay informed about Texas real estate laws and regulations to ensure a smooth home selling process. Work with a reputable real estate agent or attorney to navigate the legal paperwork and avoid potential pitfalls. Ensure all disclosures are accurate and thorough to prevent future disputes or legal complications. Carefully review and negotiate the sales contract to protect your interests. Order a title search early in the selling process to address any issues promptly.

Prime Locations for Investment Property for Sale

Prime locations for investment property for sale offer unparalleled opportunities for significant returns and long-term value. Urban centers with strong job markets, such as New York, Los Angeles, and Miami, attract a steady stream of tenants, ensuring high occupancy rates. Coastal cities and tourist hotspots like Orlando and Las Vegas provide lucrative vacation rental prospects. Emerging markets with rapid economic growth, such as Austin and Nashville, promise substantial property appreciation. Additionally, areas with top-rated schools and amenities appeal to families, guaranteeing stable rental demand. Identifying these prime locations allows investors to capitalize on favorable market conditions, ensuring a profitable and secure investment in real estate.

Identifying the Best Markets for Investment Property for Sale

When seeking investment property for sale, it's crucial to identify markets with strong growth potential. Look for cities with robust job markets, population growth, and economic stability. Places like Austin, Texas, and Raleigh, North Carolina, have shown consistent demand for housing, making them excellent choices for property investment. These markets often offer favorable rental yields and potential for appreciation, ensuring a solid return on investment.

Evaluating the Condition of Investment Property for Sale

Before purchasing investment property for sale, thoroughly evaluate its condition. Inspect the property for structural integrity, necessary repairs, and overall maintenance. Properties in good condition require less upfront investment in renovations and can generate rental income more quickly. Additionally, well-maintained properties are more attractive to tenants, ensuring higher occupancy rates and consistent cash flow.

Financing Options for Investment Property for Sale

Securing financing for investment property for sale can be different from financing a primary residence. Investors have various options, including conventional loans, hard money loans, and private financing. Understanding the pros and cons of each financing method helps in selecting the best option to maximize return on investment. It’s also beneficial to have a strong credit score and a substantial down payment to secure favorable loan terms.

Analyzing the Rental Income Potential of Investment Property for Sale

A key factor in choosing investment property for sale is its rental income potential. Analyze the local rental market, average rental rates, and vacancy rates to estimate potential income. Consider properties in high-demand areas with low vacancy rates and stable rental prices. Additionally, look at the property's features, such as number of bedrooms, amenities, and proximity to schools or business districts, which can influence rental demand and income.

Understanding the Legal Aspects of Investment Property for Sale

Investing in property involves understanding various legal aspects. This includes zoning laws, property taxes, landlord-tenant laws, and building codes. It’s essential to conduct due diligence to ensure the investment property for sale complies with all local regulations. Consulting with a real estate attorney or a professional familiar with local real estate laws can prevent legal issues and protect your investment.

Leveraging Property Management for Investment Property for Sale

Effective property management is vital for the success of any investment property for sale. Consider whether you will manage the property yourself or hire a professional property management company. Professional managers can handle tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance, and legal compliance, freeing up your time and ensuring the property is well-maintained. This can lead to higher tenant satisfaction, reduced vacancy rates, and consistent rental income.

Forecasting Long-Term Appreciation of Investment Property for Sale

When evaluating investment property for sale, consider its long-term appreciation potential. Research historical property value trends in the area and future development plans that could impact property values. Locations with planned infrastructure improvements, new business developments, and community enhancements are likely to see property value increases. Investing in such areas can lead to substantial appreciation over time, adding to the overall profitability of your investment.

Conclusion

Identifying prime locations for investment property for sale is crucial for maximizing returns and ensuring long-term value. Urban centers with robust job markets, coastal cities with high tourist traffic, and emerging markets with rapid growth present excellent opportunities. Additionally, areas with top-rated schools and desirable amenities attract stable, long-term tenants. Thoroughly researching these prime locations and understanding local market dynamics can lead to lucrative investment decisions. By focusing on areas with strong demand, favorable economic conditions, and potential for property appreciation, investors can secure profitable and sustainable real estate investments, ultimately achieving their financial goals and building a successful property portfolio.
