Your Legal Questions Answered

FAQs About Our Houston Heights Legal Services

Find answers to common questions across our three practice areas.

Texas has a 60-day waiting period from filing to finalization. However, the total timeline depends on whether your case is contested and how quickly you and your spouse agree on terms. Most uncontested divorces take 2–4 months. Contested cases can take longer. We’ll estimate your timeline during consultation.
Harris County family courts consider the “best interests of the child,” including each parent’s ability to provide care, the child’s needs, existing relationships, school and community ties, and each parent’s involvement. Courts also consider the child’s preferences if they’re old enough. Our attorneys advocate forcefully for your custody goals.
In Texas, most assets acquired during marriage are considered community property and are divided 50/50 in divorce. However, separate property (owned before marriage, inherited, or received as a gift) remains yours. Property division can be complex, especially with business interests or real estate. We ensure your assets are protected.
Yes. If there’s a material and substantial change in circumstances—such as job loss, income increase, or custody changes—either parent can request modification. Harris County courts review support orders to ensure they remain fair. Contact us if your situation has changed significantly.
Exercise your right to remain silent and contact our office immediately. Do not answer questions without counsel present. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC will begin building your defense right away and ensure your constitutional rights are protected.
Possibly. We investigate every DWI arrest thoroughly—checking if proper procedures were followed, if breathalyzer equipment was calibrated, if your rights were respected, and if probable cause existed for the traffic stop. Many DWI cases have defensible issues. We’ll analyze your case and advise your options.
Penalties depend on the amount and type of drug. Possession can result in jail time, fines, license suspension, and a criminal record affecting employment and housing. We fight to minimize penalties, suppress evidence when possible, and negotiate favorable outcomes. Your case is unique—contact us for specific guidance.
Criminal defense costs vary based on case complexity, charges, and whether the case goes to trial. We offer flexible fee arrangements and can discuss costs during your initial consultation. Many clients benefit from our experience and negotiation skills, which can reduce overall expenses.
If you have assets, a family, or wishes about how your property should be handled, yes. Without an estate plan, Texas intestacy laws determine distribution—which may not match your wishes. Estate planning gives you control and provides clarity for your family during a difficult time.
A will takes effect after death and must go through probate (court process). A trust is a legal entity that can hold assets, take effect immediately or after death, and often avoids probate. Trusts offer privacy, efficiency, and flexibility. We’ll recommend the best strategy for your situation.
Review your plan every 3–5 years or after major life changes: marriage, divorce, birth of children, significant asset changes, or relocation. Regular reviews ensure your plan reflects your current wishes and legal status. Contact us to schedule a review.
Probate is the court process of validating and distributing your estate. It can be time-consuming and expensive. A revocable living trust allows your assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without probate, saving time and money. We’ll explain whether trusts or other strategies are right for your estate.
