WAKE UP SAN ANTONIO…ITS NOT A CAR ACCIDENT…it’s a car CRASH!!!

Your child, teenager, or young adult greatest risk of death is in someone else’s hands.

Car crashes (not ‘accidents’) are the No. 1 killer of children, teens and young adults in America.

Now your favorite recording artists, actors and sport athletes are trying to reduce the risks to our children by trying to change the opinions drinking and driving.

 RADD once stood for Recording Artists, Actors, and Athletes Against Drunk Driving, now stands for The Entertainment Industry’s Voice Against Drunk Driving and is best known for its slogan, “Friends don’t let friends drive drunk.”

Not to be confused with MADD, or Mothers Against Drunk Driving, RADD is nonprofit organization formed in 1986 that uses celebrity power and public service announcements such as “friends don’t let friends drive drunk” to promote sober driving and road safety.

John Mayer, Barry Bonds, Paul McCartney, Shaquille O’Neal, Warren G, Tim McGraw, Marc Anthony and Gwen Stefani have backed RADD’s road safety efforts and used their voices to get the word out about the importance of having a designated driver.

The goal of RADD is “to reduce fatalities and injuries across all age groups by promoting safe, sober driving and awareness of road safety.”

Bexar County is reportedly breaking state law requiring the swift examination of every mentally ill prisoner in jail, leaving an untold number of inmates languishing without proper psychiatric care.  Many of the defendants who are housed at the Bexar County jail suffer from mental illness.  Left properly untreated, this results in harm to the inmate, cell mates, the Bexar County employees, and when released, the general public.        As an attorney assigned court appointments, I can tell you first hand, that many of the individual inmates suffer from some form of mental illness that is often not treated, before, during and after their release. San Antonio and Bexar County must do more to properly examine prisoners for mental illness and provide medication, treatment, placement or proper services in a humane and safe manner.

Motorcycle death in San Antonio

     Our client called us today to tell us her sister was killed this past week in a motorcycle crash near IH 10 West and Dezavala road, in San Antonio, Texas.  Her sister was a passenger, and she was wearing a motorcycle helmet, but was killed when thrown off the Harley and crashed into a concrete median.  We extend our sympathies to her and her family.

Recently a local San Antonio television station reported that HOA abuse is on the rise in San Antonio.  HOA stands for Home Owner Association, which is a group of your neighbors who are elected or appointed to run your neighborhood and assess fees against its residents.   According to the report, it stated a man's $165,000 house was auctioned off by the HOA board, to pay a $700 debt. http://fwix.com/sanantonio/share/eb0b2548c7/homeowner_association_foreclosures_skyrocketing?eref=190834_10 They also reported that the HOA added on charges and attorney fees to take the debt up to over $2,000.00. 

If you live in a neighborhood with a HOA, make sure you read your HOA rules and regulations that came with your house closing papers.  Also make sure that the HOA was properly organized.  Many HOA actions are done with good in mind, but with their power and politics their actions can become selective and abusive.  If you feel your HOA is going to far, document everything, take photographs, get actions in writing, and consult with a attorney to assist you before their actions go too far.
