Texas Family & Criminal Law, answered
- How much does a divorce cost in Texas?
- An uncontested Texas divorce typically ranges from $500 to $1,500 in attorney fees plus court filing costs (about $300–$400). A contested divorce involving custody, property, or business assets can run from $5,000 to $30,000+ depending on complexity. Winfrey Law Firm offers flat-fee options for uncontested cases and free consultations to estimate costs for your situation.
- How long does a Texas divorce take?
- Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period from the day you file. An uncontested divorce usually finalizes shortly after that window (roughly 60–90 days total). Contested divorces involving custody or property disputes commonly take 6–12 months, and complex high-asset cases can run longer.
- How is child custody decided in Texas?
- Texas courts award conservatorship (legal decision-making) and possession (physical time) based on the best interest of the child. Judges weigh factors like each parent's stability, the child's needs, prior caregiving, and any history of violence or substance abuse. Joint managing conservatorship is presumed unless it would harm the child.
- What should I do if I've been arrested in Texas?
- Exercise your right to remain silent, ask for a lawyer immediately, and do not discuss the case with police, cellmates, or on jail phones (calls are recorded). Do not consent to searches. Call an attorney before your first court appearance so bond, charges, and defense strategy can be addressed from day one.
- What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor in Texas?
- Misdemeanors (Class A, B, C) carry up to one year in county jail and fines up to $4,000. Felonies (State Jail through First Degree) carry 180 days to life in state prison, with fines up to $10,000. Felonies also cause long-term consequences for firearm rights, voting, housing, and employment.
- Can I expunge or seal my criminal record in Texas?
- You may qualify for an expunction if your case was dismissed, you were acquitted, or you completed a qualifying pretrial diversion. Deferred adjudication convictions are usually not eligible for expunction but may qualify for an Order of Nondisclosure (sealing). Eligibility rules are strict — an attorney review is the fastest way to know your options.
- Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce or simple estate plan?
- Legally, no — but a small filing mistake in a divorce decree or will can create years of expensive problems (unenforceable custody orders, probate disputes, missed asset divisions). A flat-fee attorney review is inexpensive insurance against errors that are hard to undo later.
- Does Winfrey Law Firm offer free consultations?
- Yes. Winfrey Law Firm offers free initial consultations for all practice areas. Call (713) 300-0545 — we take calls 24/7 — to schedule yours.
