Traffic Tickets

I get a lot of calls about traffic tickets. Just about everyone has at some point had a speeding ticket or some other kind of traffic ticket. Dealing with a ticket can take hours out of your day, increase your insurance rate and if you get too many in a certain time period you could face loss or suspension of you license. Minors and holders of a CDL face additional problems. There are many consequences which you could face if a simple ticket is not dealt with properly.
I handle lots of tickets, particularly in the Pearland area. Often you will not even have to appear in the courtroom and your record will be clear after a short probation. Every case is different so you should call to discuss it with me. Whether you want to enter a plea agreement or take it to trial I'm glad to assist. 281-804-1174

Ethan Hein's Blog › Jay-Z and Alan Lomax

This is a fascinating exploration of how copyright law works. Also, it makes you realize how all American music has deep roots in the past. It could be argued(and has been many times) that at the root of all of it is the blues. As to the hand wringing in the comments over the "dysfunction in our copyright system" I'm not concerned. The Lomax clan is responsible for preserving and popularizing so much American music usually with no great financial reward. This case is an extreme example but good fun. Thanks to John Nova Lomax for the heads up.

Texas Film Commission to boost incentives for video game industry

This is a good development for the broader Texas Entertainment industry. The Film Commission is increasing reimbursement from 5% to 15% for video game producers.
Texas Film Commission to boost incentives for video game industry
It is a booming industry here in Texas employing some 4,000 people.

I look forward to working more with this industry. In the last year I have assisted in negotiating music sych licensing for video games and I expect we will be seeing more work with startups-incorporation, contracts, immigration issues and employment issues.
In the meantime, I wonder if our Pearland Film Festival movie, ENNUI, could get a subsidy... What is 15% of the two pizzas we paid our camera man and editor Julian?

As a lawyer who handles a good deal of construction work I could not agree more. I can tell how things are really going by the character of cases I have. We are seeing some recovery but the construction trades have not rebounded yet. Buffet is right.
