They Did Not Give Up

A good list of folks who failed horribly and kept trying. Ford, Freud, Edison, Einstein, Fred Smith etc. Seems like a good lesson for us lawyers.
Never give up up, Never give in.

Pearland Transportation/Traffic Open House

One of the top complaints I hear about life in Pearland is transportation. The city has grown incredibly fast in a short period of time and the infrastructure is still catching up. The city is holding a meeting next month to address some of these concerns and tell you what is being done. I hope to see you there.

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.
