Terms of Use

Is the information on this website legal advice?

No. The pages, articles and answers on fritz-law.com explain Texas family law and estate planning in broad terms and describe how Fritz Law Firm, PLLC works. They are not legal advice for your situation, because the right answer depends on your facts, your documents and any orders already in place. The Disclaimer explains this in more detail and is part of these terms.

When does someone become a client of the firm?

Reading this site, typing a note into the contact form, emailing the office or leaving a phone message does not make you a client of Fritz Law Firm, PLLC. That happens only once the firm agrees to take your matter and you and the firm both sign a written engagement agreement. Until that signed agreement exists, keep confidential details about your case out of any message.

Which state's law does this website address?

This website addresses Texas law only. Jessica Fritz, the attorney at Fritz Law Firm, PLLC, is licensed in Texas. Nothing on the site is meant to offer legal services in any other state.

Is the information always current?

Fritz Law Firm, PLLC works to keep the website accurate, but Texas statutes, court rules and dollar figures change, and a page may not reflect the newest version on the day you read it. Pages that state the law show a last-reviewed date. Check the official source, such as the Texas Family Code on the Texas Constitution and Statutes website, or talk with an attorney before acting.

Who owns the content on this website?

The text, page design and photographs on fritz-law.com belong to Fritz Law Firm, PLLC or Jessica Fritz, or are used under a license, unless a page says otherwise. You may read, print and share links to pages for personal, noncommercial use. You may not copy, republish or reuse the site's text or photos on another website, or present them as your own, without written permission from the firm.

• copy the site in bulk with automated tools, or interfere with how it runs; or
• use the site for anything unlawful.

What about links to other websites?

Some pages link to outside websites, such as the Texas statutes site, county court pages or the State Bar of Texas, because they are useful sources. Fritz Law Firm, PLLC does not control those websites and is not responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.

Does the firm make any promises about the website itself?

No. Fritz Law Firm, PLLC offers fritz-law.com as it stands and as available, as a general source of information. Nothing on the site is legal advice for a particular person or problem, and using the site does not make anyone a client of the firm.

To the extent Texas law allows, Fritz Law Firm, PLLC is not responsible for any loss, whether direct or indirect, that results from using this website, from being unable to use it, or from relying on the general information it contains.
