Key Issues
Personal Loans / Credit Card Debt Claims
Many residents fall victim to predatory personal loan and credit card companies. These companies attempt to impose excessively high interest rates as penalties. As your Judge, Lisa is committed to upholding fairness and making decisions in accordance with the law. She is eager to assist with resolving these claims in an objective manner for both parties.
Small Claims Disputes
Small claims can be made when there's a dispute between two or more parties over money, property, or services. A Justice of the Peace can provide relief in these disputes through small claims court for up to $20,000. As your judge, Lisa is committed to listening with patience while demonstrating compassion and ruling with impartiality.
Evictions
The Justice of the Peace addresses landlord-tenant disputes within its jurisdiction. The state of Texas offers programs that provide rent relief to help tenants avoid eviction. Additionally, legal assistance is available for those who qualify. Lisa is determined to make the availability of these resources known to all, and she is committed to upholding the law while mediating these situations in an unbiased fashion.
Juvenile - Truancy
Ensuring our children attend and stay in school is crucial to their education. We must take responsibility for student attendance and address disciplinary issues amongst our youth when necessary. This approach will help decrease the number of students who fall to the school-to-prison route. Lisa will prioritize working with the education department and county agencies to address at-risk youths. By keeping our children engaged and setting a positive example, we can inspire and create accessible pathways for their future success.
