I was a tenant in a house in Texas for 14 months with no issues until a burst water pipe during a snowstorm caused significant damage. The landlord accused me of negligence for not keeping the heating on, despite my following his instructions to manage the water during freezing temperatures. The landlord received $56,000 from his insurance but claims the total repair cost is $81,000, demanding an additional $26,000 from me, including my $2,000 security deposit. I paid full rent for the 2.5 months I couldn't access the property due to the damage. What are my legal options and should I respond to the landlord's attorney's letter denying liability and requesting a refund for the rent and deposit?

I lost my car at the end of January. My insurance deemed it a total loss and paid off the majority of the car. I've been dealing with my auto lienholder, Bridgecrest, and Ally Gap Insurance to get them to pay off the rest of the car. Ally Gap Insurance finally sent the last check around May 11th, but Bridgecrest has yet to close my account due to their mistakes. Today, everything was supposed to be finalized, but they have pushed back my finalization date to the 16th. Do I have a case, and what steps should I take next?
