I bought a car and had it picked up by a friend who took the title and put it in their name. Now, I'm out of money and out of a car. The police believe the friend because they have the title. What should I do to recover my money and prove my right to the car?

Are hotels required by law to check ID before giving you your room key or car keys from valet, and are they required to have a working heater? If not, what can consumers do if they encounter issues like freezing rooms or unauthorized access to their belongings?

I am being sued for showing a fight at my bar without paying Direct TV's license fee. The case is under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C 553 and 605 in Texas. The lawsuit was filed 7 days before 3 years had passed since the alleged violation. I need to know if Texas has established a statute of limitations specific to this case, and if not, what federal statute of limitations applies.

I make my child support payments on time, but my ex-wife demands 6 months of payment in advance and threatens to withhold visitation rights if I don't comply. I'm struggling financially due to unemployment and finding large lump sums in a short time is difficult. Is there anything I can do to improve the situation? Can she withhold visitation if I don't comply?
