Midland Workplace Shooting at JAT Partner Logistics: Three Workers Killed — Legal Rights for Families in the Permian Basin If you are reading this at 2 a.m. on a phone propped against a coffee maker in Midland or Odessa, with a sheriff’s business card on the counter and a family member who did not come home from JAT Partner Logistics on June 22, 2026 — we are talking to you. Not to the internet. To you. The sheriff’s office has said there is no ongoing threat to the public. That is the sentence the news led with. Your sentence is different. Your sentence is the one where someone you love walked into a logistics warehouse off Highway 80 for a Monday meeting and never walked out, because a person arrived at that building with a gun and the apparent intent to set it on fire, and three employees are dead. The sheriff’s investigation is active. Your investigation — the one that determines whether anyone answers for this in civil court, and whether your family can survive the financial crater a death leaves behind — has a clock on it that has already started ticking. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas. We are not counsel on this incident, and we have not been retained by any family involved. What follows is the legal education we would give you if you sat across from us tomorrow morning and asked…

Jessica Rodriguez and Her Two Children Killed in an Odessa Apartment Shooting by an Armed Minor — Wrongful Death & Negligent-Security Attorneys: Attorney911 Pursues the Adults Who Failed to Secure the Firearm, the Guardians Who Failed to Supervise, and the Property Owner and Management Company Behind Inadequate Access Controls, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, We Preserve the Surveillance Footage and Access-Control Logs Before the 30-Day Overwrite, the Suspect’s Digital Communications and School Records of Prior Threats Before They Are Purged, Texas Wrongful-Death and Survival Actions With the Firearm-Accessibility Standard as Negligence Per Se, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Odessa, Ector County, Texas: When a Minor Accesses a Firearm and Three Lives End If you are reading this page, someone you love is gone — or someone you love is the one who survived and is now carrying a weight no teenager should ever have to carry. You may be sitting at a kitchen table in Odessa at two in the morning, trying to understand how a fifteen-year-old boy walked into an apartment on a Tuesday evening and left a mother and two children dead. You may be the surviving fifteen-year-old’s aunt, uncle, grandparent, family friend — the person now trying to hold together what is left. You may be a parent in Ector County who read what happened and is now terrified it could happen to your family. We are going to tell you everything we know about what the law does when a minor accesses a firearm and kills. Not the criminal case — the police and the Ector County District Attorney are handling that. The civil case. The one that asks a different question: which adults and which institutions failed this family, and what does the law allow the surviving family to do about it? That question matters because a fifteen-year-old shooter has no assets, no insurance, no ability to compensate three deaths. But the adults who owned or failed to secure the firearm, the adults who failed to supervise and monitor a child who was exhibiting dangerous behavior, and the apartment complex that may have…

Christmas Night Stop-Sign Fatality on the IH-20 Service Road in Ector County — 76-Year-Old William Jackson Trantham of Odessa Killed When a Driver Runs the Stop Sign at Moss Avenue — Attorney911 Midland Wrongful-Death Attorneys Pursue the At-Fault Driver, Vehicle Owner and Every UM/UIM Policy, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, We Pull the EDR Black-Box Data From Both 2025 Vehicles Before the Overwrite, Texas Negligence Per Se for the Stop-Sign Violation, No Cap on Non-Economic Damages in Auto-Negligence Cases — Millions Recovered in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Odessa Wrongful Death After a Stop Sign Crash — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this page, someone in your family was killed in a crash that did not have to happen. A driver blew through a stop sign on a dark Christmas night in Ector County, and a 76-year-old man who was wearing his seatbelt and doing nothing wrong is gone. You are sitting at a kitchen table or standing in a driveway, and the phone is about to start ringing — or it already has. The insurance adjuster on the other end sounds sympathetic. That sympathy is a tool, and it is aimed at you. We are Attorney911. We are trial lawyers who handle wrongful death cases across Texas, and we wrote this page for one reason: to give you, in plain language, everything the insurance company does not want you to know in the first days after a fatal crash. What the law actually allows your family to recover. How fast the evidence is disappearing right now, while you grieve. What the adjuster’s first three moves are, and the counter to each one. How a case like this is built, step by step, from the first preservation letter to the last deposition. And what it costs to have us do all of it — which is nothing, unless we win. This page is legal information, not legal advice. Every case turns on its own facts. But the framework below is the…

Midland Mass Shooting on Business 20: Your Legal Rights as a Victim or Family Member If you are reading this page, you or someone you love was on or near Business 20 in Midland when the shooting happened. You may be sitting in a hospital room right now, or standing in a kitchen trying to explain to children why their parent is not coming home the same person who left that morning. You may be one of the nearly a dozen people who walked away with a bullet wound and are now being told, by an insurance adjuster who sounds very friendly, that you should “just get better first and call us later.” That call is not a courtesy. It is a clock. And the evidence that would prove what actually happened — who failed to protect you, what the property owner knew about the danger on that corridor, whether the security measures that should have been in place were in place — is disappearing right now, in some cases within days. We are going to tell you everything we know about how a case like this is built under Texas law, what your rights actually are, and what is happening on the other side of the table while you are trying to heal. None of this is legal advice for your specific case — it is legal information from a Texas trial firm that has spent over 27 years in courtrooms, and the call to talk about your situation…

Section 1983 Civil Rights Lawsuit for 14th Amendment Due Process Violation in Midland County: When a Prosecutor Secretly Served as the Judge’s Law Clerk in the Same Trial — Attorney911 Holds Counties and Policymakers Accountable for Sanctioning Dual-Role Prosecutors Across 300+ Tainted Cases, We Pull the Dual-Employment Records, Ex Parte Communications and Draft Court Orders Before Texas Records Retention Schedules Erase Them, Texas’s Highest Criminal Court Already Condemned This Exact Conflict, Erma Wilson Lost Her Nursing Career and Lived 20 Years Under a Constitutionally Tainted Felony Conviction, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Catastrophic Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Midland County, Texas: When the Prosecutor Was Also the Judge’s Clerk — A Structural Constitutional Violation That Infected 300+ Cases If you were convicted of a crime in Midland County between the early 2000s and 2019, the person who prosecuted you may have also been secretly working for the judge who sentenced you. That is not a suspicion. It is a documented fact. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals — the highest criminal court in this state — has already said so, in a ruling that overturned a capital murder conviction and sent a man off death row because of it. The federal lawsuit filed in the Western District of Texas asks a question that affects every defendant who passed through that courthouse during those years: what happens when the constitutional right to a fair trial was violated by a structure the county itself built, approved, and concealed? We are writing this for one person: someone who was convicted in Midland County, who has lived with the consequences of that conviction — the lost career, the felony record, the doors that closed, the years that cannot come back — and who is only now learning that the proceeding was constitutionally poisoned. The corruption was not advertised. It was hidden for nearly twenty years. You could not have known. The law recognizes that, and this page explains what comes next. This is legal information, not legal advice. Contacting us is free and confidential. Past results depend on the facts of each…

When a Motorcyclist Is Killed and a Teen Driver Is Arrested on Fairgrounds Road — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. An Odessa motorcyclist — a rider, a person with a life and a family and a routine that included that road — was killed in a crash on Fairgrounds Road in Midland County. A teenage driver was arrested. And now you are sitting with a grief so sudden it has not yet found its shape, while a world you did not ask to enter is already moving around you — police reports being written, insurance files being opened, vehicles sitting in tow yards, and a clock you cannot see already running.

We are trial lawyers who take wrongful death cases in Texas, and we are writing this page for one person: you, the family member who just lost a rider and is trying to understand what happens next.

Fairfield Motorcycle Fatal Crash: When a Left Turn Into a Circle K Driveway Turns Deadly If you found this page, someone you love is gone. Maybe it was Robert McPherson — a husband, a father, a friend, a man who rode westbound on West Texas Street on the evening of February 5, 2025, and never came home.

A 13-Day-Old Baby and a Teenager Are Gone After a Crash on SH 158 in Ector County — What Your Family Needs to Know and What You Must Protect Right Now If you are reading this, you may be sitting in a kitchen in Odessa or Midland, or driving home from a hospital that could not save your child. A thirteen-day-old baby — a life that had barely begun — and a teenager with years ahead are gone after a crash on State Highway 158. We are not going to pretend that words on a screen can fix what happened. They cannot. What we can do is tell you, clearly and honestly, what the law gives your family, what evidence is disappearing right now, and what decisions you have the power to make in the days ahead — decisions that will determine whether anyone is held accountable for what was taken from you. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death cases and catastrophic injury claims across Texas, including the Permian Basin.

H2S Death at an Oilfield Waste Facility Near Orla, Texas — What the Family of a Worker Killed by Hydrogen Sulfide Needs to Know If someone you love was killed at an oilfield facility in the Permian Basin, you are reading this at a kitchen table or in a truck cab, trying to understand how a person goes to work and does not come home. We are going to tell you exactly what happened at the Channing waste treatment facility near Orla, Texas, in September 2022 — what the federal government found, what it means in plain language, and what your family’s rights are under Texas law. This is not a sales pitch. This is the information we would want if we were sitting where you are sitting. A worker at Production Waste Solutions’ Channing oil and gas waste treatment and disposal facility near Orla was skimming and suctioning sludge water and oil byproducts from a sump pit when he was overcome by hydrogen sulfide gas and died. The federal government investigated and cited the company for six safety violations. The total fine was $39,064. That number — less than the price of a used pickup truck — is what the government assessed for a human life. It is not compensation to your family. It is a regulatory penalty, and your rights are entirely separate from it. What Happened at the Channing Facility Near Orla Orla, Texas sits in Reeves County, in the Delaware Basin sub-region of the Permian Basin…

When a Driver Strikes a First Responder at an Emergency Scene in Lubbock, Texas If you are reading this because you or someone you love was struck by a vehicle while working an emergency scene — or because you are a first responder in Lubbock who wants to understand what your rights actually are before the worst happens — you are in the right place. We are going to tell you everything we know about how these cases work in Texas, from the statute that makes striking a parked emergency vehicle a violation of law, to the medical reality of a traumatic brain injury that does not show up on a standard CT scan, to the insurance math that determines whether a catastrophic injury is fully compensated or quietly underpaid. On January 11, 2020, a Lubbock Fire Rescue firefighter was struck by a vehicle while working the scene of a car accident in icy conditions on a Lubbock roadway. The same incident killed Lieutenant Eric Hill of Lubbock Fire Rescue and Police Officer Nicholas Reyna of the Lubbock Police Department. The firefighter who survived suffered a traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures throughout his body, requiring extensive surgical intervention and prolonged rehabilitation at a Colorado facility. In August 2021, his community honored his sacrifice with a mortgage-free home through West Texas Hero Homes and community partners. That home was earned. The legal accountability for what happened on that icy road is a separate matter — and it is the one…
