When the Verdict Comes Back Guilty and the Fight Is Still Beginning The conviction felt like the end of something. It was not. If you are the parent of a Texas teenager whose child was taken from you by an intentional act — and the person responsible has been convicted and sentenced — you have probably heard a hundred well-meaning voices tell you that justice was done. Maybe you believe them. Maybe you are too tired to decide what you believe. Either way, what we want you to know, in the clearest possible terms, is this: a criminal conviction is one track of accountability. It is not the only one. The civil justice system in Texas is a separate, parallel process with its own causes of action, its own deadlines, its own remedies, and its own capacity to reach assets the criminal court could not touch. Some of those deadlines — including one that may have already run on your case — cannot be paused while you grieve. This page is written for the family that just watched a murderer convicted and walked out of a Collin County courtroom with a 35-year sentence wondering what comes next. It is also…

What the Verdict Did Not Give You — and What the Civil Court Can You watched the jury come back. You sat in that Collin County courtroom and heard the word "guilty." You watched the judge hand down thirty-five years. And then, within days, the man convicted of taking your seventeen-year-old son filed paperwork in the same courthouse declaring himself a "penniless, destitute, and indigent person, too poor to employ counsel." You read the public records showing that a fundraising campaign in his name collected $633,908 between April 15, 2025 and his conviction — and that a Texas limited liability company called Angelic Obsessions LLC was activated in his parents' names on April 26, 2025, twenty-four days after your son was killed. You have been told by people around you that he is "judgment-proof," that the case is over, that there is nothing left to do. We are The Manginello Law Firm — Attorney911 — and we are here to tell you, in plain words, why none of that is the end of the story. The criminal verdict delivered accountability for the act. It did not deliver — and could not deliver — a civil judgment for the loss your…

The Moment You Are In, and Why the Criminal Verdict Is Not the End of It Your son was seventeen. He was at a high school track meet. He did not come home. Fourteen months later, a Collin County jury returned a murder verdict, and a judge imposed a thirty-five-year sentence. That is real justice — and you are right to feel the weight of it. But the criminal courtroom and the civil courtroom are two different institutions with two different jobs. The criminal case answered one question: did this person kill your son, and what punishment fits? The civil case answers a different set of questions: who else bears responsibility, what assets exist to be reached, and what damages does Texas law permit a jury to award for the loss of a seventeen-year-old's life. The conviction that just came down does not close those questions. It opens some of them — because in Texas, a criminal conviction can be used against the defendant in a civil case to prove liability, conclusively, without relitigating the worst day of your life. We are writing this page for you, and for the small circle of people around you. We are Ralph Manginello…
