Midland, Texas Mass Shooting: Legal Rights of Victims and Families After One Death and Ten Injuries If you are reading this page, you or someone you love was inside that Midland shooting. One person did not come home. Ten more are hurt — some may still be in a hospital bed, some may be home with wounds that will mark them for the rest of their lives. You are sitting with the hardest thing a family can face, and you are probably doing it at an hour when nothing feels safe to decide. We understand that. Everything on this page is written to protect you before you have to make a single decision — the law, the evidence you need to save, the money that may exist to help your family, and the plays the insurance company is already running against you. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death and premises liability cases in Texas, and what happened in Midland is exactly the kind of case that turns on whether a commercial property owner’s security failures made this shooting possible. Ralph Manginello has spent 27+ years in Texas courtrooms, including federal court. Lupe Peña sat…

What Happened at North County Road 1140 and Highway 80 — and What It Means for Your Family You are reading this because someone you love went to work in Midland and did not come home. The headline says several people are dead after a shooting at or near the intersection of North County Road 1140 and Highway 80, and the reporting indicates that employees were among those killed. You may be standing in a hospital hallway, sitting at a kitchen table at 3 a.m., or staring at a phone that keeps ringing with people who say they are sorry. We are sorry too. And we are going to tell you the truth about what comes next — not to sell you anything, but because the decisions made in the first weeks after a workplace death are the decisions that determine whether a family gets answers or gets silence. Here is the first thing you need to hear: a criminal prosecution — if one happens — is not your case. The district attorney’s office prosecutes the shooter. That case is about punishment under the criminal law. It does not pay your family’s bills. It does not replace the income your…

Gaines County U.S. 385 Rollover Crash: What Happened and What Your Family Can Do If you are reading this because someone you love was in that Dodge Ram on U.S. 385 on July 2, 2026, we want you to hear something before anything else: your first priority is the child at University Medical Center in Lubbock and the people around you who are hurting. The legal work can happen in parallel, quietly, without adding to what you are already carrying. You do not have to understand any of this tonight. You just need to know that the clock on evidence has already started, and that there are people who can freeze it for you while you grieve. A 30-year-old woman from Ropesville lost her life on a stretch of U.S. Highway 385 near mile marker 260 in Gaines County, Texas. A 13-year-old girl was flown or driven roughly 80 to 90 miles north to the nearest Level I trauma center in Lubbock with serious injuries. Three other children — ages 11, 12, and 7 — were inside the same vehicle. The Texas Department of Public Safety is still investigating why the Dodge left its lane and collided with a Toyota…

Fatal Midland Crash: Court Documents, a Teen’s Death, and the Legal Rights of Five Families If you are reading this, someone you love was taken from you on a Midland roadway — or you are one of the four people who survived that crash and are hurting in ways you may not fully understand yet. Court documents have surfaced. The fact that they exist means the justice system is now engaged, law enforcement has pursued charges, and a prosecutor’s file is open. While that criminal case runs its course, a separate clock is ticking on your civil rights — the right to hold the at-fault party accountable in a way that actually provides for the people left behind and the survivors who will carry the physical and emotional cost for years. We are writing this for the parent who lost a teenager, for the spouse who got the worst phone call of their life, for the survivor sitting in a hospital bed trying to piece together what happened, and for the family member searching at 2 a.m. trying to understand what those court documents actually mean for them. What follows is what we would tell you if you were sitting…

Odessa Construction Fatality: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Subcontractor Death at the Odessa College Site Someone you love went to work at a construction site in Odessa on a Tuesday in June and did not come home. You are reading this at a hour when no one should have to be awake, trying to understand what happened and what you are supposed to do next. We are going to tell you everything we know about the legal landscape your family is now standing in — not to pressure you, but because the decisions made in the first days after a construction death are the ones that decide whether the truth comes out or disappears under the dust of a job site that is already being cleaned up. A subcontractor was killed on June 23 at the Odessa College construction project. Cerris Builders is the general contractor of record. Odessa College and Cerris Builders issued a joint statement. The site was secured. Work was suspended in the affected area. OSHA is investigating. No details about the mechanism of death, the identity of the deceased, or the subcontractor’s employer have been released. That is where the public record stops — and…

When Someone Is Arrested After a Fatal Crash in Ector County — Your Family Has Two Separate Cases to Understand If you are reading this because someone you love was killed in a crash in Ector County on September 8, 2023, and an Odessa man was arrested in connection with that collision, you are standing in a moment no one prepared you for. The phone calls have started. The funeral arrangements are pressing. The news is cycling through the story. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, an insurance adjuster may have already reached out — sounding sympathetic, sounding helpful, sounding like they are on your side. They are not. We need you to understand what is happening, what is about to happen, and what you still have the power to protect. The arrest changes things. It means law enforcement — the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Ector County Sheriff’s Office, or the Odessa Police Department — concluded that the at-fault driver’s conduct rose to the level of criminal responsibility. That arrest is not your case. Your case is separate. The criminal system will decide whether the driver goes to prison. The civil system — the one…

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…

The $49 Million Ector County Verdict — and What It Means for Your Family You are reading this at a kitchen table at 2 a.m. Or in a hospital hallway. Or in the quiet of a house where someone should be asleep in the next room and is not. A jury in Ector County, Texas, awarded $49 million to a family that lost a husband and father in a 2025 collision on the roads of the Permian Basin — and you found that headline because you are living inside a version of the same story. We are writing this page for you, not for the headline. The headline is the door. What matters is what we can teach you before you walk through the next one. Here is the first thing: a $49 million verdict from an Ector County jury is not a random number. It is twelve people from Odessa and the surrounding communities — people who drive I-20 past oilfield trucks every day, who understand what a loaded water hauler does to a passenger car, who know what it costs a family when the person who earned the paycheck and read the bedtime stories does not come home…
