Fatal Police Pursuit Crash in Midland, Texas: The June 1 High-Speed Chase Through Permian Basin Corridors That Killed James Baker and Anderson Aguilar — Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Pursuit-Crash Wrongful-Death Cases, We Pursue the At-Fault Fleeing Driver and the Law Enforcement Agency Behind the Pursuit, Texas Wrongful-Death Act and Tort Claims Act Liability, We Preserve the Dashcam, Bodycam and Radio Dispatch Recordings Before the 30-to-90-Day Overwrite Erases Them, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Wrongful-Death Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Midland Police Pursuit Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Fleeing Driver and a Police Pursuit Turned Fatal If you are reading this because someone you love was killed in the June 1, 2026 pursuit crash in Midland — whether you are family to James Baker, family to Anderson Aguilar, or someone close to them trying to understand what happens next — we want you to hear the most important thing first, before anything else: the police video that shows what happened during that pursuit is on a clock. Dashcam footage, body-worn camera recordings, and radio dispatch traffic are the single most decisive evidence in any pursuit case, and the agency that holds them is also, potentially, a defendant. Standard retention cycles overwrite that footage in 30 to 90 days. The documentary examining this crash may surface information the families have not yet seen — but acting on evidence preservation cannot wait for a broadcast. The police recordings that could determine whether the pursuit was justified will be destroyed by routine policy if no one demands they be saved. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful-death and catastrophic-injury cases in Texas, including pursuit crashes where…

When a Passenger Is Ejected in a Midland Rollover — Your Rights Under Texas Wrongful Death Law If you found this page because someone you love was killed in a rollover crash on Loop 250 or anywhere in Midland County, the first thing we need you to hear is simple and absolute: the seatbelt does not erase the driver’s fault. A back-seat passenger cannot prevent a driver from veering into a median at highway speed. The decision to speed, the loss of control, the rollover — those were the driver’s choices. Texas law does not bar recovery for an unbelted passenger. It may reduce the percentage of damages a jury assigns, but the driver’s negligence remains the primary cause, and the family’s right to hold that driver accountable does not disappear because a 21-year-old did not click a buckle. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death and catastrophic injury cases across Texas, including the Permian Basin and the Midland County courts. This page is not about a case we have filed. It is a resource — the education, the governing law, the evidence clocks, and the honest evaluation of what a case like this…

When the Handcuffs Close on the Innocent: The Midland Christian Five and Your Federal Rights You are reading this at an hour when no one should have to be awake. Maybe it has been weeks since the charges were dropped and the relief you expected never came — the job didn’t call you back, the community that once trusted you still whispers, and the mugshot is still one Google search away from your name. Maybe it just happened — you sat in a holding cell while a country that promises liberty processed you like a number, and you are trying to understand what rights you actually have left. Or maybe you are the spouse, the parent, the adult child of someone who was arrested for doing nothing wrong, and you watched the person you love come home smaller than they left. We are going to tell you exactly what the law says, what the case is worth, what the other side is already doing to protect itself, and what evidence is dying while you read this. That is the only honest way to help someone in your position. You have already been failed by a system that was supposed to…

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…

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…

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.

Fatal Midland County Motorcycle Crash: Wrong-Way Driver Without Headlights Kills Odessa Man If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on Fairgrounds Road on the night of May 29, we want you to hear this first: the reported facts say he was doing everything right. He was in his lane. He was wearing a helmet. He was riding a motorcycle he had chosen, on a road he knew, in the direction he was supposed to be going. And a car came across the center line in the dark with its lights off and took his life. That is not an accident. That is a chain of choices someone else made, and Texas law gives the family the right to hold every person and every policy that contributed to those choices accountable. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle motorcycle accident cases and wrongful death claims across Texas. This page is not a sales pitch.
