Andrews, Texas FM 1788 Head-On Collision: When an Unsafe Pass on a Two-Lane Highway Changes Everything If you are reading this, you were probably on FM 1788 on a Friday afternoon. Or someone you love was. A southbound driver decided to pass another vehicle on a two-lane Farm-to-Market road in Andrews County, in the oil patch of West Texas. The pass was unsafe. A northbound vehicle was right there, in its own lane, doing what it was supposed to do. The impact was head-on. One driver did not survive. The other was loaded into an ambulance and driven roughly thirty-five miles south to Medical Center Hospital in Odessa — the regional Level II trauma center for the Permian Basin — where the word they heard was “minor injuries.” We need to talk about that word. “Minor.” We handle car accident cases across Texas, and the single most dangerous word in your case is the one the hospital used before the full picture developed. A head-on collision on a rural highway — where the speed limit is often 70 mph and two vehicles closing on each other can combine for a closing speed above 140 mph — does not produce “minor”…

Andrews County Fatal Shooting: Your Legal Rights After the Death of Matthew Cody Kintzel If you are reading this page at two in the morning, someone you love is gone and the silence around how they died is its own kind of wound. The Andrews County Sheriff’s Office responded to a residence in the 2000 block of Southeast 2700 on the evening of June 12, 2026, and found Matthew Cody Kintzel deceased inside a building on the property. The Texas Rangers took over the investigation. An autopsy was performed three days later at the Texas Panhandle Forensic Center in Lubbock — 120 miles of dark highway northeast of Andrews — and no findings have been released. No suspect has been named. No manner of death has been disclosed. The investigation, in the words of the Texas Department of Public Safety, remains ongoing. We cannot give you back what was taken. What this page can do is tell you the truth about your legal rights while that investigation runs — about the evidence that is already beginning to disappear on its own clock, about the civil remedies that exist in parallel with the criminal case, and about the decisions that must…

Fort Worth 157 MPH Wrongful Death on I-20: When Extreme Speed Becomes Gross Negligence Under Texas Law If you are reading this because someone you love was taken by a driver who treated a public interstate like a race track, we need to tell you three things before anything else. First: what happened was not an accident in any honest sense of that word — it was a choice, and the law knows the difference. Second: Texas gives families a path to hold that choice accountable, and in cases involving speeds this extreme, the law opens doors that ordinary crashes never reach. Third — and we will not pretend otherwise — there is a clock, and if the crash happened more than two years ago, that clock may have already run out. We will explain every one of these truths in full, because you deserve the real map, not a sales pitch. A nineteen-year-old was killed on Interstate 20 in Fort Worth when a driver traveling 157 miles per hour struck the SUV he was riding in from behind. He was coming home from a day at Six Flags with friends. The posted speed on that stretch of I-20 is…

Seven Dead in a Preventable Mass Shooting in Odessa, Texas: A Prohibited Buyer Exploited the Federal Background-Check Loophole to Obtain an Assault-Style Rifle From an Unlicensed Seller on an Online Firearms Classifieds Platform — Attorney911 Pursues Armslist, LLC and the Private Seller Under Negligent-Entrustment Doctrine and the PLCAA Exception, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice in a West Texas Venue Where Oilfield-Safety Culture Primes Jurors for Corporate Accountability, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Move to Preserve the Platform Ad Records, ATF Trace Data and Seller Communications Before Text Records and Platform Data Are Overwritten Within 90 to 180 Days, the Gun Control Act’s Private-Sale Gap and the Texas Wrongful-Death and Survival Statute With the 51% Comparative-Fault Bar, 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, Texas: When the Background Check Loophole Arms a Prohibited Buyer You are reading this at an hour when most people are asleep. Someone you love was taken from you on that West Texas corridor between Odessa and Midland — or you are the one who survived, and the sound of a rifle has not left your ears. The shooter is dead. The police came. The news trucks left. And now you are sitting with the question nobody in authority has answered: who put that weapon in his hands, and can the law reach them? The answer is yes. The shooter is not the only defendant. A person who sold an assault-style rifle to a stranger through an online classifieds site — without a single question, without a background check, without any vetting whatsoever — is not an innocent bystander. And the platform that connected them, a website built specifically to facilitate firearms transfers between anonymous strangers, may bear its own responsibility. The law of negligent entrustment, the exceptions built into the federal gun industry shield, and the developing doctrine of online platform liability all point at the same truth: when someone hands a dangerous instrumentality to a person the…

Odessa and Midland, Texas Mass Shooting: Legal Rights of Victims and Families If you are reading this page, someone you love was taken from you on August 31, 2019 — or they were among the twenty-two who survived with injuries they will carry for the rest of their lives. You may be the parent of a fifteen-year-old girl who had just celebrated her quinceañera three months before a bullet found her at a truck dealership. You may be the wife of a man who worked six days a week to support his family, shot through the window of his car while sitting at a traffic light with his wife and two children beside him. You may be the family of a man who moved from Las Vegas to Odessa because he believed it would be safer — only to be killed in the second mass shooting he was caught in.

Two Odessa Residents Dead After Ector County Crash — What Surviving Families Need to Know Two people from your community are gone. Not statistics on a highway-safety dashboard — a spouse, a parent, a child, a friend someone is never going to see walk through the door again. The crash happened on roads you know: the same stretches of US 385, State Highway 302, or Interstate 20 that you drive to work, to the store, to visit family in Odessa or across the Permian Basin. And now someone you love is never coming home from one of them. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death claims across Texas, and we are writing this page because the families of the two Odessa residents killed in this crash deserve to know, in plain language, what the law actually gives them, what the insurance company is already doing, and what is quietly disappearing while they grieve. Here is the first thing you need to hear: the law in Texas gives you a path to accountability and financial security. But two clocks started the moment that crash happened. One you can see — the two-year deadline to file…

Odessa Motorcycle Wrongful Death at Loop 338 & Arroyo Rd: What the Family Needs to Know If your family is reading this at 2 a.m. after losing a 33-year-old rider on NE Loop 338 in Odessa, here is the first thing you need to hear: the Odessa Police Department already investigated this crash, and they already determined what happened. The driver of a 2021 Ford F-150 failed to yield the right of way and turned left directly into the path of an oncoming Harley Davidson. Your loved one had the right of way. He was traveling north on the Loop, doing exactly what the law says he is allowed to do, when a southbound pickup cut across his lane to turn east onto Arroyo Rd. The police said it plainly: the F-150 “failed to yield right of way and turned left in front of the Harley Davidson.” That sentence is the foundation of your case. The second thing you need to hear is harder. The evidence that proves what really happened — the F-150’s black-box data, the driver’s cell-phone records, the skid marks on the pavement, the damage on the Harley, any dash-camera footage — is disappearing on a clock…

Two people died in a head-on collision in Ector County, and one of them was yours.

Ector County Rollover Crash Kills Odessa Teen — Your Legal Rights After a Single-Vehicle Pickup Accident If your family is reading this, you already know the worst part. A sixteen-year-old boy is gone — ejected from a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado that rolled over on West Murphy Street near Meteor Crater Road, on a Tuesday evening at five o’clock, in the oilfield country west of Odessa. Another sixteen-year-old — the driver — is at Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock, 140 miles from home, in serious condition. Texas DPS says neither boy was wearing a seatbelt. The investigation is ongoing, and the contributing factors are not yet clear. We are not going to pretend we know who your son was or what his life meant to the people who loved him. What we can tell you — plainly, honestly, and without legal jargon — is what the law actually says about a crash like this in Ector County, Texas. What your family’s rights are. What the insurance company is already doing. And why the most important evidence in this case is not a police report or a medical record — it is the truck itself, sitting in a tow yard or salvage…
