FM 2138 Took Sharicia Hinson’s Life — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this because someone you love was killed or hurt on FM 2138 near County Road 3141 in Cherokee County on a Friday night, we want you to hear something first, before anything else: the person who died was not at fault for another driver’s decision to swing a U-turn into her lane on a dark East Texas farm-to-market road. The preliminary investigation by the Texas Department of Public Safety says that Vehicle 2 was traveling southbound, executed a U-turn, and began traveling northbound — directly into the path of the car that Sharicia Hinson of Rusk was driving. Vehicle 1 struck the rear of Vehicle 2. Vehicle 2 spun and stopped in the roadway. Vehicle 1 — the car carrying a 32-year-old woman home — left the road and hit a tree in a ditch. She was pronounced dead at the scene. You are probably sitting in a kitchen in Rusk, or Jacksonville, or somewhere in the piney woods of Cherokee County, trying to understand how a Friday evening turned into this. The DPS report is not finished yet. The other…

When a Reckless Driver Kills a FedEx Driver in East Texas: Your Family’s Rights After a Manslaughter Indictment You are reading this because someone you love is not coming home. They left for work — a route they had driven hundreds of times, on roads they knew like the back of their hand — and someone else’s recklessness made sure they never came back. Now you have heard that the other driver has been indicted for manslaughter, and you are trying to understand what that word means for your family. Not in legal textbooks. In your life. In the kitchen where their chair is empty. In the paycheck that stopped. In the future that disappeared in the time it takes for two vehicles to collide on an East Texas highway. We are going to tell you exactly what a manslaughter indictment means for a civil wrongful death case in Texas, what money may be available to your family and where it hides, what evidence is already disappearing more than a year after the crash, and what the at-fault driver’s insurance company is already doing to minimize what they pay you.

When the Preliminary Report Blames Your Loved One — and the Truth Is Still Buried in the Truck’s Black Box If you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone you love was killed on Interstate 20 in Gregg County, and a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper wrote in a preliminary report that the crash was your loved one’s fault — stop. Take a breath. That report is the beginning of the investigation, not the end of it. It was written in the dark, at a scene lit by emergency flashers, before the truck’s electronic data was downloaded, before the driver’s hours-of-service logs were examined, before the trailer’s taillights and reflective tape were tested, and before anyone measured whether that tractor-trailer was moving at highway speed or sitting stopped in a travel lane. We have spent 27+ years in courtrooms — including federal court — proving that preliminary reports are wrong, and that the real story lives in records the trucking company controls and can legally erase. The crash happened at 1:13 a.m. on a Friday. A 39-year-old man from Longview was driving west on I-20 near mile marker 583, close to Old Highway 135, when his Chevrolet Camaro…

FedEx Driver Killed on Highway 64 Near Chapel Hill: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Wrongful Death If you are reading this because someone you love was killed on Highway 64 near Chapel Hill — a FedEx driver who was doing his job, stepping out of his truck on a summer afternoon when a vehicle came across the center line and hit him — we want you to know something first. The criminal justice system has already started answering for what happened. A Smith County grand jury indicted the at-fault driver for manslaughter. That matters for your family more than you may realize right now, because the same facts that convinced a grand jury to charge a crime are the facts that build a civil wrongful death case. The two cases run on separate tracks, but they share the same evidence, the same roadway, the same conduct — and the civil track is the one that provides for the family left behind. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle wrongful death and commercial-vehicle cases across Texas, and we built this page for the family, the coworker, the parent or spouse who is sitting at a kitchen…

A FedEx Driver Was Killed on Highway 64 in Smith County — What Happened and What It Means for the Family If you are reading this because someone you love was killed while doing their job — stepping out of a delivery truck on a Texas highway, just trying to get a package to someone’s door — then you are in the worst hours of your life, and you are also in the hours that matter most for the case that will follow. We are writing this for you. Not for a general audience.

Smith County FedEx Driver Wrongful Death on Highway 64: What the Family Needs to Know If you are reading this because someone you love was killed while working as a delivery driver on a Texas highway, you already know that the hardest part is not the crash. It is everything that came after. The phone calls from the employer’s insurance people. The forms that arrived before the funeral. The criminal case moving on its own schedule while someone mentions a deadline you have never heard of. You are standing in the worst moment of your life, and the system is already in motion around you — a system designed to close your case fast and cheap, not to tell you what it is actually worth. Here is the first thing we want you to know: what happened on Highway 64 in Smith County on July 8, 2025, was not an accident. A driver made a conscious decision to pass in a designated no-passing zone on a two-lane rural highway, crossed into the oncoming lane, and struck a 26-year-old FedEx driver who was outside her delivery vehicle doing her job. That decision killed her. And the law in Texas gives her…

What a Manslaughter Indictment Means for the Family of a FedEx Driver Killed on Highway 64 If you are reading this because someone you love was killed while working on a rural East Texas highway — a husband, a father, a son who put on a uniform every morning and drove a route that kept other people’s packages moving — you are in a moment that no one prepared you for. The criminal justice system has now done something: a Smith County grand jury has indicted the driver who caused this death. That matters. But a grand jury indictment is not compensation, it is not closure, and it is not the full measure of accountability that Texas law allows your family to pursue. The criminal case and the civil wrongful death case are two separate things, running on two separate clocks, answering to two separate systems. We are the firm that handles the second one — the one that actually pays your family for what was taken. Here is the first thing you need to hear, and we will say it plainly: the man who was killed did nothing wrong. He was doing his job. He was exiting his vehicle…

Guadalupe County Deputy-Involved Shooting on Hurst Lane in Seguin: Your Family’s Legal Rights After Law Enforcement Uses Deadly Force in Texas You are reading this at a hour when nobody should have to read anything. Someone you love is gone — shot by the people who are supposed to protect and serve — and you are trying to understand what happens now. We are going to tell you the truth, all of it, because that is what you deserve and it is what you are not getting from the press conference or the press release or the silence between phone calls where nobody calls you back. Here is what we know happened on August 13, 2026, at approximately 2:45 in the morning, in the 400 block of Hurst Lane in Seguin. A 911 caller said a man was “going to kill her.” Deputies from the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office arrived within seven minutes. They heard screaming inside. They went in. They say they saw a man holding a knife to a woman’s neck. They say they told him to drop it. They say he did not. Multiple deputies fired their weapons. The man died. The Texas Rangers are now investigating.…

Military Helicopter Crash Near Salado, Texas — Legal Rights and Recovery Options If you are reading this page, a military helicopter went down near Salado, Texas, and someone you love may have been on that aircraft — or on the ground beneath it. You may be sitting in a hospital waiting room in Temple or Austin, or standing in a kitchen in Bell County at 2 a.m. with a phone that stopped ringing hours ago. You may be a civilian whose home, vehicle, or land was struck. You may be a service member’s spouse who just received a visit from a uniformed casualty notification team. Whoever you are, you are in the worst hours of your life, and the system that surrounds you is already moving — military investigators securing the wreckage, FAA controllers archiving radar data that will overwrite within weeks, and a federal claims process that has a clock most people never hear about until it is too late. We are going to tell you everything we know about what happens next, what your rights actually are, and what the government is already doing on the other side of this. Not a sales pitch. Not a brochure. The…
