Ector County Fatal Crash: Your Family’s Rights After a Death on a Permian Basin Road If you are reading this at a kitchen table in Odessa, or in a hospital hallway, or on your phone at 2 a.m. because someone you love is not coming home from a crash on one of these roads — we are talking to you.

Three Lives Lost in Midland: What the Law Allows Families to Do Next You are reading this because someone you love is gone — taken by gun violence in Midland, and the world has not yet caught up to what that means for your family. Three people died in this shooting. One has been publicly identified. The other two are still names waiting to be confirmed, families waiting to be notified, grief that has not yet found its full shape. We are not going to pretend we know exactly what happened, because the full story has not been released. What we know is this: when three people die by gunfire on or near property that someone owns, controls, and profits from, the law does not stop at the criminal investigation. There is a second system of accountability — civil — and it asks a different question: not just who pulled the trigger, but whether the property where this happened had ignored warning signs that this violence was coming, and whether reasonable security measures would have stopped it. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims in Texas, and we are writing…

Andrews, TX: When a Child Behind the Wheel and a Failed Spare Tire Take Nine Lives You are reading this because someone you love did not come home from a golf tournament. A van carrying a coach and eight young athletes back to Hobbs, New Mexico, met a pickup truck on FM 1788 near Andrews, Texas, and nine people are gone. The National Transportation Safety Board has confirmed two facts that make this crash different from any other you have read about: the pickup was driven by a 13-year-old — a child who, under Texas law, cannot hold any license at all — and the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare, blew out before impact. Both vehicles caught fire. Everyone in that van, and the child driving the truck, died. We are not going to pretend we can give you back what was taken. What we can do is tell you, plainly and completely, what the law allows families to do when nine people are killed because a child was put behind the wheel of a 3/4-ton pickup on a rural West Texas highway with a spare tire on the front axle. We can tell you who can…

When Your Family Member Dies in the Ector County Jail, the Answers Are Not Going to Come to You You received a phone call that no family should ever get. A 55-year-old man was found dead in his cell at the Ector County Law Enforcement Center in Odessa, Texas, on a Friday afternoon in October 2022. Maybe you were told he was discovered at 5:40 p.m. Maybe you were not told anything else — not what happened in the hours before, not whether anyone checked on him, not whether he asked for help that never came. Maybe the next of kin could not even be located at first, and days passed before anyone in your family even knew he was gone. We are going to tell you what we tell every family that calls us in this moment: the jail is not going to explain itself. The Sheriff’s Office will release a brief statement. The Texas Rangers will open an investigation that may take six months or more. And the evidence — the video, the cell-check logs, the intake medical screening — is already on a clock, erasing itself in some cases within weeks. The answers you are owed are…

Odessa Hit-and-Run Semi-Truck on I-20 at East Loop 338: What to Do When the Truck That Hit You Disappeared You were driving on I-20 through Odessa, and a semi-truck hit you — and then it was gone. The Odessa Police Department is searching for it. You are sitting in a hospital room, or standing on the shoulder of an interstate staring at a wrecked vehicle, or lying awake at 2 a.m. wondering what happens now that the truck that caused this has vanished into the Permian Basin freight traffic. This is the moment everything gets harder — and the moment it gets most important to understand what the law can do for you, even when the at-fault driver has not been found. We are Attorney911, and we handle commercial truck accident cases across Texas. This page is not a news summary. It is the full legal and practical roadmap for someone in your position: hit by a semi-truck on I-20 in Odessa, the truck fled the scene, and the police are still looking.

Hit-and-Run Arrest at I-20 & East Loop 338 in Odessa, Ector County, TX — Attorney911 Brings Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice to Hit-and-Run Cases Where Fleeing the Scene Leaves Victims Without Medical Aid on a 75-MPH Oilfield Corridor, We Preserve the Interchange Surveillance Footage Before the 30-Day Overwrite and Pull the Crash Report, Arrest Affidavit and Black-Box Data, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values Hit-and-Run Cases, Texas Stop-and-Render-Aid Law and Punitive Damages for Conscious Indifference, the Firm Has Recovered $50M+ for Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Odessa Hit-and-Run at I-20 and Loop 338: What the Arrest Means and What You Need to Do Right Now You are reading this because someone you love was struck on the I-20 corridor near East Loop 338 in Odessa, and the driver who did it fled the scene. The news says a man was arrested. Maybe you saw the arrest on the local broadcast. Maybe you were the one lying on the pavement when the headlights disappeared into the dark. Either way, you are sitting with a phone full of medical bills, a body that hurts in ways you cannot fully explain yet, and a question that nobody has answered honestly: what does the arrest actually mean for you? Here is the first thing you need to hear, and it is good news. The arrest transforms your case. When a hit-and-run driver is never caught, the victim is often limited to their own uninsured-motorist coverage and whatever the criminal investigation never uncovers. An identified, arrested defendant means a direct civil claim against a real person with a real insurance policy, a real vehicle, and a real name on the lawsuit. That is a fundamentally different case — and a fundamentally…

Ector County Plane Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Fatal Aviation Accident in Odessa, Texas Two people died in a plane crash in Ector County, and if one of them was someone you loved, you are standing in a moment that feels impossible — the news is still fresh, the phone keeps ringing, and the world has not caught up to what your family has actually lost. The first thing we want you to hear is this: the cause of this crash has not been determined. The news does not know what happened. The first people on the scene do not know what happened. And the one federal agency that will investigate — the National Transportation Safety Board — is legally forbidden from assigning blame for your civil case. Your family’s case is not what the headline says it is. It is what the evidence proves, and the evidence is still being collected right now. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm.

Midland County SH 158 Fatal Crash: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Death on the Permian Basin’s Oilfield Corridor If you are reading this page, someone you love is gone. A man from Odessa lost his life on State Highway 158 in Midland County on a Monday in June 2025, and the highway shut down because the crash was that severe. You may be his spouse, his child, his parent, or the person who has to make the decisions now. You are probably sitting at a kitchen table in Odessa or Midland or somewhere along that corridor at an hour when nobody should be awake, trying to understand what happens next — what the law allows you to do, what the insurance company is already doing, and how fast the proof of what really happened is disappearing from the road, from the vehicles, and from the records nobody has thought to preserve yet. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle wrongful death claims and car accident cases across Texas, and we built this page for one reason: so that the family of someone killed on SH 158 can understand, in plain language, exactly what their rights are…

Two Dead, One Seriously Injured in a South Midland Two-Vehicle Collision — What Your Family Needs to Know Right Now If you are reading this at two in the morning, you are probably sitting at a table where a chair is already empty. Someone you love was killed on a south Midland road, or someone you love is lying in a hospital bed with injuries that have not finished declaring themselves. Maybe both. Two families in this community are grieving tonight, and a third is facing a recovery that has barely begun. You are in shock. You are exhausted. And somewhere in the last forty-eight hours, a voice on the phone — friendly, concerned, telling you they just want to help — has already started building a case against you. That voice works for the insurance company. It is not your friend. And the clock that decides whether your family can hold the person who did this accountable is already running. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are car accident lawyers who take catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases in Texas, and we are writing this for one person: you, in this moment, trying to understand…
