A Two-Year-Old Girl Died on Andrews Highway. Here Is What the Law Says, and What Has to Happen Now. On July 10, 2026, a crash at the intersection of Andrews Highway and 100th Street in north Odessa left a two-year-old girl with injuries so serious she was flown by helicopter to UMC Children’s Hospital in Lubbock — roughly two hours north by ground, a distance that tells you the local hospitals could not treat what happened to her. Three days later, on July 13, she died. Her family made the decision to donate her organs. The Odessa Police Department investigation is ongoing, and authorities have not yet released details about what caused the crash or which vehicle she was in. A 68-year-old person also involved was treated at Medical Center Hospital in Odessa with injuries that were not life-threatening. The community has spoken publicly about that intersection — a multi-lane highway controlled by nothing more than a stop sign despite the residential developments that have multiplied around it and the crashes that have accumulated there for years. We are writing this for one person: someone in Odessa, or Midland, or anywhere in Ector County, who lost a child or a…

One Dead, Four Critically Injured in a Midland Morning — and the Clock That Already Started If you are reading this from a hospital hallway in Midland, or from a kitchen table that has a name missing from it, we want you to hear this first: what happened to your family is not a statistic. It is one human being gone and four fighting to survive, and each of those five lives carries its own story, its own loss, and its own legal rights that have a deadline already running. We are writing to you — not to the public, not to a search engine — because the hours after a mass-casualty crash in the Permian Basin are unlike the hours after a crash anywhere else, and the decisions you make in the first days will shape whether the truth of what happened can ever be proven. An early morning traffic incident in Midland, Texas has left one person dead and four individuals critically injured. The specific details — the vehicles involved, the cause, the identities — are still emerging, and we will not pretend to know what the evidence has not yet confirmed. What we do know, because we…

Ector County Intoxication Manslaughter: When a Drunk Driver Kills, the Criminal Case Is Only Half the Story If you are reading this because someone you love was killed by an intoxicated driver in Ector County, you are probably sitting with two things right now: a criminal case number and a grief that has no case number at all. The prosecutor is handling the first one. Nobody has been assigned to the second. That gap — between the courthouse where the State of Texas seeks a prison sentence and the kitchen table where your family is trying to survive the loss — is where we work. We are Attorney911. Ralph Manginello has spent 27 years in Texas courtrooms, including federal court, and before he was a lawyer he was a journalist — he learned to find the story the documents tell before anyone else does. Lupe Peña spent years inside a national insurance-defense firm, in the rooms where adjusters and their software decided how to deny, delay, and devalue people exactly like you. Now he sits on your side of the table. He conducts full consultations in Spanish without an interpreter. We handle wrongful death, dram shop, and catastrophic injury cases…

When a Gas Plant Explosion Takes Two Lives in the Permian Basin If you are reading this, someone you love did not come home from Pecos. Maybe it was your husband, your father, your son, your brother — a man who left Rio Grande City to work at a gas plant along Interstate 20 in West Texas, five hundred miles from the family he was providing for. And on a Saturday morning in October 2023, at 10:14 a.m., something went catastrophically wrong at 631 W I-20, and two men — Reynaldo Garcia, 57, and Angel Alaffa, 30 — were killed. We are writing this for you. Not for a general audience — for the family that is sitting at a kitchen table in Rio Grande City, in Starr County, trying to understand what happened and what to do next. You may have already received a call from the employer’s insurance company. You may have been told that workers’ compensation is your only option. You may have been asked to sign something. You may have been told the cause is “still under investigation” and that you should wait. Here is the first thing you need to hear: industrial explosions are rarely…

Officer-Involved Shooting in Odessa, Texas: Your Family’s Legal Rights After a Fatal Police Encounter If you are reading this page, someone in your family is gone. A law enforcement officer used deadly force in northwest Odessa, and the person you love did not come home. You may be standing in a hallway outside a hospital room, sitting at a kitchen table at 3 a.m. with a phone full of missed calls, or staring at a television screen waiting for the sheriff’s office to tell you what happened. The information you are getting is probably incomplete. It may be changing. And the one thing nobody has told you is that while you are grieving, evidence is already disappearing. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases across Texas, and we build civil rights cases against law enforcement agencies that use force unreasonably.

When a Brewery Watches a Fight Brew Inside Its Walls and Does Nothing — Your Family’s Rights Under Texas Law The phone rings at an hour no call should come. A hospital in Odessa. A name you know too well. A man who left for the Permian Basin weeks ago — who was supposed to come home — is in critical condition because someone punched him in a parking lot. By the time you reach Texas, he may already be gone. And while you are standing in a hallway at Medical Center Hospital, the brewery where it happened has already gone back to business, its cameras quietly recording over the footage of the worst night of your life. We need you to hear one thing before anything else: a man struck on the ground, unable to defend himself, is not a participant in a bar fight. He is a victim. And the establishment that watched the argument build inside its walls — that poured the drinks, that saw the tension, that let two men walk out a door toward a dark parking lot without a single intervention — may have broken a duty the law takes seriously. That duty is…

Midland Mass Shooting on Business 20: Your Legal Rights as a Victim or Family Member If you are reading this page, you or someone you love was on or near Business 20 in Midland when the shooting happened. You may be sitting in a hospital room right now, or standing in a kitchen trying to explain to children why their parent is not coming home the same person who left that morning. You may be one of the nearly a dozen people who walked away with a bullet wound and are now being told, by an insurance adjuster who sounds very friendly, that you should “just get better first and call us later.” That call is not a courtesy. It is a clock. And the evidence that would prove what actually happened — who failed to protect you, what the property owner knew about the danger on that corridor, whether the security measures that should have been in place were in place — is disappearing right now, in some cases within days. We are going to tell you everything we know about how a case like this is built under Texas law, what your rights actually are, and what is…

H2S Death at an Oilfield Waste Facility Near Orla, Texas — What the Family of a Worker Killed by Hydrogen Sulfide Needs to Know If someone you love was killed at an oilfield facility in the Permian Basin, you are reading this at a kitchen table or in a truck cab, trying to understand how a person goes to work and does not come home. We are going to tell you exactly what happened at the Channing waste treatment facility near Orla, Texas, in September 2022 — what the federal government found, what it means in plain language, and what your family’s rights are under Texas law. This is not a sales pitch. This is the information we would want if we were sitting where you are sitting. A worker at Production Waste Solutions’ Channing oil and gas waste treatment and disposal facility near Orla was skimming and suctioning sludge water and oil byproducts from a sump pit when he was overcome by hydrogen sulfide gas and died. The federal government investigated and cited the company for six safety violations. The total fine was $39,064. That number — less than the price of a used pickup truck — is what…

When a Doctor Misses Kawasaki Disease and Your Child’s Heart Pays for It If you are reading this because your child was sent home from an emergency room with a diagnosis of “acute viral syndrome” when the real condition was Kawasaki disease — and the delay meant your baby’s coronary arteries were permanently damaged — you already know the worst part of this. It is not the medicine. It is the moment you learned that someone saw the signs, someone else overruled them, and the clock ran out on your child while you trusted the people in the white coats. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We handle medical malpractice and catastrophic child injury cases across Texas, and we are writing this for one person: the parent sitting at a kitchen table in Midland, Odessa, or anywhere in the Permian Basin who just found out their baby has coronary artery aneurysms because a doctor discharged them with the wrong diagnosis.
