Whats a committment for title in texas?
A commitment for title in Texas is a document issued by a title company before closing a real estate transaction. It contains:
- The terms under which the title company will issue a title insurance policy.
- Details of any existing liens or defects on the property.
- Information about the ownership and legal description of the property.
This allows potential buyers to understand any issues that need to be addressed before ownership can be transferred.
The title co says they need to clear up issues with the previous deed. What does that mean? Why is the buyer and not the seller asked thst?
"Clearing up issues with the previous deed" usually means resolving any title defects or liens on the property. The buyer is often involved because:
- They need to ensure a clear title before purchase.
- They are the ones obtaining title insurance.

It's a standard procedure to safeguard the buyer's interests.
How can the buyer clear it up? Wouldn't the seller be asked?
The buyer can clear up title issues by:
- Requesting the seller to resolve them.
- Negotiating a reduced price to cover the cost of resolution.
- Using an escrow account to hold funds until the issue is resolved.
Usually, it's the seller's responsibility, but if they're uncooperative, the buyer may have to take action.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Can you please let me know in which state this happened? The laws regarding patient rights can vary from state to state.
California
In California, healthcare providers are not allowed to retaliate against a patient for filing a grievance. You may wish to consult with a healthcare attorney or file a complaint with the California Department of Public Health. Does this help?
What is this kind of case called retaliation?
Yes, retaliation is the correct term. In legal context, retaliation refers to when an individual or entity takes an adverse action against someone because they filed a complaint or grievance. In your case, it refers to adverse action by your healthcare provider for filing a grievance.
by a doctor
If you're referring to a potential legal case against your doctor for retaliation, this could fall under medical malpractice or violation of patient rights. Are you considering taking legal action?
And if the dept of health finds a violation, then what?
If the Department of Health in California finds a violation:
- They may take disciplinary action against the provider.
- They may impose fines or penalties.
- They could require corrective action.
- In severe cases, they might revoke the provider's license.
Keep in mind, each case is unique and results can vary.
But I would receive nothing.
If the Department of Health finds a violation and takes action, it doesn't necessarily mean financial compensation for you. For that, you might need to pursue a civil lawsuit. Would you like information on how to start a lawsuit in California?
Does the fine against the Doctor help my lawsuite?
A fine against the doctor can strengthen your lawsuit as it's an acknowledgment of wrongdoing. However, it isn't directly connected to your potential financial compensation. You should consult a lawyer to understand better.
Is that concidered a civil right?
Yes, retaliation for filing a grievance against a healthcare provider could be considered a violation of civil rights. It's also considered a violation of your patient rights. If you feel your rights have been violated, you can file a lawsuit.
Define patient abandonment in California
In California, patient abandonment occurs when a healthcare provider terminates the patient-physician relationship without reasonable notice or a reasonable excuse, and fails to provide the patient with an opportunity to find a qualified replacement care provider.
What if the dr was in the middle of prescribing meds and took 21 days to send a pre authorization form ..Then banned a patient for complaining.
This situation might fall under patient abandonment. However, this depends on specific circumstances, such as whether the delay in prescription caused harm. Are you considering filing a lawsuit for patient abandonment?
The delay caused a lot of pain.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. If you've suffered due to this delay, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. Are you seeking legal representation, or would you like information on how to proceed with a lawsuit for patient abandonment in California?
After the delay was reported he banned me from the office
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Banning a patient from the office after a complaint may be considered retaliation, which is illegal under California law. You may want to consult with a lawyer. Would you like information on how to find legal representation in California?
Where does that say it's against the law?
In California, retaliation against patients is considered illegal under the Patient's Bill of Rights in the California Health and Safety Code, Section *, *, and others. This includes the right to file grievances without fear of retaliation.
So, there's no way to stop them if they do that.

I need a free lawyer
I understand your situation. In California, there are legal aid services that may provide free legal help in certain circumstances. You could contact the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles or the Legal Services of Northern California. Please note that eligibility may depend on your income and the nature of your case.
This is not a whistleblower case?
It's not a whistleblower case. Whistleblower cases involve an individual reporting illegal or unethical activities of their employer or organization. Your case seems to be related to patient rights and potential retaliation by a healthcare provider. Do you have any other questions?
How long does it have to be to be patient aboandonment?
In California, there's no specific timeline for patient abandonment. It generally occurs when a healthcare provider ends the patient-physician relationship without reasonable notice, leaving the patient without necessary care. The context and harm caused are also considered.
What about ignoring a patient for three weeks in the middle of a treatment?
Ignoring a patient for three weeks during treatment could potentially be considered patient abandonment if it resulted in harm to the patient. This would depend on the specifics of the situation and it's recommended you consult with a lawyer.
I can't find a lawyer for patient rights. They all require injury.
I understand your frustration. While physical injury can often be a component of these cases, harm can also include emotional distress or suffering due to negligence.
