These Terms govern your use of our website. The most important point: using our website does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. That requires a signed engagement letter. Until then, please don't share confidential information you wouldn't want shared with the other side. If you have questions, call us at (512) 881-4484.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using longhorn-law.com (the "Website") operated by The Longhorn Law Firm ("we," "our," "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
2. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Using this Website, sending us a message through any form, or sending us an email does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between you and The Longhorn Law Firm.
An attorney-client relationship is established only when:
- You and our firm enter into a written engagement agreement (typically a contingency fee agreement); AND
- Our firm has reviewed your case for conflicts of interest and confirmed in writing that we represent you
Until both of those things happen, please do not send us confidential or sensitive information that you would not want shared with opposing parties. Information you send to us before an attorney-client relationship is formed may not be protected by attorney-client privilege.
If you need legal advice immediately, contact a qualified attorney directly. Statutes of limitations and legal deadlines are real — don't wait.
3. Permitted Use of the Website
You may use the Website for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes — including learning about our firm, reviewing legal information we publish, and contacting us about a potential case. Any other use requires our prior written consent.
4. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to:
- Use the Website in any way that violates any applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Website, our systems, or our networks
- Use any automated tools (bots, scrapers, crawlers) to access the Website except for legitimate search engine indexing
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Website
- Use the Website to transmit malware, viruses, or other harmful code
- Impersonate any person or misrepresent your identity
- Use the Website's contact forms for spam, advertising, or any purpose other than legitimate case inquiries
- Harass, threaten, or harm any other person through use of the Website
5. Intellectual Property
All content on the Website — including text, graphics, logos, images, design, code, and the compilation thereof — is the property of The Longhorn Law Firm or its licensors and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
"The Longhorn Law Firm," the Longhorn logo, and related marks are trademarks of our firm. You may not use them without our prior written consent.
You may print or save individual pages for your personal, non-commercial reference. Any other use — including republication, redistribution, or modification — requires our prior written consent.
6. User Submissions
If you submit information through the Website (forms, emails, etc.), you represent that:
- The information you submit is true, accurate, and not misleading
- You have the right to submit any documents or information you provide
- Your submission does not violate any third party's rights
We may use information you submit to evaluate your case and respond to you. We will treat case-related information as confidential subject to applicable law and ethics rules, but we cannot guarantee confidentiality before an attorney-client relationship is established (see Section 2).
7. Disclaimers
The Website and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
The Longhorn Law Firm does not warrant that:
- The Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
- The Website will be free of viruses or other harmful components
- The information on the Website is current, accurate, or complete in every respect
- The Website will meet your specific needs or requirements
The information on this Website is general legal information — it is NOT legal advice for your specific situation. Legal outcomes depend on the specific facts of each case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. To obtain legal advice for your situation, you must consult an attorney about your specific facts.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Longhorn Law Firm and its attorneys, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Website — including loss of profits, data, or goodwill — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability for any direct damages related to the Website shall not exceed $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so these limits may not apply to you.
9. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless The Longhorn Law Firm and its attorneys, employees, and affiliates from any claims, damages, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Website.
10. Third-Party Links
The Website may contain links to third-party websites. We provide these for convenience and do not endorse or control those websites. We are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or terms. Your use of third-party websites is at your own risk.
11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising from or related to your use of the Website shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance.
