Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

The obvious answer seems to be to help make sure she has a stable home and can travel to her job without risk of being incarcerated. Unless there is something else involved that you have not disclosed, she should not be incarcerated for driving with an expired registration and no insurance (although the car may be impounded).

If there are concerns that she may find herself incarcerated for an extended period of time then you probably want to talk to a family lawyer (and your daughter) about obtaining custodial rights over your granddaughter so you can provide your granddaughter medical care, make educational decisions, etc. It's not about taking rights away from your daughter. It's about making sure your granddaughter can be provided necessary care.

I absolutely agree with Attorney Kielich. He gave you a great & thoughtful answer.

It appears you live in the Houston area. You need to have an experienced family law attorney ready to represent you if and when she is arrested.

I only mediate these days but I know a lot of excellent family law attorneys. I can refer you to several. You need to select one that you like & that you can afford.

You can look on this website & on www.avvo.com.
