Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Texas

Your question is very, very broad and does not provide enough information for any IP lawyer worth their salt to be able to respond with anything substantive (and that's good; there are forms of IP that you would shoot yourself in the foot by discussing the particulars in an open forum on the internet). Therefore, the short, sweet answer to your question is that you need to pick up the telephone and call an intellectual property attorney to discuss the particular IP and the means available to you to protect it. You're welcome to contact me; I frequently work with clients remotely (Skype is a wonderful thing). Or you can contact your county or state bar association to find an IP attorney who is closer to home.
