Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Texas

School Trip

My brother was left in Austin, Tx by his basketball coach. My mother was not contacted by the coash nor any of the school's officials until they decided what his punishment would be for not returning to his hotel when the coach told him to. What kind of responsibility does the school district hold in this matter and do we have a right to take this higher? By the way we live in Dallas, Tx, about 31/2 hours from Austin.

Re: School Trip

You don't mention your brother's age. If he is a minor, then the school distict may have violated a duty to return him safely. If he is in college, then he made his bed and is old enough to lie in it.
