ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week on the Weekly Docket, join Phil and Chris as they discuss Texas real estate regulations, healthcare billing rules, and real property litigation tools. They start by examining 22 Tex. Admin. Code § 535.157, breaking down the requirement that real estate brokers and sales agents respond to clients and transactional parties within two calendar days and how delays can trigger fiduciary duty violations. Then they address healthcare billing, explaining patient rights under HIPAA and the HITECH Act to pay cash out-of-pocket rather than bill private insurance, along with Good Faith Estimate mandates under the No Surprises Act and exceptions for Medicaid and Medicare. Finally, they discuss when filing a lis pendens is legally justified in real estate disputes involving title or specific performance, versus common misuses like securing unsecured monetary debts or pressuring parties during business dissolutions.
