## Resource

Got pulled over, cops seize your stuff—cash, car, whatever—and just drive off? Weeks later, you get legal papers… not for a crime, but for civil asset forfeiture. In Texas, this is its own beast: seizure ≠ loss. Hold every scrap of paper from the stop—inventory sheets, citations, even the court envelope—and jot down every detail while it’s fresh. Find the civil case in the county where the seizure happened (not where you live), because it runs on its own timeline and rules. Miss the response deadline? You lose your property without a hearing. Your goal? Prove you lawfully owned the seized item—with clear, traceable records. Don’t fake docs—just show the state how you got it.
