Privacy Policy Notice

Attorneys who provide legal services involving financial matters of clients are now required by federal law to inform their clients of their policies regarding the privacy of client information. The purpose of this notice is to explain what we will be doing with the personal and financial information that you provide to us, and the ways that we will protect your privacy.

Texas attorneys are bound by the Texas Rules of Professional Conduct. These professional ethics rules govern our conduct and require us to protect your confidentiality. These professional standards are even more stringent than those now required by federal law. Therefore, we have always protected your right to privacy and will continue to do so. Federal law now also requires that we let you know how we are protecting your privacy.

Types of Personal Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect personal data from you such as your name, phone number, mobile number, email address, mailing address, and any other personal data you submit to us.

Types of Nonpublic Personal Information We Collect

We collect nonpublic personal information about you that you provide to us or that we obtain while delivering the legal services you have requested. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address, financial data, estate or property information, and communication preferences, including whether you consent to receive SMS (text message) communications.

Use and Disclosure of Information

We disclose your nonpublic personal information only to individuals or entities necessary for providing the legal services you have requested. For example, our staff may access your nonpublic personal information to efficiently meet your legal needs. In certain situations, we might share information with another organization (such as your accountant, realtor, or insurance company) to obtain necessary details or to assist in delivering the legal services you requested.

We do not sell, share, or rent your personal or financial information to third parties for marketing purposes.

We may use SMS (text messaging) to communicate with you regarding:

• Appointment confirmations and reminders
• Case updates or notifications
• Periodic legal alerts or firm announcements

Text message communications are sent only with your express written consent, and you can opt out at any time by replying “STOP.” Message frequency may vary. Standard message and data rates may apply.

You Have the Right to Limit Disclosure and Communication

If you prefer that we do not share your nonpublic personal information with other parties while providing legal services—or if you would rather not receive communications via text message—you can instruct us to refrain from making those disclosures or to limit the communication methods we use. If you wish to make such a request, please contact: info@praxislegacylaw or call 817.462.5454.

Your Privacy Is Important to Us

We retain records and files related to the professional services you have requested. To protect your nonpublic personal information, we uphold physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with the Code of Professional Responsibility governing our profession, as well as relevant federal privacy laws, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the TCPA, and the CAN-SPAM Act.

Please call us with any questions that you have about protecting your privacy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We do not sell, share, or rent your personal, financial, or mobile information to any third parties for marketing or any other purposes. Your data will not be transferred to external organizations under any circumstances.
