Our FAQ

Have questions? We are here to help. Still have questions or can't find the answer you need? Give us a call at 210-761-6294 today!

  • Can I share my subscription benefits with others in my company or with affiliates?
    No. The subscription is personal to the subscribing entity or individual identified at enrollment. Benefits may not be shared with, assigned to, or used on behalf of any other person, entity, affiliate, subsidiary, or third party without the firm's express prior written consent. Unauthorized use may result in immediate suspension or termination of the subscription.
  • How is confidentiality handled in the subscription portal and communications?
    The firm maintains reasonable safeguards to protect client information consistent with Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and applicable data privacy standards. However, until a formal attorney-client relationship is established (see FAQ 10), communications are not automatically privileged or confidential under the attorney-client privilege. Once engaged, standard confidentiality obligations apply except as required by law or court order.
  • What if I have an urgent legal issue outside normal business hours?
    The subscription does not include after-hours, weekend, or emergency availability. Consultations and other services are scheduled during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, generally 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, subject to holidays). For true emergencies requiring immediate action (for example, imminent litigation deadlines), the firm may accommodate expedited scheduling where feasible, but no guarantee of same-day or after-hours response exists. In such cases, the matter may require a separate Project engagement with rush fees if applicable.
  • Can I cancel my subscription at any time? What are the consequences?
    Subscriptions with a minimum commitment (3 months for Basic/Advanced/Premium; 6 months for Advisor/GC) remain in effect for that initial period. After the minimum commitment, subscribers may cancel with thirty (30) days' written notice through the portal or by contacting the firm. Upon cancellation: (i) access to all subscription benefits ends at the conclusion of the final paid month; (ii) any prepaid fees for the notice period are non-refundable; and (iii) if cancellation occurs before the twelve-month anniversary of enrollment and Registered Agent service is included, the account converts to Registered Agent Only status with the $99 annual fee commencing on the original renewal date (see Registered Agent footnote). Early termination does not relieve the obligation to pay for the minimum commitment period.
  • What happens if I exceed my monthly entitlements?
    If a subscriber uses more consultations, customizations, contract reviews, or other limited services than allotted in their tier for a given month, the firm will notify the client promptly. Any excess work will be treated as a separate Project requiring a written flat-fee quote or hourly retainer estimate, which the client must approve in advance before the firm proceeds. The firm does not perform unapproved work or bill retroactively without prior agreement.
  • Does subscribing create an attorney-client relationship or make communications privileged?
    No. An attorney-client relationship is formed, and the attorney-client privilege attaches, only after the firm has: (i) completed a conflict-of-interest check; (ii) accepted the engagement; and (iii) the client has executed a formal engagement letter or agreement. Until that point, communications through the portal, email, or otherwise do not create confidentiality obligations or privilege. See the Subscription Disclaimer for full details.
  • Do my hours, consultations, customizations, or review blocks carry over month to month?
    No. All limited entitlements (consultations, customizations, contract reviews, etc.) are allocated monthly, earned on the first business day of the month, and expire at month-end without carryover, credit, or refund. This is not a prepaid legal service subscription.
  • What types of law are not included?
    The following are expressly excluded from all subscription tiers and are not offered by the firm in this program: tax advice, bankruptcy, patents, family law, probate/trust administration, and any other matters not explicitly described in the tier inclusions. See the Subscription Disclaimer.
  • What size businesses do you work with?
    The firm serves growing businesses of all sizes, from solopreneurs to entities with dozens of employees and eight-figure revenues, provided the matters fall within the firm's competence and the subscription scope.
  • Do you handle litigation?
    Yes, the firm handles litigation when appropriate. However, no subscription tier covers litigation costs or substantive work. Membership facilitates initial consultation and strategic planning, but any litigation or related Project requires a separate engagement agreement and fees.
  • How soon will I be able to become a subscription client?
    The firm accepts a limited number of subscription clients to maintain service quality. Interested parties should contact us for availability. If capacity is presently constrained, the firm will notify when openings arise.
  • Why do you offer subscription-based services?
    The subscription model eliminates guesswork on costs and encourages early preventive advice to avert larger issues. It fosters a true advisory relationship wherein the firm invests in the client's long-term success. The firm is incentivized to deliver value, as underutilization may lead to cancellation. This approach suits businesses desiring an ongoing legal partner rather than transactional, one-off engagements.
  • So, I can call whenever I want?
    No. To ensure focused attention, all attorney interactions must be scheduled through the membership portal. This policy applies to consultations, customizations, reviews, and any other services.
  • How long does it take to talk to an attorney?
    What is your availability? Consultations are prioritized by membership level, with GC tier clients receiving highest priority. The firm endeavors to schedule consultations within two to three business days, though wait times may vary based on volume or attorney availability. Specific attorney requests may extend scheduling. All appointments are booked via the membership portal.
  • What is a subscription in business law?
    A subscription provides predictable, monthly access to preventive legal resources and limited attorney consultations for businesses seeking ongoing support without the uncertainty of traditional hourly billing. Premium tiers include quick verbal advice on new issues, document access, workshops, and more. All services remain subject to the defined scope and limitations in each tier. See our Subscription Disclaimer for details on no guarantees and fee reasonableness.

Primary Subscription Disclaimer

Important Legal Disclaimer – South Texas Business Lawyer (STBL) Subscription Services

The information contained on this website, in marketing materials, in the membership portal, and in any descriptions of the STBL subscription tiers (including Registered Agent Only, Basic, Advanced, Premium, Advisor, and GC plans) is provided for general informational purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, or form the basis for any legal representation.

No attorney-client relationship shall be formed, and no legal services shall be provided, until: (i) the firm has expressly accepted the engagement; (ii) an appropriate conflict check has been completed; (iii) the client has executed a formal engagement letter or agreement; and (iv) any required initial fees have been paid. Until that time, any communications (including inquiries through the portal, emails, or consultations under a subscription) do not establish confidentiality, privilege, or a duty to act.

Subscription fees are paid in exchange for access to designated preventive resources, consultations, and limited services as outlined in each tier. These fees are earned upon receipt and are non-refundable, except as expressly provided in the applicable engagement terms. Monthly subscription fees are deemed fully earned on the first business day of each month. Unused entitlements (including consultations, customizations, contract reviews, or other limited services) expire at the end of the applicable month and do not carry over.

The STBL subscription is not a guarantee of any particular outcome, result, or resolution of legal issues. Services are limited to the scope expressly described in the tier selected (e.g., verbal consultations on new issues, basic/advanced document access, limited customizations or reviews). Any matter requiring substantial research, drafting beyond inclusions, negotiation, litigation, or work outside the defined entitlements constitutes a separate "Project" and may require additional fees (flat or hourly) pursuant to a separate agreement or retainer estimate provided in advance.
