Whats the Law about firing in Texas?

Answer:

CO2 (carbon dioxide) extinguishers are for class B and C fires. They don't work very well on class A fires because the material usually reignites. CO2 extinguishers have an advantage over dry chemical in that they leave behind no harmful residue. That makes carbon dioxide a good choice for an electrical fire involving a computer or other delicate instrument. Note that CO2 is a bad choice for a flammable metal fires such as Grignard reagents, alkyllithiums and sodium metal because CO2 reacts with these materials. CO2 extinguishers are not approved for class D fires!
Unless there is proof there's no way this will ever go to anything more then showing that the other person isn't that smart. And actually she might get into trouble.
One thing to prove she is lying is to find out where she says the accident happen then investigate and see if a hydrant in that area ever had to be repaired??
Sounds like a very weak case. You should not have anything to worry about. You need to contact your insurance company, if you haven’t, and let them know what you know. As an Accident Investigator, I see these money-grab cases pretty often. The reason she has made up the fire hydrant story is that if she was drunk and chose to jump from the car it is not considered a traffic accident and therefore would not be able to go after you policy limits. The amount of time that has passed is probably not beyond the time limitation to file a civil suit, but doesn’t help her case at all; neither does the fact that no police report was filed. Depending on the size of the car your son was driving, the chances of striking a fire hydrant hard enough to injure the occupants and not knocking it off its pedestal sending water 20 feet in the air and subsequent police notification are pretty slim. Also, this impact would ALMOST certainly been a significant enough change in speed to deploy the vehicles air bags and damaging the vehicle to the extent that it could not be driven and in definite need of repair or being “totaled” by the insurance company. I would expect you have a way to show this was not the case. Keep all correspondence! If this is what I think it is, this thief and her ambulance-chasing lawyer may change the story to your son having pushed her from the car. Again, not an accident, but they might try to sue you and your son. Good luck with this.
