Privacy Policy & Lead Disclosure
Last Updated: May 2026
The Houston Bankruptcy & SSDI Resource Center is NOT a law firm. We operate exclusively as a lead-generation and referral resource designed to connect residents of Houston and Harris County with independent legal marketing partners and participating attorneys. We do not provide legal advice, we do not provide legal representation, and our staff are not licensed attorneys. Submitting a form through this website does NOT create an attorney-client relationship. Your information is used solely to facilitate a connection with a qualified legal professional in our third-party network.
1. Information Collection and Routing Protocol
When you utilize our platform to seek assistance for Houston Bankruptcy or Disability (SSDI/SSI) matters, we collect personal data you provide voluntarily. This typically includes your contact details and a summary of your legal situation. In compliance with the Texas Business and Commerce Code, we prioritize the secure transmission of this data.
The Transmission Process: Once you submit an evaluation request, your data is securely transmitted to our legal marketing partners (such as Legal Brand Marketing). These independent entities then route your inquiry to a licensed Texas attorney within their specific network who offers free initial consultations.
2. Third-Party Processing & Liability Shield
Once your information is transmitted from the Houston Bankruptcy & SSDI Resource Center, it becomes subject to the privacy policies and data security protocols of our third-party partners. We do not control, oversee, or guarantee the data retention practices or third-party sharing protocols of these independent entities.
By using this site, you expressly agree that we are not liable for any actions, data breaches, or communications that occur once your lead information has been successfully handed off to a processing partner or the resulting legal office.
3. Express Consent to Contact (TCPA Compliance)
By submitting your phone number or email through our evaluation forms, you are providing **express written consent** to be contacted by our legal marketing partners or their affiliated attorneys. This contact may include:
- Direct telephone calls from licensed legal professionals.
- Automated dialing systems or pre-recorded messages.
- SMS/Text messages and email correspondence.
This consent applies even if your number is currently listed on any state or federal “Do Not Call” registry. You may revoke this consent at any time by notifying the contacting party directly.
4. No Attorney-Client Privilege
As a referral resource and not a law firm, any information shared with us is NOT protected by attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine. We strongly advise against sharing highly sensitive, trade-secret, or incriminating details in your initial form submission. Privilege only attaches once you have entered into a formal, signed engagement agreement with a licensed Houston Bankruptcy Lawyer or other legal professional.
5. Cookies, Pixels, and Local Analytics
We utilize standard web technologies, including cookies and tracking pixels, to monitor visitor traffic and optimize our resource guides. These tools help us determine which Houston-specific legal topics (such as the Texas Homestead Exemption) are most valuable to our users. You may opt-out of cookie tracking through your browser settings, though this may limit certain site functionalities.
6. External Authoritative Links
Our guides often link to external authoritative bodies, such as the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. We provide these for educational purposes only. We have no control over the privacy practices or content accuracy of external domains and encourage you to review their policies upon leaving our site.
