I have been trying to get help since my brother passed away in Nov 2024, they either don't answer the phone, don't ever return phone calls or transfer you to the wrong department I have tried League City, Galveston, and Texas City and nobody seems to want to help me with what I need. Don't know what to do next 2 months is a long time to try and get the County Clerk u get a recording for him and trying to get help with the court administrator never get a return phone call, and JP office no one answers. Such incompetency , never have I ever . Thank you all for not caring to help me resolve my issues.
