Our Editorial Process

Who Writes Content on This Site

All legal content is authored or reviewed by one of L and L Law Group's two Texas-licensed criminal-defense attorneys:

• Njeri London — Texas Bar No. 24043266. Co-Founding Partner. Reviews and authors content on Texas DWI defense, drug-crime defense, assault and family-violence defense, expunction and non-disclosure, juvenile defense, and TEA/SBEC educator-license defense.
• Reggie London — Texas Bar No. 24043514. Co-Founding Partner. Former Assistant District Attorney, Dallas County (Texas). Reviews and authors content on federal criminal defense (TXND and TXED), federal sentencing, white-collar fraud, RICO conspiracy, drug trafficking, federal weapons charges, and serious-felony state matters.

How We Produce Content

1. Topic identification. Our editorial calendar prioritizes topics where Texas criminal-defense clients most often search for substantive guidance — DFW-specific court procedures, recent statutory changes, and frequently-misunderstood penalty structures.
2. Primary-source research. Every legal-content article cites primary authority — Texas Penal Code, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, U.S. Code, controlling Texas Court of Criminal Appeals decisions, and U.S. Supreme Court precedent. We link to statutes.capitol.texas.gov for Texas statutes and to Cornell LII or PACER for federal authority.
3. Attorney drafting or review. Where AI-assisted drafting tools are used (research summaries, outlines, first drafts), the resulting text is substantively edited and approved by a licensed Texas attorney before publication. We do not publish AI-generated content as authoritative legal information without attorney review.
4. Editorial accuracy check. Every page is reviewed for: statute citation accuracy, currency of legal authority, jurisdictional applicability (state vs federal vs municipal), and compliance with Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct Part VII.
5. Last-reviewed dating. Each substantive content page carries a visible "Last reviewed by [Attorney] on [Date]" notation. This date is also encoded in the page's dateModified schema property for search-engine consumption.

How We Update Content

Texas criminal law evolves through legislative amendments, appellate decisions, and federal sentencing changes. We refresh content through three mechanisms:

• Quarterly review cycle. Every practice-area page is reviewed at least quarterly for statute amendments, new appellate authority, and sentencing-guideline updates.
• Triggered review on legislative change. When the Texas Legislature amends a statute we discuss (e.g., the 2019 marijuana reclassification, the 2021 Part VII rules amendment), we review and update affected pages within 60 days of the effective date.
• Triggered review on appellate authority. When the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals or the Fifth Circuit issues a decision that changes a doctrine we discuss, we update affected pages.
