Since this happened in TX it's probably going to have to be dealt with down there. I'd try asking for advice on a TX based forum and see what they say or if any of them could recommend an attorney down there. From a quick search I found these two sites.

I have no idea how good they are, or if they would be of any help but it might be worth a try.
Sorry I couldn't help you more.
