Beatriz Adriana Sosa-Morris

Attorney Beatriz “Bea” Sosa-Morris was born in McAllen, Texas, and raised in Angleton, Texas. She watched her parents' American dream come to fruition when they started their small business called "Angleton Tire Shop." At that moment, she knew that she wanted to realize her American dream and enter a profession in which she could assist others through difficult times in their lives. Her first job was at the family tire shop where she developed her work ethic. Her family turned a rundown fruit stand into a tire shop where every member of her immediate family has worked including her husband who is now a neurosurgeon. Attorney Sosa-Morris was not afraid of working hard and getting her hands dirty while working at Angleton Tire Shop, and that work ethic has followed her into her professional career. Attorney Sosa-Morris says that, “a hands-on approach to every case is a necessity if you truly believe that the Client Matters. While other firms may have a partners’ name on the door, the client never speaks with that partner and they end up being pawned off to someone the client did not hire. Here, I am always reachable because you hired me.” Attorney Sosa-Morris attended Angleton High School and graduated in the top 10% of her class. She received a full four-year scholarship to Sam Houston State University. Only three years after graduating from high school, she earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business and a Bachelor in Business Administration in Economics, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Attorney Sosa-Morris is a native English and Spanish speaker. She studied international finance and international business administration in Puebla, Mexico, at the Universidad Iberoamericana and finished her undergraduate degrees at Sam Houston State University in 2008. After receiving her two bachelor degrees, Attorney Sosa-Morris attended South Texas College of Law. At South Texas, Attorney Sosa-Morris graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Q. Does my employer have to pay me for the hours I worked when I accidentally staying past my assigned shift?

March 21, 2017

A: Your employer needs to pay you for all hours worked. They can then require that you don't work as many hours. However, if they are on notice that you worked those hours, then they have to pay you for the hours you worked.

Q. What to do when you disagree with the company doctor And you know that the injury was work related

March 21, 2017

A: You need to dispute the extent of injury and set up a benefits review conference. You dispute the extent of injury by filling out a DWC 45 and filing it with TDI-DWC. You can find the form here: http://www.tdi.texas.gov/forms/dwc/dwc045brc.pdf However, I recommend you consult with an attorney regarding your rights before you go to a benefits review conference ("BRC"). You need to have medical evidence that the injury was work related and an attorney can make sure that the medical records you have are legally sufficient.

Q. can my employer cut my hours after i questioned him about a labor law ?

February 15, 2017

A: There are certain anti-retaliation provisions in wage and hour laws. For example, the FLSA has a non-retaliation provision for employees complaining about not receiving overtime or minimum wage that may be applicable. Good luck.
