By Tad Nelson – League City Board Certified Criminal Defense Lawyer and proud  lifetime Galveston County resident Criminal law is not just something I do. It has been my life’s work.

Those are fair questions, and they matter here at home just as much as they do in the national litigation.  Uber operates in Houston and Galveston, providing rideshare services to residents and visitors. Rideshare assault allegations are not just a California courtroom story. In January 2026, federal authorities announced charges against four Houston-area rideshare drivers accused of kidnapping passengers and sexually assaulting them, which underscores that this is a real l...
