  1. No new law, law is as new as one saying we have freedom of speech and religion, just regurgitation of old law which refers to Federal Firearms and Explosives Law, permitted calibers are .22, .25, .32, .38 (not +P or super) and .380 auto.
  2. Article 111 of the regulations to the transit law state right on red is ok h) La vuelta a la derecha es permitida, aún con semáforo en alto, con precaución, y dando siempre la prelación a los vehículos que circulan con la luz de semáforo en verde, previo alto total y otorgando preferencia a los peatones y ciclistas; La vuelta a la izquierda está prohibida, salvo en los casos de que se provenga e ingrese a calles de un solo sentido de circulación, con las mismas restricciones y precauciones que la vuelta a la derecha, y cuando exista señalamiento expreso que lo permita Congress link to current law http://congresoweb.congresojal.gob.mx/BibliotecaVirtual/legislacion/Reglamentos/Reglamento de la Ley de Movilidad y Transporte del Estado de Jalisco.doc Transito web site link to current law https://info.jalisco.gob.mx/sites/default/files/leyes/reglamento_de_la_ley_de_movilidad_y_transporte_pdf.pdf
  3. Just search maids gone wild, bad airlines, fraccs gone wild people who dont know how to use google
  4. Who issued the ticket? Was your handicapped card issued by DIF in Mexico?
  5. Avoid out of state plates as Jalisco is strict and that protects you from frauds
  6. Can be a couple of things..... Does battery have water levels filled? Easy to open and check although if low for too long cells can be damaged. Autozone can test for free. Is the alternator bad? Autozone can test for free. Is a light or device staying on? I had a short and the rear A/C blower fan would stay on after truck turned off. Cheap fix was to pull rear A/C fuse.
  7. This is where at a stoplight there is a left hand turn lane and cars lined up to turn left and then someone doesn´t want to wait so they cut in the line and place themselves in front of the first car in the left turn lane in the intersection. Very common in Guadalajara, rare lakeside.
  8. Due to overwhelming demand and the need to educate people on traffic laws, their rights and responsibilities as well as fines and amounts, I have updated my Jalisco Traffic Guide so it is current as of October 19, 2018. Please feel free to read it and download it and let me know if there is anything that should be added / deleted / corrected, etc. 2018 Jalisco Traffic Law Guide Happy Driving!
  9. Not the case, just lazy driver who wants to extort more money. They know where ride is before they accept. Much fewer Uber cars in the Chapala area, yesterday tried for hours to get a ride from Chapala to GDL finally found one guy who accepted as he wanted to go back to Guad.
  10. Well hey you can offer the service, hire a car, review documents, have the car wait an hour or two, translate, etc. If there is just one person we take a loss. God forbid we actually make money and not lose it. Yes hire a taxi or driver like the one that screwed up a clients papers at the SAT office, he paid taxi rates and got taxi brains. Then the mess had to be cleaned up.
  11. We charge 750 or 800 pesos per person plus license fees. I do it as a service for clients and try to charge what a taxi would charge to go to Guad and back.
  12. We take people in every few weeks, usually 1 -4 people, smaller groups and if we leave by 8.30 or so we are back by a bit after 12ish
  13. I have never had problems with Mercadolibre until the past 2 weeks. 3 sellers told me they did not have the product. They should not be selling something they do not have.
  14. We are still receiving complaints about people paying to nationalize vehicles and getting fake papers or no papers at all, a "law" firm in Ajijic charging $3,000US and then says sorry we cant do it and not returning money.
  15. Current cards are still valid, just new look to new ones. Those applying for a new visa will need to use new form and for entries and exits there are new forms for foreigners and nationals.
  16. From attorney Spencer McMullen Mexico published today, July 31, 2018 in its Federal Register or Diario Oficial de la Federacion some changes to common immigration forms. These changes will be effective tomorrow, August 1, 2018. The following forms have had slight changes made to them. FMM Form Commonly Called Tourist Card Form (It is really to track entries and exits for statistical purposes and only acts as a tourist card for those who have no other visa). They changed some of the numbers around, also on the lower parts of both halves they write in how many days the visa is good for, on the old forms only the bottom section had a box to write in the information. TEMPORARY / PERMANENT VISA CARD New card format is similar to the old one. There are small differences such as the design and logos on the top of the front side, and on the front side both the issue and expiration dates will appear, old cards had expiration date on front and issue date on the rear. The rear side will have space for folio number, where printed and renewal number with the other signatures and barcodes the same as before. FORMATO BASICO, the form you turn in when applying for any temporary or permanent visa. The new form seems to be the same as far as information requested but does delete the spots where you would put your fingerprints or attach photos. FEM Formato Estadístico para Mexicanos, the form Mexicans use for entering and leaving the country. This form has changed from being blue or purple in the pasty to a lime green color on the new form. New form FEM Formato Estadístico para Mexicanos Repatriados (Deporteees) This form is to track entries from Mexicans deported from other countries. It is a good idea to make sure that when you use any of the aforementioned forms that you use the new ones as using the old ones may cause a delay or rejection when you do any business with the National Immigration Institute or INAMI. It is unknown when immigration / airports / border crossings will have the new forms available as well as if there will be any grace period for use of old forms.
  17. You have to do a separate notification to aduana and then it finds its way to the computer system and show updated
  18. Notaries dont like me getting involved as I have tremendous experience with property due diligence and preparation of property deeds as well as a postgraduate degree in Notarial law. I can critique all parts of a deed and see errors, I have been doing it for quite some time and have the experience. Few if no other attorneys have that experience except for notaries. I catch mistakes all the time and they do not like that, heck if I was a harmless :() there would be no resistance to me reviewing any documents but notaries all the sudden decide they dont know what documents to send to me, even though client says send Spencer entire file, they refuse. I have prepared, reviewed and translated hundreds of property deeds so nobody except for a notary has my level of experience. Also by the time a notary looks at the file the buyer has placed a deposit of 10% and the sellers and agents are breathing down their neck and the poor notary who gets many referrals from the real estate people is in an awkward position.
  19. Last month aduana (customs) published an updated manual for the temporary importation of vehicles. This manual is an update of the last one published in 2014 and now clearly lists who can import cars and periods. It also lists who can drive the cars and once again reaffirms that the only document you need to show that your expired TIP (car import permit) is valid is your immigration document and nothing from aduana, however, you must notify aduana whenever you get a new immigration document or risk losing your deposit you paid to get the permit. I have made a 4 page file with the important pages of the 75 page document that every foreigner should print and keep in their car as it shows, in Spanish, who can temporarily import foreign plated vehicles, how long they may be imported for, what document they need to prove it and who can drive their foreign plated car. The form to extend the temporary permits has changed as well and you can extend the permit when you renew your temporary resident card and do not have to go back to the border to do so. My office goes every week to present the extension notices. To recap the document has the following information on the following pages (not necessarily manual page but page of file I created): 1) Immigration Status or visa Types and maximum length of temporary importation. 2) Length of temporary importation and what document needed to prove it (temporary visa only). 3) Who can drive a temporarily imported vehicle, foreigners… 4) Importer can drive, their spouse, children, parents, brothers and sisters, another foreigner who is tourist or temporary, or anybody else as long as importer is present in the vehicle File can be found here: http://www.chapalalaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/SAT-Aduana-Manual-Junio-2018-extranjeros.pdf
  20. If you do not notify then you will not get the deposit back. Over the years their internal policies have changed. Before they were very diligent about registering notifications. Previously if there was an issue it could be fixed with a phone call and money credited within days, now even after documents and proof is sent nothing happens. Now they are very sloppy and when presented with evidence and even when the computer shows that the extension was done properly, they give excuses and aduana blames Banjercito who blames SAT and the three agencies cannot get their stories straight. It seems to be a policy to keep peoples money knowing many dont speak Spanish and to sue would cost much more than the amount in dispute.
  21. You need to present a notification to aduana within 15 days of your RT being authorized with proper number of copies and attachments. My office does this for people if you dont want to drive to the city to present it.
  22. There is a place across from my old office in Providencia, Guadalajara that sells ammo, I went in the other day and got prices. .22 50 for 105 pesos .32 50 for 625 pesos .38 50 for 750 pesos .380 50 for 670 pesos 12 gauge shotgun shells 200 pesos for skeet loads, 400 for buckshot
  23. Double decker bus tours go all over daily.
  24. Sorry, haven't checked this thread in a while. Source is my personal experience with hundreds of Mexican probate cases. We have up to 5 clients die per month so do the math. As far as inheritance tax Mexico doesn't have any and in the US the limit is high. I do have this article on my web site and not sure if it prints well there. If not then I could add a pdf link to a nicely formatted and easy to print one off my web page. As far as beneficiary / co account holder. If co account holder the person has the right to the money, also to be such they may be required to have an immigration card and CURP, RFC, etc. to be placed on account. Also if they are a joint account holder they may be liable for US FATCA reporting if the account has over $10,000US at any point in the year. Beneficiary clause avoids them accessing funds in the event there are honesty issues as well as generating unknown tax reporting requirements.
