The parts that really require face-to-face interaction are:Technology-challenged clients.When *I* need to verify identity or competency of parties I'm dealing with.Certain parts of litigation.If a client simply must see my face.Most drafting and doc review, I do this remotely through email, scanning, shared folders and docs on my practice management system, telephone, and web-meetings.Texas is larger than most European countries. 

An authorization to tow pursuant to this subsection may be made only under any of the following circumstances:  (1) There is displayed, in plain view at all entrances to the property, a sign not less than seventeen by twenty-two inches in size, with lettering not less than one inch in height, prohibiting public parking and indicating that unauthorized abandoned property or property parked in a restricted or assigned area will be removed at the owner's expense, disclosing the maximum fee for all charges related to towing and storage, and containing the telephone number of the local traffic law enforcement agency where information can be obtained or a twenty-four-hour staffed emergency information telephone number by which the owner of the abandoned property or property parked in a restricted or assigned area may call to receive information regarding the location of such owner's property;  (2) The abandoned property is left unattended on owner-occupied residential property with four residential units or less, and the owner, lessee or agent of the real property in lawful possession has notified the appropriate law enforcement agency, and ten hours have elapsed since that notification; or  (3) The abandoned property is left unattended on private property, and the owner, lessee or agent of the real property in lawful possession of real property has notified the appropriate law enforcement agency, and ninety-six hours have elapsed since that notification.  5.

If not in person I would go to telephone next. 

To get the other side of this story, and for the usual landlord questioning screen I've tried contacting the landlord - a large corporate property management company (common in NYC) - which turns out to have a non-working telephone number (which is clearly shown on their website), and they are a total dead end for trying to get information.Now I would have moved on after my first attempt to call this previous landlord and found the non-working number and impossibility to confirm tenancy info with them had it not been for the fact that this applicant appears stellar in all other ways - high income, high credit score/clean report, good current landlord review, etc., and is far above all my other applicants for this property at this time.

“Personal information” includes, but is not limited to, name, home address, and home telephone number.  

a good tenant is one who can and will pay their rent and can prove it with references. be careful of the tenant that shows up with a fist full of cash and wants to move in today and they are have a U Haul attached to their car and 5 kids are bouncing off the wall in your newly painted apartment, their car looks like a dumpster and they are vague about the telephone numbers of their last two landlords. 

To view a file you need the decedents case number then the clerk will pull that file for you to look over.No, this information is not available with a telephone call...

Second choice would be by telephone (voice, not text!)

A buyers agent works like another person in the telephone game in school and distorts your message a little bit more.

Again however, I was advised of this via a telephone call with a loan officer who spoke with the bank manager, so nothing specific in writing.
