Who we areThe Order of the Pencil
The pencil is mightier than the gavel when it writes the record. Molae Ministeria exists to arm parents, grandparents and citizens who face family courts, agencies and officials acting outside the law, so they stop pleading and start documenting.
We stand for the U.S. and Texas Constitutions and the rights of the citizen, the parent and the child. Every weapon in this armory is lawful, every citation has been read against the statute, and every filed affidavit is posted only once it carries a file stamp.
BE SEEING YOU.
