Local context

Texas legal overview

Texas relies on modified comparative fault. When your share of blame reaches 51 percent or higher, a number of injury claims could be blocked. Damage caps cover certain medical and government claims. Disputes arising near the Houston Ship Channel and West Texas energy operations often name several defendants.

Almost all personal injury lawsuits have to be filed within two years. Claims involving government bodies might carry earlier notice duties. Ask a Texas attorney to confirm your deadlines.
