Where to File in Texas
Texas gabapentin cases may be filed in four federal districts: Northern (Dallas), Southern (Houston), Eastern (Marshall, Texarkana), or Western (San Antonio, Austin, El Paso). The Eastern District has historically been plaintiff-favorable for pharmaceutical cases. Harris County District Court in Houston is a major state court pharmaceutical venue. Texas follows proportionate responsibility (Chapter 33) which can reduce recovery. Punitive damage caps apply: greater of $200,000 or two times economic damages plus $750,000 non-economic (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 41.008).
