Liability Considerations in Houston
Hernia Mesh Litigation in Houston
Houston is the primary origination point for Texas hernia mesh claims filed in the S.D. Texas before transfer to MDL 2846 in Columbus, Ohio. Texas Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003 imposes a 2-year limitations period with discovery rule tolling from the date the plaintiff knew or should have known of the mesh-related injury. Harris County courts are considered moderately defense-favorable for product liability, making MDL consolidation an attractive strategy for plaintiffs. The Texas Medical Center's high surgical volumes mean a disproportionately large number of hernia mesh implantations occurred in Houston.
