Nursing Home Abuse in San Antonio and Bexar County
San Antonio's nursing home sector serves a predominantly Hispanic elderly population that, like other Texas communities, navigates TMLA's procedural requirements in elder abuse litigation. The presence of the South Texas Veterans Health Care System and Audie L. Murphy VA Hospital adds a federal dimension to some San Antonio nursing home abuse cases — claims against VA facilities follow Federal Tort Claims Act procedures rather than TMLA, with a 2-year administrative exhaustion requirement. Private facility claims in Bexar County follow standard TMLA procedures, with the 45-day pre-suit notice and 120-day expert report deadline. Bexar County juries have shown willingness to award punitive damages in cases involving deliberate abuse or egregious institutional neglect.
