01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Texas?

Texas has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. The discovery rule applies when the nature of the injury is inherently undiscoverable. Minors toll the limitations period until they reach 18. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
