Why quick action matters in Texas
Texas generally allows two years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, but much shorter deadlines can apply to claims involving a government entity — formal notice is generally required within six months, and some city charters shorten that to 30–90 days. Evidence also fades quickly. This is general information, not legal advice; a participating law firm can explain the deadlines that apply to you.
