How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Houston, Texas?

Texas has a statute of limitations that sets a deadline of two years from the date the medical malpractice occurred to file a suit against the at-fault healthcare provider. While certain situations can extend this deadline, only an experienced lawyer can tell you if they apply to your case.

Because a suit filed after the deadline can be tossed out as untimely regardless of its underlying merits, you should consult an attorney about your options.
