In general, the statute of limitations in Texas is two years from the date of the injury. This means that if your lawsuit is not filed before that date, you will lose your right to file one. The law contains very few exceptions to this rule. If you are unsure of when the statute of limitations is going to expire, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to calculate the date. There are many important reasons not to wait until you get close to the end of your statute of limitations before contacting an attorney.
