Texas Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Exceptions, and Common Pitfalls
Texas's general personal-injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury under CPRC 16.003. The traps are around it: a six-month notice to a city, county, or state agency under the Texas Tort Claims Act, a 60-day pre-suit notice for medical malpractice with a 10-year statute of repose, and a 51% modified-comparative-fault bar that ends cases if the plaintiff is more than half at fault.
