The Basics of Statutes of
Limitations Law in Texas
Charles Stam
Introduction
Charles Stam is an established presence in the Houston legal community who
provides client representation with Lightfoot, Franklin & White, LLC. Among the
aspects of law that Charles Stam has extensive knowledge of is the Texas statutes
of limitations.
Almost every legal case involves restrictions on the length of time following an
incident in which a claim can be filed and a prosecution can proceed. The statute of
limitation takes effect at the moment that a crime is committed or a lawsuit-eligible
injury occurs, and varies depending on the type of case.
One additional consideration is discovery, or the length of time it takes to discover
an injury or crime following its occurrence. For example, it can take months for a
credit card fraud incident to come to light, and the health impact of medical
malpractice may not be apparent for an extended period. In these cases, the
statute of limitation starts upon discovery of the causative misdiagnosis or
incident.
Examples of civil statutes of limitations in Texas include 2 years for wrongful
death, personal injury, and medical malpractice cases. Product liability cases have
a 2 to 15 year time frame, while theft and robbery have a 5-year statute of
limitations. There is no such limitation in place for cases involving human
trafficking, homicide, and specific sexual assaults.
