How We Prove Liability

Malicious prosecution claims require proving four elements, that the prosecution was initiated without probable cause, that it was motivated by malice or an improper purpose, that it terminated in the plaintiff favor, and that the plaintiff suffered damages as a result. Body camera footage, internal communications, and evidence of the officer or prosecutor knowledge of the facts at the time charges were filed are essential to proving these elements. When officers provide false information in arrest affidavits or suppress exculpatory evidence, liability becomes stronger.

Texas Legal Framework

Malicious prosecution is recognized as both a state common law tort in Texas and a Fourth Amendment violation actionable under 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 following the Supreme Court decision in Thompson v. Clark. The Texas two year statute of limitations begins when the criminal proceeding terminates in the plaintiff favor. Texas courts require that the plaintiff demonstrate the prosecution lacked probable cause and was motivated by malice, which can be inferred from the circumstances under Texas common law.
