Disproportionate stops and searches of minority individuals in certain neighborhoods

Psychological harm including anxiety and distrust of law enforcement
Damage to community standing and personal dignity
Ongoing fear and changed behavior to avoid police encounters

How We Prove Liability

Racial profiling claims are brought under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment through 42 U.S.C. Section 1983. Proving discriminatory intent requires statistical evidence of disproportionate enforcement, comparison to similarly situated individuals of different races, and evidence of the specific officer pattern of conduct. Department wide data on stops, searches, and arrests broken down by race can establish a pattern or practice of discriminatory policing that supports municipal liability.

Texas Legal Framework

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.131 specifically prohibits racial profiling by Texas peace officers and defines it as a law enforcement initiated action based on race, ethnicity, or national origin rather than individual behavior or specific suspect information. Texas law requires all law enforcement agencies to adopt written policies prohibiting racial profiling and to collect and report traffic stop data under Article 2.132. Violations of the Texas racial profiling statute support both Section 1983 claims and state law claims against officers and departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.

Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
