Common Texas Deadlines

Statute of limitations: personal injury and wrongful death
A suit for personal injury must be filed within two years from the day of the injury. A suit for wrongful death must be filed within two years from the day of the death. If the last day of the period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a holiday on which the county offices are closed, the deadline extends to the next day the county offices are open for business.
