Divorce filings from Boerne

To file for divorce in Kendall County, either spouse must have lived in Texas for the preceding six months and in the county for the preceding 90 days. A court generally can't grant the divorce until the 60th day after filing, with exceptions for certain family violence cases, and Texas allows no-fault divorce where the marriage has become insupportable.

Injury claims from Boerne

A Texas personal injury suit generally must be filed within two years after the claim accrues, and a wrongful death suit within two years of the death. For someone under 18 when the claim accrues, the years as a minor generally don't count, though health care liability claims follow their own rule.

A claim against a governmental unit carries an earlier step: under the Tort Claims Act it is entitled to notice within six months of the incident, and a city's charter deadline may differ. Confirm any deadline with a licensed Texas lawyer, because exceptions apply.

The State Bar's 2025 survey put the median hourly rate for full-time private practitioners at $368 statewide and $332 in the San Antonio metro; the figures aren't meant to set fees. Injury cases are usually contingent fee cases, and Texas requires that contract in writing, signed by the lawyer and the client, stating how the fee is figured and which expenses come out. The Texas guide is on our lawyers hub.

For a first consultation on a budget, the State Bar's Lawyer Referral & Information Service, (800) 252-9690, refers callers to a lawyer for up to 30 minutes for no more than $20. The San Antonio Bar Association also runs a certified referral service, and TexasLawHelp.org offers free self-help guides.

Search the State Bar's Find a Lawyer directory, filter by board certification if you want a specialist in family law, civil trial law or another area, and review discipline. A lawyer may claim board certification only if the Texas Board of Legal Specialization or an accredited body granted it. Texas ethics rules generally bar lawyers from soliciting new clients in person or by live call, and solicitation mail must be marked as advertising. Written injury and wrongful death solicitations about an accident generally can't be sent before the 31st day after it. If a grievance finds a lawyer stole a client's money or kept an unearned fee, the State Bar's Client Security Fund can repay the client.
