A personal injury suit generally must be filed within two years of when the claim accrues, usually the injury, and time while the injured person is under 18 generally doesn't count, except in health care claims. A claim against a governmental unit generally needs notice within six months, or a city charter's own period. A divorce needs either spouse to have lived in Texas six months and in the filing county 90 days. A contingent fee contract must be written and signed. In an injury case, a claimant found more than 50 percent responsible can't recover damages, and smaller shares reduce the award. Ask your attorney which Brazoria County court will hear the case and where it will be filed.

No attorney can promise an outcome; confirm your situation with a licensed Texas lawyer. See the Texas attorney guide and the Freeport guide.
