Attorneys in Santa Fe

The Houston Lawyer Referral Service refers callers in Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Brazoria and Galveston counties to screened private attorneys. The State Bar's own service, (800) 252-9690, sets up a consultation of up to 30 minutes for no more than $20. TexasLawHelp.org has free guides and a legal aid directory.

The State Bar reported a median hourly rate of $377 in the Houston metro in 2025. Ask for the fee arrangement in writing; a contingent fee contract must be written and signed by both of you.

Look the attorney up in the State Bar's Find a Lawyer directory and check disciplinary history. "Board Certified" means certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization or a body it accredits.

Texas injury suits generally must be filed within two years after the claim accrues. Time while the injured person is under 18 generally doesn't count, though health care claims have their own rule, and a claim against a city or other government needs notice within six months or the city charter's period. Lawyers generally can't send written accident solicitations before the 31st day after an accident, and in-person or live-phone solicitation is generally forbidden, so treat an unrequested call as a warning sign.

This is general information; confirm the deadlines in your case with a licensed Texas attorney.
