Texas law — what Brazos Valley clients should know

Two-year statute of limitations

§16.003 gives you two years for most personal injury and wrongful death claims.

Texas Tort Claims Act

Claims against Texas A&M, the City of College Station, the City of Bryan, or Brazos County have notice deadlines as short as six months. Call early.

Modified comparative fault

Under §33.001, you can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault.

Common questions from College Station and Bryan clients

Does Patterson Law Group have an office in College Station or Bryan?

The initial consultation is by phone or Zoom — at no cost — and our attorneys travel to Brazos County for depositions, mediations, court hearings, and trial.

Do you handle cases for Texas A&M students and faculty?

Yes. We handle personal injury cases for students, faculty, staff, and their families. Campus and student-housing slip-and-fall cases, off-campus apartment-complex premises liability, rideshare crashes on game weekends, and student-driver MVA cases are all part of the work. Cases against TAMU as a governmental entity have a six-month notice deadline under the Texas Tort Claims Act — call early.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Texas?

Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code §16.003 sets a two-year statute of limitations for most personal injury and wrongful death cases. Claims against governmental entities (City of College Station, City of Bryan, Brazos County, Texas A&M) can have notice deadlines as short as six months.

How much does a College Station personal injury lawyer cost?

Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee — our fee comes out of the settlement or verdict, not your pocket.

What is my Brazos Valley case worth?

It depends on the severity of injuries, the medical bills, lost income, and the available insurance coverage. Commercial trucking cases on SH-6 and SH-21 often carry larger liability policies. Catastrophic injury cases involving student housing or campus-area premises routinely involve multi-million-dollar policies.

Where will my case be heard if it goes to court?

Civil personal injury cases in Brazos County are heard at the Brazos County Courthouse, 300 E 26th Street, Bryan. The 85th, 272nd, and 361st District Courts handle the civil docket.

What if the at-fault driver does not have insurance?

You may still be covered through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. We work UM/UIM claims constantly.
