Mass Tort Lawsuits in Texas
TXA guide for Texas residents researching major mass tort and injury lawsuits: each case's current status, how Texas filing deadlines work, the federal courts involved, and links to Texas-specific guides for each case. Status varies by case — some remain in active intake, while others (such as Camp Lejeune Justice Act claims) have closed filing windows, as each guide notes.

How long do Texas residents have to file a lawsuit?
Texas's general personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003). Product liability and toxic exposure claims do not always follow the general rule, so the deadline that controls a specific case can be shorter or longer.
- General personal injury period: 2 years — Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003.
- Discovery rule: Texas recognizes a discovery rule in limited circumstances involving inherently undiscoverable injuries.
- Statute of repose: Texas applies a 15-year statute of repose to many product liability claims (§ 16.012).
Because the controlling deadline depends on diagnosis date, discovery facts, exposure history, and how a claim is filed, only a licensed attorney can confirm the deadline for a specific situation. Federal multidistrict litigation can also change where and how a Texas claim proceeds.
Which federal courts handle Texas mass tort cases?
Mass tort claims by Texas residents are frequently filed in federal court and transferred into multidistrict litigation in other districts. The federal district courts covering Texas are:
- Northern District of Texas
- Southern District of Texas
- Eastern District of Texas
- Western District of Texas
Living in Texas does not mean a case is filed only in Texas. Many claims are coordinated nationally, but Texas law can still affect deadlines, damages, and wrongful-death rules.

How long do Texas residents have to file an injury lawsuit?
Texas's general personal injury statute of limitations is 2 years (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003).

Not necessarily. Many mass tort claims are filed in federal court and transferred into multidistrict litigation, or evaluated by national firms. Living in Texas does not mean a claim is limited to Texas state court, though Texas law can still affect deadlines and damages.
