Frequently Asked Questions
What civil litigation courts serve Houston and Harris County?
Civil litigation in Houston is handled primarily by the Harris County District Courts and the Harris County Courts at Law, both located at the Harris County Civil Courthouse at 201 Caroline Street. Federal civil rights claims are filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, at 515 Rusk Street.
Can a family law dispute involve civil rights issues in Texas?
Yes. Cases involving parental rights termination, child custody disputes where a parent’s religion or lifestyle is at issue, and domestic violence protective orders can all implicate constitutional rights. Texas courts must balance the state’s interest in child welfare with parents’ fundamental due process rights recognized under the Fourteenth Amendment.
What is the statute of limitations for civil litigation claims in Texas?
The limitations period varies by claim type. Most civil rights claims under Section 1983 carry a two-year limit. Contract disputes are typically four years. Injury claims are generally two years. Texas courts enforce these deadlines strictly — filing even one day late can result in dismissal of your case.
