About Bivona Law PLLC — Civil Rights Houston, Texas
Bivona Law PLLC pursues civil rights Houston children and injury victims depend on when institutions fail to protect those in their care. Attorney Drew Bivona — known as “The Voice for Kids” — focuses on injury and rights claims for children and adults harmed in accidents, at school, in daycare facilities, and in other settings where a duty of care exists in Harris County and across Texas. The firm’s practice reflects a commitment to accountability when vulnerable individuals are injured by institutional negligence or deliberate misconduct.
Child civil rights claims occupy a significant portion of the firm’s work. Cases involving special education law, school injuries, and abuse in care settings often involve ADA rights, Section 504 protections, and constitutional due process claims. Bivona Law handles these matters alongside traditional personal injury cases — auto accidents, workplace injuries, premises liability, and products liability — bringing the same advocacy approach to every client regardless of the scale of the case.

Frequently Asked Questions
What civil rights protections apply to children with disabilities in Houston schools?
Children with disabilities in Texas public schools are protected by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. When a Houston-area school district fails to provide a free appropriate public education or discriminates based on disability, parents may file complaints with the Texas Education Agency and pursue civil rights claims in federal court.
Can I sue a Houston daycare or school for injuries to my child?
Yes. If a daycare, school, or care facility in Harris County failed to provide a reasonably safe environment and your child was injured as a result, you may have claims for negligence and, in some cases, civil rights violations. Cases involving abuse by staff at government-operated facilities may also support Section 1983 claims in the Southern District of Texas.
How long do I have to file a child injury civil rights claim in Texas?
Texas tolls — pauses — the statute of limitations for most civil claims while the injured party is a minor. The two-year limitations period for personal injury and civil rights claims typically begins when the child turns 18. However, some exceptions apply, and early action allows evidence to be preserved, so consulting an attorney promptly is always advisable.
