Hiring a lawyer in Dallas: what is different

The limitation period is two years from the day the claim accrues, under section 16.003 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and that is a year shorter than New York gives. The deadline that catches people is the other one. A claim against a governmental unit needs notice within six months under section 101.101 of the Tort Claims Act, and the City of Dallas requires the same six months in writing under its own charter, saying when, where and how the injury happened. A bus, a city truck, a pothole or a county hospital all sit behind that rule.

Dallas County runs one of the largest civil court systems in the country, with multiple district courts hearing injury cases and county courts at law below them, all at the George Allen Courts Building downtown. Federal matters go to the Northern District of Texas. This is also the most advertised legal market in this directory by a distance, which is worth knowing when you compare: the firm with the most billboards is not a measurement of anything, and it is the reason this site exists.

What lawyers cost in Dallas

Injury work is done on contingency and Texas does not cap the share by statute the way New York does for injury matters, so the percentage is genuinely negotiable and genuinely varies. That makes the two questions on our fees guide worth more here than anywhere else we cover: what the percentage is, and whether case expenses come out before or after the fee is worked out. Ask both, and get the answer in the agreement rather than on the phone.

Deadlines that catch Texans out

  • Personal injury: two years from the day the claim accrues, under Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003.
  • Any claim against the City of Dallas, the county, DART or a public hospital: written notice within six months, under Tort Claims Act § 101.101 and the city charter.
  • Wrongful death: two years, and the clock runs from the death rather than from the injury that caused it.
Frequently asked

Hiring a law firm in Dallas: FAQ

How do I check if a Texas lawyer is licensed?
The State Bar of Texas publishes a Find a Lawyer directory at texasbar.com, free to search, showing bar number, admission date and public disciplinary history. We do not read it: it refuses our requests, so Texas profiles carry no licence finding rather than one we did not make. New York publishes the same information as open data, which is why New York profiles do carry it.
Why do so many Dallas firms advertise so heavily?
Because it works, and because nothing stops it. Advertising spend is not evidence about a practice, and it is not in this directory’s score at any weight: the measurements are licensure, discipline, what a firm publishes about its own results, client reviews it did not collect through us, and the quality of its own site. A firm can be excellent and loud, or excellent and invisible. We measure the same things either way.
Should I hire a firm in Dallas itself?
Dallas County is where most of these cases are heard, and a firm in Plano or Irving appears there constantly. The metro is one legal market rather than several. What matters is regular practice in the court that will hear your case, which for a serious injury claim usually means a Dallas County district court.
