Your Legal Rights After a Wrongful Death in Texas

Under the Texas Wrongful Death Act (Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 71.002), certain family members such as a spouse, child, or parent can file a claim when a loved one’s death is caused by negligence or misconduct.

If family members don’t act within three months, the estate’s executor may file unless the family requests otherwise. Texas also allows survival claims, which cover the pain and damages the deceased suffered before passing. These laws are designed to ensure families get both justice and financial support.
