To ensure that relevant evidence is still available and prospective defendants do not have to spend years with the threat of a possible lawsuit hanging over their heads, Texas state law has “statutes of limitations” that set deadlines for various types of legal proceedings. With very few exceptions, someone who fails to begin a legal proceeding before the applicable deadline...
While Colleyville may not be a haven for pedestrians in the same way that more tightly constrained urban areas sometimes are, there are still plenty of places in this area where traveling on foot is more practical and potentially even more enjoyable than biking or driving.

While civil litigation against the people at fault for a wreck like this can help mitigate the negative impact of your...
