The statute of limitations on personal injury cases in Texas is 2 years. There is an exception for minors. The statute of limitations for injuries occurring to minors begins to run on their 18th birthday and would expire on their 20th birthday. Based on the facts as stated in your question, the SOL has not expired on the minors claim if he is 19 years old now for an injury that occurred when he was 11. Good luck
