Texas has a strict two-year statute of limitations that applies to health care liability claims. Also, the clock starts running on the date of the negligent conduct, not when the injury or death occurs, which is frequently later. Therefore, I advise you not to delay even one more day before consulting a lawyer!
I recommend that you very promptly contact a medical malpractice plaintiffs' lawyer who practices in your area. For help with your search, please follow the link below to the website of the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. The specialty for you to search is Personal Injury Trial. The list of names you find will include both plaintiffs' and defense lawyers. To learn which ones are plaintiffs' lawyers who prosecute medical malpractice cases, you'll need to visit the websites of the listed lawyers.
Good luck.
