Intentional Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress Statute Of Limitations in Texas

For a claim of intentional negligent infliction of emotional distress in Texas, the statute of limitations is governed by Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003. This statute establishes a two-year limitations period for filing suit. The clock begins on the date the alleged emotional injury occurred or, in some circumstances, when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the distress caused by the defendant’s conduct. The official source provides the exact statutory language and any applicable exceptions that may alter the filing deadline. The worked example below illustrates how the two-year period applies to a typical factual scenario.
