Unjust Enrichment Restitution Statute Of Limitations in Texas

The Texas statute of limitations for an unjust enrichment restitution claim is governed by Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.003, which establishes a two-year limitations period. This statute applies to suits for recovery of personal property or for debt, including restitution-based claims sounding in equity. The two-year period generally begins to run when the plaintiff knew or should have known of the wrongful deprivation giving rise to the restitution demand. The official source at https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.16.htm#16.003 provides the exact statutory language and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below illustrates how this two-year period is calculated under the statute. To estimate the limitations deadline for a specific set of facts, users should consult the calculator.
