Houston personal injury cases are filed in the Harris County Civil Courthouse. Harris County is one of the largest civil court systems in the country and Houston juries are diverse and moderate to plaintiff-friendly. The I-10 / I-45 / I-69 / I-610 corridors carry massive freight volume to and from the Port of Houston, generating significant truck accident case volume. The City of Houston requires a 90-day notice of claim under its municipal charter — shorter than the Texas Tort Claims Act default — for claims against the City.
