Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
According to Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code § 71.004, some surviving family members have the right to file a wrongful death claim. Typically, the family members who can file a wrongful death claim include:
- Spouses
- Children
- Parents
If the spouse, children, or parents do not sue for wrongful death within three months, the executor or personal representative of the estate may file the claim. Although, if the spouse, children, and parents request a wrongful death claim not be filed, the courts will respect that decision.

How Much Time You Have To File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 16.003 states you have two years from the date of the cause of action to file a lawsuit.
