Texas Product Liability Law Overview

Product liability law in Houston protects consumers from harm caused by defective or dangerous products. Under Texas law, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be held liable for injuries caused by products that are unreasonably dangerous or defective in their design, manufacturing, or marketing. This legal framework ensures that companies are accountable for the safety of their products.

What Are the Three Types of Product Defects in Houston?

Houston recognizes three main categories of product defects that can lead to liability claims:

Design Defects

Design defects occur when a product’s design is inherently unsafe, making it dangerous for consumers to use as intended. Design defects exist before manufacturing begins and affect all products made according to that design.

Manufacturing Defects

Manufacturing defects occur during the production process, resulting in a product that deviates from its intended design and poses danger to consumers. These defects typically affect only a portion of products in a production run.

Marketing Defects (Failure to Warn)

Marketing defects occur when a product lacks proper warnings or instructions for safe use. Companies must provide adequate warnings about known risks and proper usage instructions.

Legal Theories for Product Liability Claims in Houston

Negligence

Negligence requires proving that the manufacturer or seller failed to exercise reasonable care in the design, manufacture, or sale of the product. The plaintiff must demonstrate:

• Duty of Care: The defendant had a duty to provide a safe product
• Breach of Duty: The defendant breached this duty through act or omission
• Causation: The breach directly caused the plaintiff’s injury
• Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual, quantifiable damages

Strict Liability

Strict liability does not require proving the manufacturer or seller was careless—if the product is defective and causes injury while being used as intended, the manufacturer or seller can be held liable. This legal theory focuses on the product’s condition rather than the defendant’s conduct.

Breach of Warranty

Warranty claims can be based on express warranties (specific promises made by the seller) or implied warranties:

• Implied Warranty of Merchantability: The product is fit for its general purpose
• Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose: The product is suitable for a specific use known to the seller

Texas Product Liability Statute of Limitations

In Texas, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is two years from the date of injury. This deadline is crucial—filing after this period typically results in case dismissal, regardless of the claim’s merits.

Discovery Rule Exception

The discovery rule may apply when injuries aren’t immediately apparent, starting the two-year clock when the plaintiff discovers or should have reasonably discovered the harm.
