Sure, here is some information about Texas auto negligence law.
Texas is a modified comparative negligence state. This means that if you are injured in an accident, you can still recover damages from the at-fault driver even if you were partially at fault for the accident. However, the amount of your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, let's say that you are in a car accident and you are found to be 25% at fault for the accident. If your damages are $100,000, you will only be able to recover $75,000 from the at-fault driver.
There is a 51% bar in Texas. This means that if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you will not be able to recover any damages from the at-fault driver.
Here are some of the factors that a court will consider when determining fault in an auto accident:
The speed of the vehicles involved
The condition of the road
The weather conditions
The actions of the drivers
The testimony of witnesses
If you have been injured in an auto accident, you should consult with an attorney to discuss your legal rights. An attorney can help you understand the law and can represent you in a lawsuit, if necessary.
Here are some additional information about Texas auto negligence law:
The statute of limitations for auto negligence claims in Texas is two years. This means that you must file your lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident.
If you are injured in an auto accident, you should take the following steps to protect your legal rights:
Get medical attention immediately.
Obtain the names and contact information of all witnesses to the accident.
Take pictures of the accident scene.
File a police report.
If you have been injured in an auto accident, you should not hesitate to seek legal assistance. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and can represent you in a lawsuit, if necessary.

07/24/2023 16 ELECTRONIC ORDER: The Clerk of Court opened this miscellaneous case when Movant Rocky Mountain Express Corporation d/b/a RMX Global Logistics (RMX) filed a Motion to Quash and for Protective Order (ECF No. 1 ) seeking to quash the deposition notice to RMX's General Counsel Jonathan C. Scott. Following a hearing on the Motion, the Court granted RMX the relief requested. Disc. Order (ECF No. 12 ). Now, in light of new developments, RMX "acknowledges that a deposition of Scott may be appropriate." Accordingly, RMX seeks to dismiss "the[se] proceedings" under Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i)--which it believes would "ha[ve] the effect of rendering all proceedings before this Court a nullity, including the Court's June 21 Discovery Order and the Joint Report submitted by the parties." In the alternative, RMX asks Court to vacate or amend the June 21 Discovery Order to permit Scott's deposition. Respondents oppose RMX's motion on various grounds, including that the motion is unnecessary. The Court agrees that RMX's Motion is unnecessary and DENIES it as such. If Respondents notice Scott's deposition and RMX agrees to produce him, RMX need not seek to enforce the Protective Order.
