Bullying in schools is commonplace today. Significant research shows the profound impact that bullying can have on an individual. In some cases, the bullying can prove so intense that the victim feels the only way out is through suicide or self-harm. If your child is being bullied, you need to speak to an attorney about your rights.
If you suspect that your child is being bullied at school, you need to report it immediately. In many cases, a school or other institution cannot be held liable if they do not know about the bullying. However, if you can prove that they knew about the bullying and failed to take action causing harm to your child, you may have a valid case.
Texas Education Code Section 37.0832(a) defines bullying as an act or pattern of acts by one or more students towards another student that exploits an imbalance of power. It usually involves written or verbal communication, including electronic transmissions.
Cyberbullying is also defined by Texas law as bullying done through an electronic communication device. It may occur through the use of a phone, computer, website, electronic mail, instant messaging, or app.
You may be unaware that your child is being bullied until something shocking happens. The signs of bullying and cyberbullying may not be obvious, but constant and open communication can help to ensure that you do not miss anything.
Signs of bullying may include but are not limited to:
It is important to know that anti-bullying laws in the state cover both on- and off-campus activities if the off-campus activity is school-sponsored or school-related. If you suspect that your child is being bullied while at school, you need to take action as soon as possible.
If your child is being bullied at a Texas school, you need to take immediate action. You should always report suspicions of bullying. A school must take action to stop the bullying and make it a safe space for all students. If the school knows of a bully’s conduct and fails to act, they may be held liable for resulting damages.
Bullying may not result in physical harm, but it can result in serious emotional trauma. Whether your child suffered physical or emotional trauma, you still should speak with an attorney. An attorney can help determine whether you have legal grounds to file a lawsuit.
Parents who suspect that their child is being bullied at or away from school need to act. A child who is bullied may resort to self-harm, including suicide attempts. Bullying can also do long-lasting harm. The rise of social media has made bullying even more prevalent, with the added benefit of anonymity on some platforms.
Failing to act on signs or suspicions of bullying can result in additional harm. Stopping the bullying as early as possible is often critical to ensuring it does not continue or get worse. Children who are bullied may become depressed, fearful, and at an increased risk for suicide-related behavior.

Yes, Texas has a statute of limitations for child injury cases. Generally, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of a child.

In Texas, you can seek compensation for various damages, including medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, future medical costs, and loss of earning capacity if applicable. An experienced attorney can help you determine the specific damages relevant to your child's injury.
