If you or someone you love has experienced sexual abuse in Austin, Texas, you deserve support, justice, and a path toward healing. Survivors of both child and adult sexual abuse often carry emotional trauma that lasts for years—if not a lifetime. Taking legal action can be a powerful step toward recovery, closure, and accountability.
Our Austin-based sexual abuse lawyers are experienced in representing survivors with compassion and discretion. We understand how difficult it is to come forward, especially when the abuse occurred at the hands of someone in a position of power or trust—such as a teacher, coach, clergy member, doctor, or family member.
Sexual abuse can happen anywhere—schools, places of worship, medical facilities, group homes, foster care, or in private residences. In many cases, institutions were negligent in protecting victims, either ignoring warning signs or actively covering up the abuse. That’s why Texas law allows survivors not only to file lawsuits against individual perpetrators but also to hold organizations legally accountable for enabling or concealing abuse.
In Austin, survivors can file civil lawsuits to pursue financial compensation for therapy, medical expenses, emotional distress, loss of income, and other damages. In egregious cases, punitive damages may also be available to punish and deter future misconduct.
Importantly, Texas has expanded the statute of limitations for child sexual abuse cases, meaning survivors have more time to pursue justice. Still, legal timelines can vary, and delays may impact your ability to file a strong claim—so it's crucial to consult an attorney as soon as you're ready.
Our law firm offers confidential consultations, free of charge. We handle cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you owe us nothing unless we successfully recover compensation for you. From the moment you contact us, we will treat your story with dignity, protect your privacy, and work relentlessly to hold abusers and negligent parties accountable.
You are not alone. Justice and healing are possible, and we’re here to walk that path with you.
