Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Roma, TX?
Two years under Texas § 16.003 of the Civil Practice & Remedies Code. The clock starts on the accident date. Do not wait — evidence disappears, witnesses move, and surveillance footage is overwritten. Call Chris Sanchez immediately.
Where are the most dangerous roads in Roma and Starr County?
US-83 through Roma is a high-traffic corridor that feeds the Roma International Bridge (Roma–Ciudad Miguel Alemán crossing). Bridge approach roads, US-83 merge zones, and the downtown Roma historic district see frequent accidents from heavy commercial and tourist traffic.
Which court handles my personal injury case if I live in Roma?
Roma is in Starr County. Cases are filed in the Starr County District Courts, which sit at the Starr County Courthouse, 401 N. Britton Avenue, Rio Grande City, TX 78582. Chris Sanchez handles cases throughout Starr County.
What if I was hit by a Mexican-registered truck at the Roma crossing?
Cross-border carriers must hold valid FMCSA operating authority and comply with U.S. insurance minimums under 49 C.F.R. Part 387. We identify the carrier’s U.S. agent, their insurer, and the exact scope of the truck’s authorized route. Cross-border truck cases require immediate evidence preservation.
Can I recover if the crash happened on a bridge or federal road?
Yes, but government entity claims have different deadlines. Under the Texas Tort Claims Act, a notice of claim must be filed within six months. If a federal agency is involved, the Federal Tort Claims Act applies with its own procedures. An attorney must evaluate jurisdiction immediately.

Yes. Attorney Chris Sanchez is bilingual (English/Spanish) and represents injury victims throughout Starr County, including Roma, Escobares, and Garciasville. No fee unless we win — (956) 686-4357.
