Suing Texas Government Entity

Summary

You can sue a Texas government entity under specific conditions such as negligence, breach of contract, or civil rights violations. The Texas Tort Claims Act outlines the process, and you must often file a notice of claim before proceeding. If misled by a state entity causing financial or personal harm, legal action may be possible. The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) is obligated to provide services, and failure to do so may warrant legal recourse. If experiencing issues with TWC, consider consulting a local attorney for guidance.
