Accident & Injury Lawyer in Hondo, Texas
The Medina County seat — the hospital and the courthouse are both here. More than 30 years serving South Texas families.
Hondo has a sign at the edge of town that reads *"This is God's Country, Don't Drive Through It Like Hell."* It has been there for decades, and it exists for a reason: US-90 runs straight through the middle of town, carrying traffic between Del Rio and San Antonio, and drivers arrive at highway speed.
Hondo matters beyond its own city limits. The Medina County courthouse is here, and so is Medina Regional Hospital — the emergency room that receives injured people from Devine, Natalia, Castroville and the surrounding farm roads. If you were hurt anywhere in this county, your treatment and your lawsuit both run through Hondo.
We handle Medina County cases from our Eagle Pass office and we come to you. Bilingual team, no fee unless we win, and your immigration status does not affect your right to file a claim.
Where crashes happen around Hondo
In a town split by a US highway, the risk is concentrated along one line:
Through traffic decelerating from open-highway speed into a town with cross streets, driveways and traffic lights. Rear-end and intersection collisions here are the most frequent serious crashes.
Where the east-west highway crosses the north-south route toward Devine and Bandera. Two streams of traffic that each think they have the main road.
Two-lane highway with farm entrances and no turn lanes. Trucks and equipment slowing to leave the highway is the classic setup for a rear-end crash at speed.
Narrow roads carrying grain trucks, equipment and commuters. No shoulders and no lighting, and passing is where head-on crashes begin.
The rail line runs parallel to US-90 through Hondo. Crossings where a vehicle has to stop on or near the highway create a hazard that a following driver does not expect.
Cases we handle in Hondo
Head-on, rear-end and intersection collisions at highway speed. Fault is often contested, so we work the scene evidence rather than accepting the other driver's account.
US-90 is a working freight route. Federal safety rules, driver logs and electronic data apply, and much of it can be legally overwritten within weeks.
Equipment injuries, falls and vehicle strikes on farms and job sites. If a company other than your employer caused it, you may have a third-party claim worth far more than workers' compensation alone.
Everyday collisions in town and on the county roads. We handle the insurance company so you can focus on getting better.
Beyond the criminal case, you have a separate civil claim — and in Texas the bar that overserved the driver may share responsibility.
Highway crashes are the ones most likely to take a life. Texas allows the spouse, children and parents to file.
What to do after a crash near Hondo
You have an advantage here that smaller towns in this county don't: the hospital is in town. Use it the same day.
- 1Call 911. Hondo PD covers the city, the Medina County Sheriff's Office the county and farm roads, and Texas DPS works US-90.
- 2Go to Medina Regional Hospital the same day, even if you feel fine. It's right here in Hondo. A gap in treatment is the first thing the insurance company uses against you.
- 3Photograph the road, not just the cars — skid marks, final positions, where the shoulder drops off. On a two-lane highway that's how fault gets proven.
- 4If a truck is involved, get the company name and USDOT number off the door. That number identifies who really owns and insures it.
- 5Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer before you've seen a doctor and know how hurt you are.
- 6Call us. We come to Hondo, and the consultation is free.

Frequently asked questions
Do you take cases in Hondo?+
Yes. Hondo and all of Medina County are part of our service area, and we'll come to you — you don't have to drive to Eagle Pass.
Isn't it better to hire a lawyer in San Antonio since it's closer?+
What matters is who handles your case personally and how fast they move on evidence. We travel to you, we work in Spanish and English, and your case doesn't get passed to a case manager you never meet.
I was hurt in Devine but treated in Hondo. Where does my case go?+
Both towns are in Medina County, so the lawsuit is filed at the Hondo courthouse either way. Where you were treated doesn't change that — but your medical records from that hospital become the core of your claim.
I don't have papers. Can I still file a claim?+
Yes. In Texas anyone injured by another's negligence can seek compensation regardless of immigration status, and your status is protected by attorney-client privilege.
How long do I have to file?+
Generally two years from the date of the accident in Texas. But physical evidence and truck records disappear much sooner, so calling early protects proof you can't get back.
