🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Austin County, TX – What Parents Need to Know

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless tradition.” It’s abuse. It’s assault. It’s often criminal.

And it’s happening right here in Austin County.

🚨 Hazing Happens at Austin County Universities & Colleges

Austin County is home to families who send their children to major universities where Greek life thrives, including:

• Blinn College (Brenham campus)
• Texas A&M University (College Station – just north of Austin County)
• University of Houston (where we’re currently litigating a $10M hazing case)
• Sam Houston State University (Huntsville)
• Prairie View A&M University
• Private colleges throughout the region

The same national fraternities involved in hazing deaths nationwide – Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others – have active chapters at universities near Austin County.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in the Austin County area, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

💔 What Hazing Looks Like in Austin County

Hazing isn’t just about drinking games. In our current case, a University of Houston fraternity pledge was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning – a form of torture)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to continue exercising
• Hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth (another pledge)
• Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure

This isn’t just hazing. This is assault. This is battery. This is torture.

And it’s happening at universities near Austin County, TX.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as an Austin County Hazing Victim

Texas law is clear: Hazing is illegal. Consent is NOT a defense.

Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157 – Anti-Hazing Law

• Hazing is a crime – punishable by jail time, fines, and organizational penalties
• Consent is not a defense – even if your child “agreed” to participate, it doesn’t matter
• Universities can be held liable – for failing to protect students
• National fraternities/sororities can be sued – for failing to supervise chapters

Civil Lawsuits for Austin County Hazing Victims

You can sue for:
✅ Medical expenses (hospital bills, therapy, future treatment)
✅ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
✅ Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
✅ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hazing in Austin County

Q: My child “consented” to hazing. Can we still sue?

A: YES. Under Texas law, consent is NOT a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the fraternity and university can still be held liable.

Q: The fraternity says this was just “tradition.” Is that a defense?

A: NO. “Tradition” doesn’t make illegal activity legal. Waterboarding, forced exercise, and physical abuse are not “tradition” – they’re crimes.

Q: We’re in Austin County. Can you still help us if the hazing happened elsewhere?

A: ABSOLUTELY. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Austin County. We offer:

• Video consultations for Austin County families
• Travel to Austin County for meetings and depositions
• Federal court authority to sue anywhere in America

Q: How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer in Austin County?

A: $0 upfront. We work on contingency – you pay nothing unless we win your case.

Q: What if the hazing happened at a private university near Austin County?

A: We can still sue. Private universities have the same duty to protect students. We’ve sued both public and private institutions.

Q: Can we sue the national fraternity, or just the local chapter?

A: BOTH. National fraternities/sororities have deep pockets and insurance policies that can pay significant settlements. We sue:

• The local chapter
• The national organization
• The university
• Individual members

Q: What if my child was hazed but not physically injured?

A: You may still have a case. Hazing causes psychological trauma, including:

• PTSD
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Suicidal ideation
• Loss of trust
• Academic decline

These damages are compensable in a lawsuit.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit in Austin County?

A: 2 years from the date of injury (Texas statute of limitations). Do not wait – evidence disappears, and your rights expire.
