🚨 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Falls County

In November 2025, our attorneys filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from hazing. The abuse included:

✅ Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✅ Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
✅ Struck with wooden paddles
✅ Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
✅ Another pledge lost consciousness during hazing—they kept going
✅ Hog-tied a pledge face-down on a table with an object in his mouth

This wasn’t an accident. It was systematic torture.

And here’s the truth: The same fraternities operate at universities near Falls County. The same culture of abuse exists in our community. The same negligence from universities and national organizations allows it to continue.

If your child was hazed in Falls County, we will fight for you with the same fury we’re bringing to the Houston case.

⚖️ Falls County Hazing Laws: Your Legal Rights

Texas has some of the strongest anti-hazing laws in the country. Under Texas Education Code § 37.151, hazing includes:

• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
• Sleep deprivation
• Exposure to extreme weather

• Any activity that endangers mental or physical health

Important: Consent is NOT a defense in Texas.
