🚨 Hazing Victims in Gaines County, Texas: You Deserve Justice
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Gaines County, you are not alone. We are fighting this battle right now — and we will fight for Gaines County families with the same fury.
This Happened in Houston. It Could Happen in Gaines County.
On November 21, 2025, our attorneys filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a young man was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure during hazing.
This wasn’t an accident. This was torture disguised as tradition. And it happens at universities near Gaines County every year.
The same fraternities. The same “traditions.” The same negligence.
📍 Hazing in Gaines County, Texas: What You Need to Know
Gaines County is home to hardworking families who send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But the reality is:

- Gaines County parents deserve the same aggressive representation we provide in Houston.
If your child was hazed at Texas Tech, West Texas A&M, or any university near Gaines County, we can help.
💔 What Hazing Really Looks Like
Our client was subjected to:
✅ Waterboarding with a garden hose — simulated drowning as punishment
✅ Forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, and bear crawls until he collapsed
✅ Struck with wooden paddles — physical abuse as “discipline”
✅ Forced to eat until vomiting — then forced to keep running
✅ Sleep deprivation — forced to drive fraternity members at all hours
✅ Psychological torture — threats of expulsion, humiliation, degradation
This isn’t “brotherhood.” This is abuse. And it happens at Gaines County-area universities too.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Gaines County?
When hazing happens, everyone who allowed it is responsible:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing risks but failed to prevent |
| University | Had power to stop it but didn’t |
| Individual Members | Participated in or allowed the abuse |
| House Corporations | Owned property where hazing occurred |
We sue them ALL.
💰 Hazing Cases Win MILLIONS — Gaines County Victims Can Too
We’ve seen it before:
- $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Pi Kappa Alpha, Bowling Green State)
- $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (Phi Delta Theta, LSU)
- $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Beta Theta Pi, Penn State)
Our $10 million demand is in line with these verdicts. Gaines County families deserve the same justice.
⚖️ Texas Law Protects Hazing Victims
Under Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157:
✅ Hazing is ILLEGAL — no matter what the organization calls it
✅ Consent is NOT a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate
✅ Organizations can be fined up to $10,000 for condoning hazing
✅ Individuals face CRIMINAL charges (up to 1 year in jail for serious injury)
Universities and fraternities near Gaines County cannot hide behind “tradition.” They will be held accountable.
🚨 What Gaines County Families Should Do NOW
If your child was hazed:
- Get medical attention immediately — even if injuries seem minor
- Preserve ALL evidence — texts, photos, videos, witness names
- Do NOT talk to the fraternity, university, or insurance companies — they will try to minimize your claim
- Do NOT post on social media — anything you say can be used against you
