🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Garza County
On November 21, 2025, we filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from hazing.
This is what happened to our client:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he couldn’t stand
- Struck with wooden paddles
- Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to continue running
- Another pledge collapsed and lost consciousness — they kept going
- Ended up in the hospital for 4 days with kidney failure
This wasn’t an accident. This was torture.
The same fraternities operate near Garza County.
The same negligence exists at Garza County institutions.
The same abuse could be happening to your child right now.
⚖️ Garza County Hazing Victims Have Legal Rights
You can sue for:
- Medical bills — hospital stays, therapy, future treatment
- Pain and suffering — physical and emotional trauma
- Punitive damages — to punish the organization and prevent future abuse
- Wrongful death — if hazing took your child’s life
Texas law is on your side:
- Hazing is illegal — Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157
- “Consent is not a defense” — even if your child “agreed” to participate
- Universities and national organizations are liable for failing to protect students
🏛️ Who Can Be Held Responsible in Garza County?
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise; knew about “hazing crisis” |
| University | Failed to protect students; premises liability |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed activities |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing |
| Alumni/Hosts | Allowed hazing at their property |
We know how to find the money. National fraternities and universities have millions in assets and insurance. We will pursue every liable party.
💰 Multi-Million Dollar Precedents — This Is What Hazing Costs
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 million settlement |
| Maxwell Gruver | Louisiana State | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ million settlement |
| Andrew Coffey | Florida State | Pi Kappa Phi | Confidential settlement |
| Leonel Bermudez | University of Houston | Pi Kappa Phi | $10 million lawsuit pending |
These same results are possible for Garza County families.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Garza County Families
Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to sue. Should we still talk to a lawyer?
A: Yes. Even if you don’t pursue a lawsuit, a lawyer can:
- Advise you on your rights
- Help preserve evidence
- Guide you through university reporting processes
- Protect your child from retaliation
- Ensure medical treatment is documented
Q: Can we sue if the hazing happened off-campus?
A: Yes. Texas law covers hazing that occurs on or off campus. Many hazing incidents happen at private residences, fraternity houses, or rented facilities.
Q: What if my child was drinking or participated in the hazing?
A: Consent is not a defense in Texas. Even if your child participated, the organization can still be held liable for injuries caused by hazing. The law explicitly states that consent does not matter.
Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit in Garza County?
A: In Texas, you generally have 2 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, you should contact an attorney immediately — evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights can be affected.
Q: How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer?
A: At Attorney 911, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means:
- $0 upfront cost
- We don’t get paid unless you win
- Our fee is a percentage of your recovery
- If we don’t win, you owe us nothing
Q: Can you help if the hazing happened at a school outside of Garza County?
A: Yes. We represent hazing victims nationwide. Our federal court authority and dual-state bar admission allow us to pursue cases anywhere in America.
Q: What if the fraternity or university offers us money to stay quiet?
A: Do not accept any settlement or sign any documents without consulting an attorney. These offers are often far below what your case is worth. We will negotiate on your behalf to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Q: Can we still sue if the fraternity was already suspended?
A: Yes. Suspension or closure of a chapter does not prevent you from pursuing legal action. In fact, it may demonstrate the organization’s consciousness of wrongdoing.
Q: What if my child is afraid of retaliation?
A: We understand. Many hazing victims fear retribution. We will:
- Protect your privacy
- Handle all communications with the organization
- Advise you on how to document any retaliation
- Pursue legal action if retaliation occurs
Q: Can we sue for psychological trauma even if there were no physical injuries?
A: Yes. Hazing often causes severe psychological harm including:
- PTSD
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Suicidal ideation
- Loss of trust
- Academic decline
We can pursue compensation for emotional distress, therapy costs, and pain and suffering.
