Demandas por Abuso de Novatadas en Texas: Una Guía Completa para Familias de Rio Bravo Si Su Hijo Fue Víctima de Abuso de Novatadas en una Universidad de Texas, No Está Solo Imagine esto: un estudiante de Rio Bravo, que acaba de comenzar su trayecto universitario en Texas, llega a una casa de fraternidad fuera del campus para lo que le dicen que es un "evento de unión". Lo que comienza como emoción nerviosa rápidamente se convierte en miedo. Se le presiona para beber mucho más allá de sus límites, se le obliga a realizar ejercicios físicos agotadores y se le somete a actos humillantes mientras otros se ríen y graban con sus teléfonos. Cuando colapsa, vomitando y desorientado, comienza un debate en voz baja: "¿Deberíamos llamar al 911? ¿Qué le pasará alcapítulo? ¿Qué hará la universidad?" La salud del estudiante—y potencialmente su vida—depende de esa decisión. Este no es un escenario hipotético. En este momento, en Houston, nuestro bufete está litigando activamente uno de los casos de abuso de novatadas más graves en Texas.

Usted imagina aulas, amistades y crecimiento. No imagina una llamada telefónica en medio de la noche.

En este momento, en Texas, nuestro bufete está lidiando con uno de los casos de novatadas más graves del país. Representamos a Leonel Bermúdez en su demanda de $10 millones contra la Universidad de Houston, el capítulo Beta Nu de la fraternidad Pi Kappa Phi, su sede nacional y 13 miembros individuales.

University Hazing in Texas: A Complete Legal Guide for Families in City of Burton and Washington County If you are a parent in City of Burton, Washington County, your worst fear might be receiving a call that your college student has been hurt. Not in a car accident or from an illness, but from intentional harm inflicted by the very organization they trusted to become part of a community. Right now, in Houston, we are fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in Texas history—and it shows exactly how quickly tradition can turn into tragedy. In November 2025, our firm filed a $10 million lawsuit on behalf of Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student who nearly died after brutal hazing by the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter.
