Hazing at Texas Universities: A Complete Guide for Village of The Hills Families If Your Child Was Hurt in a Fraternity, Sorority, or Campus Group, You Are Not Alone We understand the fear that grips a parent in Village of The Hills. It might start with a late-night phone call, a text message that doesn’t sound right, or your child coming home from the University of Texas at Austin or Texas State University withdrawn and injured. You learn they were forced through brutal workouts, humiliated in front of peers, or coerced into drinking dangerous amounts of alcohol—all in the name of “joining” or “proving their loyalty.” The university’s response feels slow and bureaucratic, while the organization circles its wagons. In that moment of crisis, you need two things: immediate guidance from someone who understands this dark corner of campus life, and proof that accountability is possible. Right now, we are proving that accountability in a Texas courtroom. We represent Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student who suffered rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure after horrific hazing by the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter. As reported by Click2Houston and ABC13, the hazing included a degrading “pledge fanny pack,” being sprayed…

The Definitive Guide to Hazing Lawsuits & Accountability for Village of San Leanna Families A Texas Parent’s Worst Nightmare: When "Tradition" Becomes Trauma Picture a crisp fall evening in the Village of San Leanna. Your child, a bright student you raised with care here in Travis County, is at their university campus—perhaps just a short drive away at UT Austin, or further at Texas A&M or the University of Houston. They texted earlier about a "bid acceptance" or "big brother reveal" with their new fraternity or sorority. The messages seemed excited. Now, it's 2 AM, and your phone rings. Your child’s voice is slurred, confused, terrified. They’ve been forced to drink beyond any reasonable limit. They’re being taunted, humiliated, or worse—they’re injured and afraid to call for help because older members warned that "snitches get stitches" and the chapter will be shut down. This isn't a hypothetical. Right now, in Houston, we're fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in the country. In late 2025, we filed a $10 million hazing and abuse lawsuit on behalf of Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student and Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter pledge.

It's a Tuesday night, but they're not studying. They're in an off-campus house, surrounded by older fraternity members. Their phone buzzes constantly with demands in a GroupMe chat. They're exhausted from days of sleep deprivation, forced to attend "mandatory" late-night sessions, wearing a degrading "pledge" item. Tonight, they're told to drink from a bottle being passed around—a "tradition." They hesitate, but the room falls silent. The message is clear: drink or face social exclusion. Hours later, they're vomiting, disoriented, and scared to call for help because "brothers don't get brothers in trouble." This isn't a dramatization. It's happening right now on Texas campuses, including those where Pflugerville families send their children: UT Austin, Texas A&M, the University of Houston, and others.
