On the civil side- I don't handle personal injury cases. I found this link that may be helpful.
http://blog.txinjurylawfirm.com/2009/05/sexual-... On the criminal side the statute of limitations for a sexual assault/indecency with a child cases is 10 years from the victim's 18th birthday. Now for the disclaimer- This isn't legal advice, nor is it an attorney client relationship. You should consult with an attorney before making any important decisions in this matter.
