Dear Ms.
Each state has it's own set of laws and rules of evidence. You would likely need an attorney licensed to practice in Texas. I know of a qualified attorney who handles many medical malpractice cases in Texas. If you are interested you may email me at walkon@craigwalkon.com or telephone my office at (949) 487-0177.
Thank you,

You should talk to a Texas attorney that handles medical malpractice claims. If the incident happened in Dallas, the case would likely have to be filed in the Dallas area.

The short answer is "yes", an attorney in Amarillo would be able to work the widow's case. However, location of the attorney may not be as important as the attorney's competence in the particular area of law. Further, the case may need to be filed in Dallas as the alleged malpractice occurred there. A Dallas attorney may be more familiar with the courts and judges, and thus better able to prosecute the decedent's claims against the health care providers. In either case, interview and research the attorney(s) you may hire to make sure they are competent to handle the claims.
