What is the statute of limitations in Texas on debt collections for a private hospital bill?

The statute of limitations for debt collection for a private hospital bill in Texas is four (4) years from the date of service.

This means that a hospital has four years to file a lawsuit against you for a debt that you owe them. If they do not file a lawsuit within this time frame, then they will no longer be able to pursue the debt through the courts.

However, it is important to note that the statute of limitations can be tolled, meaning that it can be paused or stopped. This can happen for a number of reasons, such as if you make a partial payment on the debt or if you file for bankruptcy.

If you are being sued for a private hospital bill, it is important to speak with an attorney to discuss your rights and options.
