Terms Used In Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code 90.008

  • Damages: Money paid by defendants to successful plaintiffs in civil cases to compensate the plaintiffs for their injuries.
  • Dismissal: The dropping of a case by the judge without further consideration or hearing. Source:

Before serving a report required by § 90.003 or 90.004, a claimant seeking damages arising from an asbestos-related injury or silica-related injury may voluntarily dismiss the claimant’s action. If a claimant files a voluntary dismissal under this section, the claimant’s voluntary dismissal is without prejudice to the claimant’s right to file a subsequent action seeking damages arising from an asbestos-related injury or a silica-related injury.
