Texas Next Steps
What happens when you ask to be connected, who receives your information, what the connection is and is not, and how to opt out at any point.
The short answer
Submitting information here does not create an attorney-client relationship and is not a case evaluation. It passes your details to one or more participating attorneys who may pay a fee to receive inquiries. Whether to take the matter is entirely their decision.
In this guide
What this is
National Claim Network is a marketing and lead generation service. It is not a law firm, it does not provide legal advice, and it does not evaluate legal claims. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Texas, TxDOT, the Texas Department of Insurance or the State Bar of Texas.
When you ask to be connected, your information is passed to one or more participating attorneys or law firms for them to review. Everything after that is between you and them.
How connections are made
Case type, incident date and geographic location. Nothing about the quality, competence or suitability of any attorney for your particular matter.
Attorneys and law firms may pay a fee to receive inquiries submitted through this site. That is disclosed here and on the Disclosures page rather than buried.
A connection is not an endorsement, referral or recommendation of any attorney’s qualifications, and it is not a statement that your matter has merit.
Your information may go to more than one participating attorney or firm, and you may hear from more than one of them.
Your information
With participating attorneys or law firms, for the purpose of reviewing your inquiry.
Including by more than one party, and including through automated technology. Calls may be monitored or recorded.
Consent to be contacted is not required to receive legal services or as a condition of any purchase.
Reply STOP to text messages, or HELP for assistance. Email opt-outs and SMS opt-outs are separate and each must be done individually.
The full position is in the Privacy Policy and the Legal Disclaimer.
What it does not mean
That is formed only by a separate signed agreement with a licensed attorney.
Any evaluation of a legal claim in Texas is performed solely by a licensed attorney.
No attorney is obliged to contact you or to accept the matter.
No outcome, recovery or compensation is guaranteed, and past results do not guarantee similar results.
Doing it yourself
You are free to contact any attorney licensed in Texas directly, and you can verify a lawyer’s licence status and disciplinary history through the State Bar of Texas.
You are also free to deal with the insurer yourself. Many straightforward property-damage claims are handled without a lawyer. The pages on this site are written so that reading them is useful whether or not you ever ask to be connected with anyone.
Common questions
No. Participating attorneys and law firms may pay a fee to receive inquiries submitted through this site. Nothing is charged to you for the connection.
No. There is no guarantee that you will be contacted, matched with an attorney, or that any attorney will accept the matter.
It is shared with participating attorneys or law firms for the purpose of reviewing your inquiry. Depending on how your state defines a sale, some sharing may be treated as one. The Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy set out the position and your opt-out rights.
Reply STOP to any text message, or HELP for assistance. Opting out of texts does not opt you out of email, and vice versa; each channel is separate.
Yes, and you should feel free to. The State Bar of Texas maintains public information on licensed Texas attorneys and operates a lawyer referral service.
Sources
The framework governing attorney advertising and referral arrangements in Texas is set out in the sources below. Nothing on this page is legal advice about that framework.

Next steps
Read the Texas rules that apply, or see how a request for attorney review works. General information only, not legal advice.
Texas-specific information on crash deadlines, fault rules and insurance, with the statute cited on every page. Operated by National Claim Network. Not a law firm, insurer, or government agency.
This is attorney advertising. National Claim Network is a marketing and lead generation service that connects individuals with licensed attorneys. It is not a law firm, an insurance company, or a government agency, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the State of Texas, TxDOT, the Texas Department of Insurance or the State Bar of Texas, and it does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Nothing on this site creates an attorney-client relationship. Deadlines to file a legal claim vary by state and case type — in Texas the general personal-injury deadline is two years — do not delay in seeking legal advice.
No guarantee, warranty, or prediction of outcome is made. Past results do not guarantee similar results. If representation is offered on a contingency basis, clients may still be responsible for certain costs or expenses as required by the retaining law firm.
Dramatized scenes, symbols, figures, or testimonials are illustrative, not based on actual events, and may feature paid actors or spokespersons. Recoveries vary. “No fee” describes attorney fees; costs may apply. Phrases such as “best” are slogans, not rankings or awards.
Paid independent attorney advertising. National Claim Network connects users with licensed, independently practicing attorneys and law firms who may pay a fee to receive inquiries submitted through this site.
