Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.073 · Subchapter D. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
APPLICABILITY OF LIMITATIONS PERIODS TO ARBITRATION.
Verbatim from the official edition
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
A claim that is sought to be arbitrated is subject to the same limitations period that would apply to the claim if the claim had been brought in court. Commencing an action asserting a claim by filing suit in a court of competent jurisdiction will toll the applicable limitations period for arbitration of the same claim.
