Texas common law bailment principles (no specific statute)
Statute of Limitations
You have 2 years for property damage (Civil Practice & Remedies Code §16.003) to file a claim for valet parking damage in Texas.
Notable Application
Texas courts generally find valet parking creates a bailment relationship, requiring operators to exercise ordinary care.
Why evidence matters in Texas
Legal rights don't matter unless you can prove when damage occurred. CarShake creates GPS-verified, timestamped, SHA-256 hashed evidence of your car's condition before and after valet parking — admissible evidence that changes the outcome of disputes.
