Premises liability cases require specific proof of an unreasonably dangerous condition, and proof that the premises owner/operator (or its employees) knew or should have known the condition existed before your injury. Unless there is evidence of this unreasonably dangerous condition, and that the premises owner/operator was aware of the existence of the condition before the injury occurred, you will probably be unable to prove the case.
You should contact the premises owner/operator in writing (sent by a method you can prove was sent, such as a fax or email with a receipt acknowledgement, or a letter sent by certified mail, return receipt requested) and request that they locate and preserve any video evidence of the area of the incident for at least four hours before the incident. Often, businesses have surveillance cameras that record incidents, and how a dangerous condition was created.
If you learn any information that would prove the premises owner/operator knew of the existence of the dangerous condition before you were injured, you should contact a lawyer.
Texas law provides for a two year statute of limitations in personal injury cases. That means you have two years from the date of the event that caused your injury to file suit. If you do not file suit on time, your right to sue will expire.
