Final Two Lawsuits Against Deshaun Watson Dismissed, Ending Civil Cases

Both cases were closed with prejudice through confidential settlements ahead of scheduled trials.

Overview

  • Court records show the remaining civil complaints in Texas were dismissed with prejudice, concluding the long-running litigation.
  • Plaintiffs’ attorney Tony Buzbee said a settlement was reached in at least one case and noted his involvement in the Watson matters has ended.
  • The two suits had been slated for trials on Feb. 18 and March 30 before the dismissals.
  • In all, 27 lawsuits were filed since 2021, with 24 previously settled and one withdrawn, and the Houston Texans separately reached settlements with 30 women.
  • Watson has denied wrongdoing; two Texas grand juries declined to indict, and the NFL issued an 11-game suspension, a $5 million fine and required a behavioral evaluation.
