Legal Question in Personal Injury in Texas

I gave a depostition a couple months ago on a law suit. I lied on a couple of the questions about my past. It looks like they are wanting to go to trial now. When I am called to testify can I go to jail for lying at the deposition? Can I plead the 5th when Im called to testify? Thnaks

My suggestion is that hire an attorney to represent you on this.

Your attorney would probably help you correct your deposition testimony.

You need to do this immediately.
