Can anyone here speak to the experience of lateraling to one of the TX-based high-end personal injury firms? Interested in hiring process and timelines, comp, prospects?

Looking for info on firms that actually try complex personal injury cases, like Arnold and Itkin in Houston and Lyons and Simmons in Dallas. I am a mid-level, and while I enjoy litigation, I have a hard time feeling passionate about commercial lit. I worked at a PI firm before law school and actually found it very interesting, plus the comp ceiling seems unmatched at the high-end shops.

Ceiling is high, but it's what you'd have to go through to get there. These places tend to be full of insane micromanagement, and the comp model is very different than what you're used to having. Are you likely to have a steady stream of referrals? If not, they burn through junior associates at an impressive rate - so you'll probably get a chance to try your hand at something else in short order.
