A mass tort is a civil action involving numerous plaintiffs against one or a few corporate defendants. The tort may involve, for example, personal injuries suffered by numerous plaintiffs as a result of a defective product, or a mass disaster in which there were many injured persons, such as an airplane crash, or exposure of a large group of people to toxic chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
Delmita is an unincorporated community in Starr County, Texas, United States. Its elevation is 272 feet (83 m). Although Delmita is unincorporated, it has a post office, with the ZIP code of 78536. Originally founded as Zaragosa in 1919, the community's name was changed to Delmita on 1931-04-01 due to confusion with the Reeves County community of Saragosa. The community's first post office was established soon after the community itself was, but a new post office was constructed in 1991. Delmita's importance has fallen through the years; in 1940, it was the most important community in the northeastern part of the county, but it has since been overshadowed by San Isidro.
