Texas HB1990 limits liability for owners, lessees, and occupants of nonagricultural land for certain damages and injuries.

HB1990 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to add a new section limiting liability for owners, lessees, and occupants of nonagricultural land. Specifically, these individuals are not liable for damages or injuries resulting from the actions or omissions of peace officers, federal law enforcement officers, or firefighters entering the land, actions of trespassers, third parties damaging fences or gates, or wildlife and natural disasters. This protection does not apply if the damage or injury stems from a willful or wanton act or gross negligence by the owner, lessee, or occupant.
