Texas SB847 limits liability for cavern entities in certain injury cases.

Texas SB847 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to establish limited liability for cavern entities regarding injuries from cavern activities. A cavern entity is exempt from liability for participant injuries if a warning sign is posted at each cavern entrance. However, this exemption does not apply if the injury results from the entity's negligence, a known dangerous condition, or inadequate employee training. The Act takes effect September 1, 2025, unless it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative houses for immediate effect.
