Property owners in Texas are legally required to maintain safe conditions on their premises. When they fail to correct hazards or warn visitors about dangers, serious accidents can happen. These situations fall under an area of personal injury law called premises liability. If you were hurt on someone else’s property — whether in a retail store, apartment complex, workplace, or public space — you may have grounds to pursue compensation for your injuries.

What is Premises Liability in Texas?
In Texas, premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners and managers to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors. If an unsafe condition exists and the owner knew — or should have known — about it but failed to take action, they may be liable for resulting injuries.
Common premises liability cases include:
Hazards such as wet floors, uneven sidewalks, and poor lighting often cause serious falls.
Lack of proper security measures that lead to assaults or other crimes on the property.
Residential or commercial fires caused by faulty wiring, unsafe equipment, or failure to maintain fire safety systems.
Attacks occurring on private property due to negligent pet supervision.
Drowning and injuries caused by unsafe conditions or lack of supervision.
Exposure from defective appliances or poor ventilation.
Items dropped from shelves, construction sites, or unsafe storage areas.
Texas Premises Liability Laws
Texas law places different levels of responsibility on property owners depending on the type of visitor.
Understanding which category you fall under is critical in building your case. Our attorneys will carefully analyze your situation and apply the law to maximize your claim.
Customers, tenants, or others on the property for the owner’s benefit. Owners owe the highest duty of care to inspect for and correct hazards.
Social guests or people entering for non-business purposes. Owners must warn them of known dangers but are not required to inspect for hidden ones.
Individuals who enter without permission. Owners generally owe no duty of care, except not to intentionally cause harm.
