Premises Liability Laws in Texas
- Licensee – If you have the owner’s consent to be on the property, but are not there for a commercial purpose, you are known as a “licensee.”
- Invitee – If you have the owner’s consent to be on the property and are specifically there for commercial purposes that benefit both you and the owner, you are known as an “invitee.”
- Trespasser –
If you do not have the owner’s consent to be on the property, you are illegally trespassing, which means that the owner does not have to secure your safety.
Premise Definitions in Texas
What is crucial in establishing a premises liability claim it's identifying the type of premises where the injury occurred. Sidewalks, lawns, external buildings, or structures all fall under the umbrella of a person's premises.
Therefore, the manager or owner holds the responsibility for maintaining these areas. Both private residential properties (e.g., swimming pools or houseboats) and private commercial properties (e.g., retail stores or stadiums) are susceptible to premises liabilities. Public properties, including public roads or parks, are also covered under Texas law.
