House Bill No. 5624 introduces Chapter 75E to the Civil Practice and Remedies Code, establishing limited liability for motorized off-road vehicle entities concerning injuries sustained during motorized off-road vehicle activities. The bill defines key terms, including "motorized off-road vehicle," "motorized off-road vehicle activity," and "motorized off-road vehicle entity." It stipulates that these entities are not liable for injuries to participants if a specific warning sign is posted at the entrance of the activity area. However, liability is retained in cases of gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or failure to provide proper training to employees.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the warning sign must clearly state that Texas law limits the liability of motorized off-road vehicle entities for injuries or death resulting from such activities. The changes in law will only apply to causes of action that accrue on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislation aims to clarify the responsibilities and liabilities of entities involved in motorized off-road vehicle activities, promoting safety while also protecting them from excessive legal claims.
