HJR 25 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment eliminating the statute of limitations for suits for personal injury arising from certain sexual offenses against a child.

HJR 25 proposes a constitutional amendment to eliminate the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits related to specific child sexual offenses. It would allow victims to file civil suits at any time if the injury resulted from offenses including sexual assault of a child, trafficking, indecency, or related crimes. The amendment would require voter approval in the November 2025 election and applies only to cases involving the listed offenses against minors. This change directly affects survivors of these crimes by removing time restrictions for seeking civil remedies.
