SB 2905 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to elimination of limitations periods for suits for personal injury arising from certain offenses against a child or disabled individual.

SB 2905 eliminates the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits arising from specific crimes against children or disabled individuals. It directly affects victims who suffered injuries from offenses like sexual assault of a child (Penal Code §22.011), continuous sexual abuse (§21.02), or child pornography (§43.26). The bill removes the standard two-year deadline for filing such lawsuits, allowing victims to pursue legal action at any time, regardless of when the abuse occurred. Key provisions target 13 specific crimes listed in the bill, including trafficking and online solicitation of minors, as defined in Texas Penal Code sections.
