HB 1075 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to a cause of action for drag performances performed in the presence of a minor.

HB 1075 creates a new legal cause of action allowing minors (under 18) to sue drag performers, venues, or promoters if a "lascivious" drag performance occurs in front of them. The law defines "lascivious" as conduct of a sexual nature (including intentional genital exposure) that violates community standards for minors, and requires venues to take reasonable steps to restrict minor access. If a minor wins a lawsuit under this law, they can recover actual damages for harm suffered, $5,000 in statutory damages, and attorney fees. This bill directly affects drag performers, event venues, and minors attending such performances, with the law taking effect September 1, 2025.
